[Verse] Well it started as an illusion An adolescent institution A war against the heart's evolution And I am not the solution And I know it's all your confusion So you can take your persecution [Pre-Chorus] I swear that I meant what I said You say I'm messing with your head I didn't mean to leave you For dead [Chorus] It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want [Verse] A visionary catastrophe And we were just a hyperbole A tragedy in the first degree A lesion on my psyche Well the stress is in my veins And the pain It still remains I'm sorry Babe But things won't change Well I didn't mean to lead you astray [Chorus] It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want [Bridge] Oh [Pre-Chorus] It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want [Chorus] It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want It's not what I thought I'm not what you want [Outro] Well it started as an illusion An adolescent institution A war against the heart's evolution And I am not the solution And I know it's all your confusion So you can take your persecution
