Not Quite Who
from Cry But Why by Tendon Levey
lyrics
You have forced yourself out and upon
Just any random one from healthier stories
Your lies were white as eyes to any lacking their shine
I would not share my tune with a bulb whose blown
If a contest could be won by a thief
You would have won me (you would)
I watch you while you knock
You knock, you knock, you knock, you knock
Haven't you knocked enough
So disappear with your filthy talk
No dear, you're not quite who
No dear, you're not quite who
You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not
You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not
Not quite who I was hoping for...
Not quite who I was hoping for
Not quite who I was hoping for
My true love will visit when I'm open
If I start a shop of my own
A bakery
Where all the people walk by
To press their face against the windows that I just cleaned
Just any random one from healthier stories
Your lies were white as eyes to any lacking their shine
I would not share my tune with a bulb whose blown
If a contest could be won by a thief
You would have won me (you would)
I watch you while you knock
You knock, you knock, you knock, you knock
Haven't you knocked enough
So disappear with your filthy talk
No dear, you're not quite who
No dear, you're not quite who
You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not
You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not
Not quite who I was hoping for...
Not quite who I was hoping for
Not quite who I was hoping for
My true love will visit when I'm open
If I start a shop of my own
A bakery
Where all the people walk by
To press their face against the windows that I just cleaned
