[Verse 1] I tore a seam On your favourite dream The one where you had built up all of your trust And then it started to rust on your self-esteem [Chorus] Painting a tower of gold [Verse 2] An arrow shot How were you taught? How could I ask of you To make fact out of fiction and feed this addiction of mine Clear your head And fill it with the bad thoughts that are Under your bed I cut out the strings that held up my heart I cheated on every test I tore them all apart You should know that these songbirds don't dare sing my songs Yeah, you were wrong about me [Chorus] Painting a tower of gold And I don't know what you thought you were told Some things never get old I am not who you thought I was No, I'm not who you thought I was No, I'm not who you thought I was No, I'm not who you thought I was Clear your head Forget all my songs because I'm not who you thought I was No, I'm not who you thought I was [Outro] Crows will outsmart the doves when you fly down from up above Songbirds won't dare sing my song cause you were wrong about me
