The One You Like Ain’t Me

I’m the brave one, standing still, holding tight against the thrill

Watch the clock, it bends my will, every minute standing still

When you walk by, my heartbeat flips — yeah, baby please

Time just freezes on your lips — that’s where I wanna be

Got my style, I’m looking fine, mirror glows like neon signs

Hope you smile, it’s showtime — ready now to cross the line

Yesterday was shades of grey, today I’m painting bright and free

It’s the day I face myself, yeah the day I’m meant to be

Mirror says I look okay, but I lost myself that way

Magazine boy, fake display — who’s that guy, I can’t say

(Feel the beat) The one you like ain’t really me

Tryna fit your fantasy

But I’ll tell you honestly

Even if you don’t agree

(Feel the beat) The one you like ain’t really me

Can’t be cool eternally

So I’ll say it truthfully

Even if you walk from me

Stylish shoes and silver chain, waiting under city rain

Wanted shine but got the pain — fake can’t stand, it fades again

Talkin’ nightly on the phone, didn’t feel I’m all alone

Now I know, I’ve grown my own — love don’t care for skin or tone

Did my best to make you glad, didn’t wanna make you sad

Now I’m done with all that fad — I’m just me, and that’s not bad

(Stay with me) The one you like ain’t really me

Tryna match your melody

But I’ll say it honestly

Hope you still believe in me

(Truth in me)The one you like ain’t really me

Tryna live in harmony

Now I speak it openly

You’re the one who set me free

I said the truth, you smiled at me

Said “I knew it — finally”

Heart so light, now I can breathe

That’s the love I wanna see

Turns out the one you liked was me

As I am, just naturally

Now I live authentically

You and I, our destiny

The one you like — really me.

We make our start.

Step in sync, we play our part.

You and me — yes, you and me

Glad you fell for me

Glad I’m who I want to be

Glad it’s us, just meant to be

Glad you loved the real of me

Yeah, I’m glad it’s you — I’m glad it’s me

That’s the way it’s meant to be

We’re finally free — eternally free

You and me !
