Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and then you're not
You're In the shadows
in the bar
I hear you're talking
'Bout someone it sounds like me
the way you look over your shoulder
I'd be sad if you were leaving without me
we could take the first cab on the street - drive the highway back to me
stay the night or never leave
we could push the limit you and I
you'll be fire I'll be ice
never leave or stay the night
I know you want your hands on this
cause I can read your lips
they're wondering
where do you where do you where do you
where do you think you're going baby
Oh my mind
Is running wild tonight
got me at
where do you where do you where do you
where do you think you're going baby
so why you're standing next her
when I'm the one that you deserve
I gonna show you how it works when you're with me
yeah I'm at 200 degrees
so come on closer feel the heat
yeah you'd be sad if you were leaving without me
we could take the first cab on the street - drive the highway back to me
stay the night or never leave
know you want your hands on this
cause I can read your lips
they're wondering
where do you where do you where do you
where do you think you're going baby
Oh my mind
Is running wild tonight
got me at
where do you where do you where do you
where do you think you're going baby

know I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Bishoojit
I am still here ...
I never came to just collect the hearts.
I wanted you..however you are...
Forgive my all mistakes... My lies ...
Its heartbreaking to hear your soul...
I promise.. Your wait is no regret...
We are same ... We think ..and we fear show...
I don't know the feelings i have ...
But its always only for you ..
I want to hear your voice and have you in my arms ..
I am sorry.
Sush.

Love comes in many forms. For me there is only one true love that matter's and it's the one most of us struggle with the most, loving one's self.
To give one's self totally to another only opens up the high probability of loving one's self less.
Majority speaking most relationships are held together through necessity or pride through what other's think of you. Again this shows a lack of love for one's self.
Take care of yourself.

I listened and listened, to "Who do you think you are?" I'm a songwriter, so I was mesmerized by the lricks. Putting the melody and words together. Kudo's to all who were involved in this . A special thanks, to Christiana. What a beautiful, heartfelt and effortless performance. Dennis B.

I do understand the title is not "Who do you think you are?" But I like it. It's how I relate to the song.. So forgive me, for being so obtuse...
