lyrics

I don’t wanna be a type
Don’t wanna be a picture in a frame
I don’t wanna be the life that you imagined
When you were still a kid
There’s nothing wrong with dreaming
But I don’t fit
You let go so well that it’s like I don’t exist

And your friends keep telling me
You look so happy together
But I know I’ve got nothing that he needs
And your friends keep asking me
How come you’re not together
But I know I’ve got nothing that he needs

And he’s moved past the place where happy even matters
Where happy is a question you can ask
And he won’t see me
So he never has to answer for this

I don’t wanna be a type
Don’t wanna be a picture in a frame
I don’t wanna be the person behind the person behind the name
There’s nothing wrong with dreaming
But I don’t fit
You let go so well that it’s like I don’t exist
