I Am Not Your Puzzle to Solve

 

You ask me questions then turn away
Don’t even listen to what I say
So why’d you ask me anyway
If you don’t care what I say
You don’t care what I say

So suspicious, so circumspect
Disregard my intellect
You wanna know me, be direct
And have a little respect
Just a little respect

‘Cause I am not I am not I am not
I am not I am not I am not
I am not your puzzle to solve

You made assumptions from the start
Never listened to your heart
You wanna plot me on a chart
And try to pick me apart
Don’t you pick me apart

I am not I am not I am not
I am not I am not I am not
I am not your puzzle to solve

And all this time I’ve loved you all the same
I guess I’ve only got myself to blame

I am not I am not I am not
I am not I am not I am not
I am not your puzzle to solve

You stared at me with such intent
And still I wonder what it meant
Makes me feel funny when you do
‘Cause you never follow through
No, you’ll never follow through
Not you

But you are not my puzzle to solve
