Center of attention once again
They don't understand
They don't understand, no
Then they try to tell me who I am
They don't understand
They don't understand, no
You want a perfect picture to believe in
Then you can't be looking for me, then
I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
It's my life, so truth be told
I see you're thinking but there's just one thing, dear
You think you know but you don't have no idea
Think you know me but there's more to see, my love
Same arguments, time and time again
And you watched them all happen
But they don't understand, no
Thinking you're the reason that it ends
And he won't be back again
But they don't understand, no
You want a perfect picture to believe in
Then you can't be looking for me, then
I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
It's my life, so truth be told
You don't know me
The girl you see in photographs is only
A part of the one I am, don't judge me
'Cause that's not reality and all I can be
Is in love with who I'm becoming
Think you know me, but there's more to see, my love
You think you know, but you don't have no idea
I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
It's my life, so truth be told (I see you're thinking)
You don't know me
I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
It's my life, so truth be told
I see you're thinking but there's just one thing, dear
You think you know but you don't have no idea
Think you know me but there's more to see, my love
My love
