The Difference Between Us
Avion Roe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing beside myself in disbelief and I stop to imagine this life underneath it all new to the reason this consequence brings I'm not calm I'm not honest you're not who I thought you'd be

Lie
You'll always be with me a lie
Lie
You'll never forget me a lie
Lie
Stay safe the truth is that I
Never made you feel alive

Into the window you locked up I climb and I stop to examine the love in our live it's all new to me and we are crossing the lines I'm not cold but it's clear to me you're not who I thought you'd be

No.. No you're not
No... Never made you feel alive

Lie
You'll always be with me a lie

Lie
You'll never forget me a lie
Lie
Stay safe the truth is that I
Never made you feel alive

I'm not, you're not, we're not coming through
I'm not, you're not, we're not coming through
I'm not, you're not, we're not coming through

Standing beside myself in disbelief and I stop to imagine this life underneath it all new to the reason this consequence brings I'm not calm I'm not honest you're not who I thought you'd be
You're not who I thought you'd be




You're not who I thought you'd be
You're not who I thought you'd be

Line by Line Meaning

Standing beside myself in disbelief and I stop to imagine this life underneath it all new to the reason this consequence brings I'm not calm I'm not honest you're not who I thought you'd be
I'm shocked and confused, and as I try to envision my life in this situation, it feels foreign and strange. The outcome of our choices has brought us here, and I can't keep my cool or be truthful because you're not the person I expected you to be.


Lie You'll always be with me a lie
The idea of you staying with me forever is a lie.


Lie You'll never forget me a lie
You won't remember me forever - this is a false promise.


Lie Stay safe the truth is that I Never made you feel alive
Telling you to stay safe is the only honest thing I can say, because I know I never brought you to life or made you feel alive.


Into the window you locked up I climb and I stop to examine the love in our life it's all new to me and we are crossing the lines I'm not cold but it's clear to me you're not who I thought you'd be
I break into your locked-up heartspace and take a closer look at our love - it's something I'm not familiar with, and now we're getting in over our heads. I'm not emotionally disconnected, but it's obvious that you're not the person I wanted you to be.


No.. No you're not No... Never made you feel alive
You're not the person I was hoping for, and I know that I couldn't make you feel alive.


I'm not, you're not, we're not coming through I'm not, you're not, we're not coming through I'm not, you're not, we're not coming through
None of us are making it through this situation unscathed - we're all struggling and falling apart.


You're not who I thought you'd be You're not who I thought you'd be You're not who I thought you'd be
It's clear now that you're not the person I imagined you to be - this is a difficult realization to face.
