Someone says my tone is annoying
That I act all high and mighty
Then someone else says I’m too nice
To the point of being foolish
Sometimes I don’t even understand these views
Though it’s frustrating
I talk with the many versions of me made by misunderstandings
We are all ‘me’
That I act all high and mighty
Then someone else says I’m too nice
To the point of being foolish
Sometimes I don’t even understand these views
Though it’s frustrating
I talk with the many versions of me made by misunderstandings
We are all ‘me’
either way, i’m good

To me, she’s a friend like a sister
But they say she’s too childish
That kid I thought was easygoing
Has a very tender heart
It’s because she’s I, and you’re E
Forget it, let’s just be V
