You Confuse Me
IAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the boy with the curly locks
The one that thinks he’s worth a million bucks
Lemme cut you down to size real quick
You think you got to me? I must admit.. nah
Your sweet talk your smooth walk the way you Look my jaw drops
But I can’t let myself be Fooled
I tread light dont make me smile cuz I’m the Only one worth while
But I guess you can play It off cool
I know what I’m doin
Intentions so translucent maybe
You should get your head in the game
My heart it is fragile
But u didn’t break it
I bet you can’t say the same
Did you ever believe I’d put you before me
If You can’t meet my needs
You should just forget me
Cuz I’m all that I need
And I ain’t down on my knees
Because I spread my angel wings
Now you can’t touch me
To the boy who tried to make me cry y
The one who thought I was too weak to say Goodbye
You will see that there’s more than what meets The eye
I’m like a phoenix in the ashes waiting to rise
I know your game you played it well
But that don’t mean that I can’t tell
You’re just like the other boys
Don’t touch me
Don’t wanna be
With you no more why can’t we
Go our separate ways be no more
I know what Youre doin
Intentions so translucent baby
You can’t just play me like a game
My heart isnt fragile
And you couldn’t break it
I’m the only one with that much Power anyway
Did you ever believe I’d put you Before me
If You can’t meet my needs
You should just forget me
Cuz I’m all that I need
And I ain’t down on my knees
Because I spread my angel wings
Now you can’t touch
Im flying so high in the sky
So far above where you took me that Night




I don’t know why you hurt me Everytime
But I know that I’ll always survive
