I'm Not the One
-3OH!3 Lyrics

You're way too young to be broken
You are too young to be emotionally shattered

You're way too young to fall apart
You are too young to have such a significant breakdown

You're way too young to play these games
You are too young to deal with the complicated and manipulative games that are being played

But you better start
But you need to start dealing with them now

This is when it starts
This is where it all begins

From the beating of your heart
From the moment you are born

'Til the streetlamps talk to you
Until your mind starts to play tricks on you

Jumpin' off of the edge
Taking dangerous risks and being reckless

You're asleep in your head
You are not fully aware of what is happening

Everything's turning dark to you
You are losing hope and everything seems bleak

I went to pick up the parts
I tried to pick up the pieces and fix things

The doctor's hidin' the charts
The professionals are not being truthful with me

He won't let me see this side of you
He won't let me see the part of you that needs help and attention

It's on the tip of my tongue
I want to say something, but I am hesitant

You know you're way too young to have someone lie to you
You should not have to deal with deceit and dishonesty at such a young age

I'm not the one
I am not the person responsible

Who wants to hurt you
Who wants to cause you harm

You better find somebody else
You need to seek help from someone else

And get a hold of yourself
And regain control over your emotions and situation

It was the second I lit
It all changed once I started to do something

It was your first cigarette
It was the moment you started to engage in unhealthy behavior

I forget who you used to be
I no longer recognize the person you are becoming

And I bit my lip the second you sipped
I held back from voicing my concerns as soon as you started consuming harmful substances

The poison that was mixed for me
The harmful and self-destructive behaviors that you have picked up are affecting me as well

Drink the poison lightly
Indulge in harmful behavior in moderation, do not go overboard

'Cause there are deeper and darker things than you
Because there are issues and struggles that are more significant than your own

I know, 'cause I've been there too
I understand because I have faced similar struggles

I know it must seem frightening
I know that it can be terrifying

To have the world fall apart right under your shoes
To feel like your world is crumbling beneath your feet

Trust me, you'll make it through
Believe me, you will get through this
