You try
You fail
You make a bad impression
I cry you bail
Sticky situation
I know
You know
If your infatuation
You stay
I'll go

[Chorus]
I am not the girl
You thought I would be
I will never be
So get over me
I am not the girl
I'm going to be
Nothing more to say

My wings, they grow
Call it evolution
Some things move slow
With determination
You ask
You cry
It's your desolation
You wonder why

I am not the girl
You thought I would be
I will never be
So get over me
I am not the girl
I'm going to be

(Why do I have to hear you say these things over and over)
You can't deal with trust
(How many times do I have to listen to you trying to make me be something that I'm not)
You can't handle me
(Why can't I do the things you want me to do)
(Why can't I talk the way you want me to talk)
(Well I'm tired of trying to make myself be what you want me to be)
I am me

I don't foresee any resolution
You won't agree
Unfavorable reception
I know I need out of this attrition
Do you hear me

I am not the girl
You thought I would be
I will never be
So get over me
I am not the girl
I'm going to be

(Why can't I do the things you want me to do)

I am not the girl
You thought I would be
I will never be
So get over me
I am not the girl
I'm going to be
