Your words keep haunting me
Like truth that's hanging heavy in the air
Clinging to a cynic's theory
I scramble for escape
So much for keeping cool
When trouble stared me in the face
I become someone I don't recognize when I try to explain
That's Not Me Talking
Don't know where these words are coming from
That's Not Me Talking
I've been possessed by someone I despise
That's Not Me Talking
I feel strange in my skin
When your words echo thoughts I keep buried
All the optimistic advice
Dismissed and not followed
Is a lump in my throat
I don't have the nerve to swallow
But some things distort and distract
'Til what matters becomes hollow
I can't think with optimism swimming in my head
All your talk of passion breathing life into the dead
But one man's ordinary is another man's amazing
That's Not Me Talking
Don't know where those words are coming from
That's Not Me Talking
I've been possessed by someone I despise
That's Not Me Talking
I've been possessed by someone I despise
I can't believe how your words betray my mind
That's Not Me Talking
