Version of Me - Melanie C

This is not your playground

I’m not here for you to shoot me down

Preying on my weakness

Even when you’re not around

Nothing lasts forever

But you’re wrapped around my DNA

And I’m hiding in the corner as the wounded kid I was

Like it was yesterday

Like nothing’s changed

All that you’ve done you see

Ever so quietly

Comes creeping back up on me

Haunting me, goading me

Why can’t you let go of me?

I don’t have the patience anymore

That’s not me

I won’t be the version of me

The one you think you’re comfortable with

The one you think you had your fun with

If I can’t trust myself

Why should I trust anyone else?

All that you’ve done you see

Ever so quietly

Keeps creeping back up on me

Haunting me, goading me

Why can’t you let go of me?

I don’t have the patience anymore

That’s not me

I won’t be the version of me

The one you think you’re comfortable with

The one you think you had your fun with

That’s not me

That’s not me

I won’t be the version of me

The one you think you’re comfortable with

The one you think you had your fun with

If I can’t trust myself

Why should I trust anyone else?
