"WRITTEN BY A WOMAN" lyrics

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la

We talked for hours
Before it clicked for me
I built my own version
Of your personality
Read too much Austen
You're so exhausting
Feels like sleepwalking
Thought I'd get over this

But I feel sick, I know I am
Why don't I like you? You're a good man
I tried to force myself, but I can't
I just can't

It's not who you are
And I can't blame you
For who you aren't
Read you wrong
And now I'm at fault
And it's not your problem
You weren't written by a woman
And I thought you were different
Guess I was wrong
Now I'm facing what I've done
And it's not your problem
You weren't written by a woman
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
You weren't written by a woman
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
You weren't written by a–

You're like a poet
In how you reminisce
You're so pretentious
Quote Frost before we kiss
Am I your monster?
Am I your Frankenstein?
The girl you build up in your mind

And now you're sick, I know I am
Why can't you like me as I am?
Don't wanna force it
But this chapter's gotta end

It's not who you are
And I can't blame you
For who you aren't
Read you wrong
And now I'm at fault
And it's not your problem
You weren't written by a woman
And I thought you were different
Guess I was wrong
Now I'm facing what I've done
And it's not your problem
You weren't written by a woman
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
You weren't written by a woman
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la

And now we're sick, I know I am
Why don't I like you? You're a good man
I tried to force myself, but I can't
I just can't
You weren't written by a woman
