about

Lauren Bird’s new single I’m Not is released on 8th March 2018, International Women’s Day. This is the first new song since last year’s successfully crowdfunded debut album The Inbetween.

lyrics

You wake up bored with your life,
You always think you're right,
But what you're scared to know,
Is one day I will go.

'Cause you see everything through only your eyes,
Control everyone with your little lies.

But i'm not a dice to throw,
And i'm not an ace to play,
I'm not yours to own,
I'm not the one that got away,
I'm not a sounding board,
And i'm not a hand to hold,
'Cause I am a human being,
So don't be so cold.

And when there's nobody left,
You won't take a backwards step,
But what you need to do,
Is analyse what i've been through.

'Cause you seem convinced that everything's fine,
But now I know that i've wasted my time.

'Cause i'm not a dice to throw,
And i'm not an ace to play,
I'm not yours to own,
I'm not the one that got away,
I'm not a sounding board,
And i'm not a hand to hold,
'Cause I am a human being,
So don't be so cold.

You told me that you changed,
You lied then and you’ve lied again,
And though you’re a part of me,
It’s the part that makes me feel,
Like I can’t do anything,
And that I’m worth nothing,
I don’t know how you can’t see,
Everything that you’ve done to me.

But you’ve taught me…

That i'm not a dice to throw,
And i'm not an ace to play,
I'm not yours to own,
I'm not the one that got away,
I'm not a sounding board,
And i'm not a hand to hold,
'Cause I am a human being,
So don't be so cold.
