expect me to believe that i'm any different
when I know you say the same things
to all of these women
I know you use the same eyes to look right into them
I know you used the same arms to guide them through the room
and
i know i'm not a queen
but I know what I am
and trust me girl
i'm not some flag waving fan
i'm not a woman or a man
I know exactly where i stand
I hear how you speak
& I see your hands where they land
like i'm a map
& you've been everywhere but Maine
but won't Maine be the same as LA or as Spain?
if all you do is take a train and explain with different names
like this love will be different
when you don't feel the same
it's insane and it pains me
to believe what you say
when every time that we speak
you have long stories to explain
i'm not ashamed to take blame
for the confusion and i'll claim it
but don't act like i am yours
when you're wrapped up in my blankets
