Who We Are Instead

Who We Are Instead

 

Verse 1

I may come across as being shy and timid

But that’s just an act

I can weasel my way into situations

For my benefit

Winning is never tiring

 

Verse 2

You may come across as being nurturing

But that’s just an act

You tend to others varied feelings and emotions

Then manipulate them

People say you have a good heart

They say you have a kindred soul

Many would nominate you for Time’s Person of The Year

You’re a fierce competitor

Challenges give you a rush

When there’s something that you want

You fight everyone to win it

Bridge

You and I are human time bombs

Get too close to us

And we’re guaranteed to blow you away

We have tricks up our sleeves

Always finding clever ways

To get ahead of others

We win all the time

 

Verse 3

You and I may come across as being compassionate

But that’s just an act

Everyone should be mindful of us

We’ll turn lives upside down

And declare ourselves winners

 

Chorus 1

This is who I am instead

I like messing around with your head

You never know what you’ll get from me

Once you realize that I’m much different

Than I pretend to be

 

Chorus 2

This is who you are instead

You like messing around with heads

People never know what they’ll get from you

Once they realize that you’re much different

Than you pretend to be

 

Chorus 3

This is who we are instead

We like messing around with your head

You never know what you’ll get from us

Once you realize that we’re much different

Than we pretend to be
