"Who You Say You Are" lyrics

"Who You Say You Are"

For some time now
Been alright on my own
Given the options
I'd rather be alone

Then you came along
And turned it upside down
And now I need to know
Just what it is I found

Are you who you say you are?
Someone I'll know for long
Or someone who doesn't deserve a song?

Charming accents
Mask ugly things
There's not a lot I know about
What you stand to bring

And maybe it's all okay
And maybe I'm being unfair
But I learned the hard way
To be prepared

Are you who I think you are?
Someone I'll know for long
Or someone who doesn't deserve a song?
