Lyrics Not What I Meant - Dodie, Lewis Watson

Not What I Meant

Let’s find out just how far I’ll go
To look like someone you should know
Maybe I’d sound a little better
If my features were more sweet
Your mind’s already been made up
You saw my number and my number wasn’t good enough
I’ll write a little better
If I’m willing to compete
I’ll do it if I have to
Hoping for an in-between
Not what I meant when I said that I…
I wanted to be seen
How am I meant to stay on track
When each hand I shake will pull me back?
Oh, I’ll work a little harder
But walk a little less
And in the end will I feel proud
That I grit my teeth, and followed the damn crowd?
Will I have grown a little empire
Or made a fucking mess?
I’ll do it if I have to
Hoping for an in-between
Not what I meant when I said that I…
I wanted to be seen
I’ll do it if I have to
(I'll keep it to myself)
Hoping for an in-between
(Oh, I must have seen that somewhere)
Not what I meant when I said that
I wanted to be seen
