Yea yea

The lyrics to Brandon Hines's song "This Ain't Me" convey the overwhelming emotions and confusion that come with falling deeply in love. The song begins with the singer experiencing restlessness and obsession with someone during sleepless nights. They wonder if the person thinks about them as much as they do, and express a desire to see them looking like a star. The singer feels a connection, feeling that they are "one in the same" and different from other guys. The intense infatuation causes the singer to question their own identity, feeling "messed up" and "in love." They express confusion and disbelief in their own actions, unable to sleep or eat properly. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the disbelief and confusion that love has brought upon them. The song ends with the realization that daydreaming about the person is no longer enough, as they have gained full control over the singer, leaving them feeling even more lost and enamored.
