I Am Not A Robot
Marina the Diamonds Lyrics

You've been acting awful tough lately
You've been putting up a front and pretending to be strong lately.

Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
You've been using smoking as a coping mechanism for your emotions lately.

But inside, you're just a little baby
Despite your tough exterior, you have vulnerabilities and emotions like everyone else.

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
It's alright to admit that you have areas where you struggle or need help.

You don't always have to be on top
You don't need to constantly be in control or the best at everything.

Better to be hated
It's preferable to be disliked for who you really are than be loved for pretending to be someone else.

Than loved loved loved for what your not
It's worse to be accepted or loved for something you are not or haven't truly earned.

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You have weaknesses and are susceptible to emotional pain.

You are not a robot
Despite having vulnerabilities, you are still human with emotions and feelings.

You're lovable, so lovable
You are worthy of love and affection.

But you're just troubled
However, you are struggling with your emotions and inner turmoil.

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
You've been surrounding yourself with people who are not well-liked or appreciated.

Who you never really liked and you never trusted
You don't actually enjoy being around these people or trust them.

But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Despite your reservations, people are drawn to you and seek your attention.

Never committing to anything
You are afraid of making long-term commitments or attachments due to your fear of being vulnerable.

You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
You avoid confronting your issues or problems by ignoring them and not taking responsibility.

Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
Stop being self-deprecating and allow yourself to express your emotions and vulnerabilities.

Can you teach me how to feel real
You are struggling with feeling authentic and genuine in your emotions and want help.

Can you turn my power on
You are seeking a way to tap into your own strength and confidence.

Well, let the drum beat drop
Get ready to let go and express yourself authentically.

Guess what I'm not a robot
You are affirming to yourself and others that you are not emotionless or unfeeling.

Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Repeating this phrase reinforces the idea that you are human with emotions and vulnerabilities.
