If You Really Knew Me

All The Things I'm Not

I'm not perfect, but i'm not a mistake.

I'm not an angel, but i'm not a devil.

I'm not always right, and i'm not always wrong.

I'm not a liar, but who always tells the truth to everyone?

You make it sound so black and white,

When you say i am,

The devil, a whore, wrong, a liar.

When the truth is,

The only thing i know i am,

Is human.

I'm not the smartest girl there ever was, but i'm no idiot.

I may not be full of innocents, but i'm not most sinful you will see.

I'm not Shakespear, but i'm not illiterate.

I may be strong, but i'm not make of stone.

You speak to me as if i'm heartless,

Nothing can get through my walls,

But i shed tears too,

So many drops recently are from you.

Sometimes you may forget that like you,

I'm only human

I may not do everything right, but i don't get everything wrong.

I may not be the best at friendship, but i'm no better at enemies.

I may not be everything you want, but i'm not everything you don't.

I don't have endless patients, but i have quite a long rope.

You forget that i can cry too..

But don't forget that i love you.

According to you, i am stupid, a liar, I'm easy.

I'm nothing special. But that's everything i'm not.

And like me remember that all you are,

Is human.
