Not Called Jinx - The Deal

i made a list of things to say
i will serve, i won't obey
this is honest, this is real
on my own terms, that's the deal
ask a blind man what he sees,
an atheist what he believes
this is freedom, this is me
and these are my terms, that's the deal
ooh that's the deal

no one knows me like i do
so how can you know if it's true?
as if you ever cared before
never touched my soul, my heart, my core

i got my thoughts all sorted out
now the listening is your part
this is personality
on my own, eventually
sick of following the group
mirror every single move
this won't be what's left on me cause
these are my terms, my new deal
ooh that's the deal

so listen closely
maybe it's a little unexpected
but i'm sure that i won't regret it
unless we want to need to know (you need to know)
all i want is to be myself and
never try to be someone else
staying true to myself and my friends
i always stay the same
i don't know what you're looking for
why don't you just let it go?
believe me, deceive me
i don't care at all
