[Verse 1]
I wasn't thinkin' when I turned and said to you
"The love I give is sincere and true"
Oh, I wasn't myself when I led you through the door
The world was flat, and I was lyin' on the floor
Oh, I feel most human when I'm in my own head
And I feel most steady when my thoughts aren't fed by you
[Chorus]
Why do you act like you know me so well
When I don't even know myself?
Why do you act like you know me so well
When you've barely even touched the shell?
When you've barely even touched the shell?
[Verse 2]
Your words hit me like a feather, then sink like a stone
And I pushed you away with silence alone
I'm pushing you away with silence alone
Because I have never learned how to speak for myself
And I never will learn to envy that in you
[Chorus]
Why do you act like you know me so well
When I don't even know myself?
Why do you act like you know me so well

When you've barely even touched the shell?
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well?
(When I don't even know myself?)
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well?
(When you've barely even touched the shell?)
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well
When you don't even know yourself?
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well
When you've barely even touched the shell?

Holly Macve releases Joni Mitchell's 'River' cover after her third album 'Wonderland'.
As she drops her Really Very Good new album 'Wonderland', Holly Macve is embracing "hopes, dreams, and aspirations" - with a little help from an iconic friend along the way.
"I think that 'Wonderland' is meant to represent the next chapter in my life," she says.
Stepping out of the shadows of comfort and into the blazing limelight, 'Not The Girl' is the poetic sound of liberation.
