Megadeth - Something That I’m Not lyrics

Your mind tells you that
You've lost your confidence
You're drifting and you don't
Believe in anyone
To lose what little you have
Left to be proud of
Afraid you can't do this again

You said that nothing come in between us
The way of getting things we wanted done
Then enissophobia held you
Under it's influence
Until you compromised your style

Everything about you has been one big charade
What will you do now that the wells run dry?
(Cry?) to sell out all your friends and
Stab them in the back

It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not

When you forced me into doing what you love
Mark my words no one loves you very much
(yeah mark 'em)
And when you tried to change me
And tried to replace me
I couldn't help but end just hating you

Being a fraud can only last so long
(You should know)
Until what you sensed as a child returns
(You little baby)
To choke out the voice that told
You "money and the fame"
Would fill the crater that
You dug for yourself

Unlike you I'm no vision to myself
Lest you forget
You didn't ever make metal, buddy
Metal made you
To crush and run over everyone along the way

It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not

A stranger to yourself
Ha! You pissed me off again
I won't be driven by your needs anymore
What you'd become to do or be
Is clear to see for me

It's something that you are
Something that I'm not

It makes me sick to hear
You say you "love me"
I know you only love what I can do for you
If you were the one that
Was leading the charge
Would you notice if I missed a day or two?
(But that's impossible)

We all laughed at the
Parodies that you'd become
Now your pain slowly paid back has begun
So, accept my resignation
Or in your words "betrayal"
Before it gets much worse
End this self-sabotage

Something I'm not, something that you are
Something I'm not

Something I'm not, something that you are
Something I'm not, something that you are
Something that I'm not yet
