I'm Not the One
3OH!3 Lyrics

You're way too young to be broken
You are still too young to be struggling with emotional scars and issues of pain, it is not yet time for that.

You're way too young to fall apart
You are not yet old enough to break down and lose all hope, there is still time to find strength.

You're way too young to play these games
You are not mature enough to handle manipulative and hurtful ways of communication in relationships with others.

But you better start
However, it is necessary to start learning and growing in order to handle the difficulties of life that lay ahead.

This is when it starts
At this moment, when the heart is beating and life is happening, is when the process of learning and growing must begin.

From the beating of your heart
The essence of life that is the heart must guide the learning and growing process.

Til the streetlamps talk to you
During the dark moments of life, when the streetlamps are the only light, the individual must be willing to listen and learn from their surroundings.

Jumpin' off of the edge
Taking risks and experiencing the unknown can be terrifying, but it is necessary to grow and learn.

You're asleep in your head
The individual is mentally unaware and not thinking clearly due to the emotional turmoil they may be experiencing.

Everything's turning dark to you
The individual feels like their entire world is turning against them, forcing them into darkness and despair.

I went to pick up the parts
I tried to pick up the individual's shattered and broken pieces that were scattered around them.

The doctor's hidin' the charts
The doctor is not revealing the full extent of the individual's emotional troubles to their friends and family.

He won't let me see this side of you
The doctor is not allowing the individual's friends and family to see the full extent of the individual's struggles and pain.

It's on the tip of my tongue
I am aware of the individual's hidden pain and struggles that the doctor is hiding from others.

You know you're way too young to have someone lie to you
The individual should not be deceived and lied to by others, especially at such a young age.

It was the second I lit
The moment I started smoking was when everything changed between us.

It was your first cigarette
It was the individual's first time experiencing smoking.

I forget who you used to be
The individual has changed in significant ways since their first cigarette, and it has affected their personality and character.

And I bit my lip the second you sipped
I became nervous and worried the moment the individual took a sip of their first alcoholic beverage.

The poison that was mixed for me
The alcohol was not meant for me, and it is dangerous when combined with my own struggles and issues.

Drink the poison lightly
If the individual is going to consume alcohol, they should do it in moderation and avoid causing any damage to themselves or others.

'Cause there are deeper and darker things than you
There is always someone else who is struggling to a deeper and greater extent than the individual, and they should keep that in mind when facing their own difficulties.

I know, 'cause I've been there too
I have also faced deep and dark struggles, and I can empathize with the individual's pain.

I know it must seem frightening
I understand that the individual's situation can be scary and overwhelming.

To have the world fall apart right under your shoes
It can be distressing when everything in the individual's life seems to crumble and break apart.

Trust me, you'll make it through
I believe in the individual's resilience and strength, and I know they will be able to overcome their struggles and pain.

You better find somebody else
If the individual is looking for someone to hurt and blame for their struggles, they need to look elsewhere.

And get a hold of yourself
The individual needs to take responsibility for their own emotions and actions and learn to control them.

I'm not the one who wants to hurt you
I do not want to cause the individual any pain or hurt, and I am not trying to do so.
