What I Mean

I always try To say the right thing But it's always wrong and it's always jumbled And it's not what I mean Don't hear my words, don't hear my screams Cause it's always wrong and it's always different And it's not what it seems Not what it seems Checked out and broken down Glued always to a screen I only seem to drown In all the layers in-between Oh nothing's really real Realized at seventeen They say we've got a good deal A little cog in your machine That's not what I mean Should I just lie Can't say what I've seen 'Cause it's always wrong and it's always selfish And it's not what I mean I always fight when I should flee 'Cause you're always right and you're always amazing And it's not what it seems Not what it seems I know where to go when you wanna be alone Baby always said I'll never make it on my own So you'll take good care of me, so excited to be free He said, that's not what I mean, baby that's not what I mean That's not what I mean Checked out and broken down Glued always to a screen I only seem to drown In all the layers in between Oh nothing's really real Realized at seventeen They say we've got a good deal A little cog in your machine That's not what I mean
