Lyrics
i
don't wanna be
i
don't wanna be
i don't wanna be, i don't wanna be
i don't wanna be what you see
what you think you see in me
only way to be,
only way to be
only way to be truly free is to find out who's inside of me
i
don't wanna know
i don't wanna know, i don't wanna know
i don't wanna know who's pulling strings
that are making me a gogo
some things dead
are better unsaid
except in conversations with the people in your head
'cause i don't wanna be
I don't want to be
i
don't wanna hear
i don't wanna hear, i don't wanna hear
i don't want those poisoned sweet nothings
that you're putting in my ears
the costs of sleep
are getting mighty cheap
so find another hero and tell him i'm a creep
cause i don't wanna be
