Lyric Analysis #2

Song: 'It's Not Me'
Artist: Shiloh

                      Recently my 'best friend' and I got in a fight which ended our friendship. She said that I had 'Changed' (Choke on the words that you want me to say. Smile as the honesty fades away. Say the right words, be the good girl. Play along, is that what you want? Honestly it's not me, it's not me, it's not me. Can't you see what you want me to be, what you want me to be. It's just not me). I've told her time and time again that I'm not changing myself for anyone. No matter if they're someone I like, my friends, or my family. Now if it was a case where I was hurting myself then I'd try to change.
                       But that's not the case. I'm finding new things that I like, and that's too hard for her. So she wanted me to become the person she met in 4th grade, four years ago (Honestly it's not me, it's not me, it's not me. Can't you see what you want me to be, what you want me to be. It's just not me). And she doesn't like how I 'Act' which she has no example for (You say that I should watch my mouth, that everything is not a joke. I'm not the kind to hold my tongue I'd rather speak my mind than...). 
                       It gets to me that she wants me to be someone I'm not. And it isn't fair that I have to be there for her 24/7 even if she isn't there for me at all. It's really showed that she isn't ready for change. Even if it's our present. The worst part of all of this is that I could tell we weren't going to be friends for much longer. It was long and slow but I've finally reached the point of no return. Now I just have to be me.
