I'm me not you

Being patient isn’t easy,

And love only causes pain,

All my flaws I show again and again.

I’m not perfect I know,

But it’s who I am and that’s what I show.

People ask me why I act like I do,

I just say I’m me not you.

I go on from day to day,

Wishing I could find the words to say.

My friends go on and on about how he should know,

I know I love him and they do too,

But all I can say is I’m me not you.

People should stop trying to change me,

I like being perfectly flawed.

They say the same thing all the time,

My reply is always I’m me not you.
