That Aint You

Yeah… I know that one… I wore that too. I know that tone, that half-shut down Say you’re good but you ain’t around Laugh it off, keep it light But your eyes don’t match it right I’ve been there, played that role Kept it moving, paid the toll Told myself it’s just a phase Lost more time than I could save I’m not here to call you out Just saying what I know about That ain’t you… I’ve seen it clear Not the mask you’re wearing here You don’t need to run it through That ain’t you Not the weight you think you hold Not the story that got told You don’t have to play it through That ain’t you You go quiet, call it calm But it’s pressure under palm Say it’s fine, let it slide But it’s building up inside I used to wear that same skin Call it strength, let it win Thought control meant locking tight Till it broke me out of sight I’m not saying I’m ahead Just remember what you said That ain’t you… I’ve seen it clear Not the mask you’re wearing here You don’t need to run it through That ain’t you Not the weight you think you hold Not the story that got told You don’t have to play it through That ain’t you I’m not trying to pull you out You’ll get there when you figure it out Just know when it gets too loud… You don’t have to stay that way You don’t have to carry it today You don’t have to prove it stays That ain’t you… not what I see Not the version you let be You don’t have to follow through That ain’t you I’ve been wrong the way you are Still made it back to who we are You don’t need to break in two That ain’t you Yeah… I know that one… You’ll see it too.
