THE NEW VARSITY LYRICS

"Not What You Thought I'd Be"

I'm not imagining, this happens all the time.
So bittersweet that it's divine.
Your hopes so high that it might break you when you hit the ground
So sorry that it's over now, the lights have all gone out in this town.

I'm not what you thought I would be, this is the last time
(this is the last time that I will)
Close my eyes, and wait for this to end. You had to know that this would happen.
Now dry your eyes and walk away.

Put yourself in another pair of shoes, just not the ones I bought for you.
I wanna see if you last the night, or anywhere else for that matter.
I left you high and dry, but lets be honest you left me dead inside.
This is the consequence of letting me let you in.

I'm not what you thought I would be, this is the last time
(this is the last time that I will)
Close my eyes, and wait for this to end. You had to know that this would happen.
Now dry your eyes and walk away. [x2]

I'm not gone, and I'm not dead. I'm just the shell of a man who let this happen.
Do you see me just as I do?
An empty life will consume you and take you to those places you fear the most.
(Is anybody out there?)

I make a habit of getting in to deep, in an ocean of lies that makes it hard to breathe.
It's second nature to want to tell the secrets we meant to keep.
I'm getting better and better as the days go by, at hiding emotions and locking them inside-
My heart is a cave inside my chest, this time next year there might be nothing left.

(I'm not gone, and I'm not dead. I'm just the shell of a man who let this happen)

I'm not what you thought I would be, this is the last time
(this is the last time that I will)
Close my eyes, and wait for this to end. You had to know that this would happen.
Now dry your eyes and walk away. [x2]
