Lyrics

RULES

Don't wanna hear your voice
Think that you know me but you're all wrong
Got it all wrong
Thought you might change my mind
Thought that you had me but you're all wrong
Got it all wrong

You're watching all the time
Think you're closer, but you're not
Don't try looking in, please don't force me to lie
Might think I'm being cruel
Not playing by your rules
There's nothing I can say, not gonna change my mind
(Change my mind)

I learnt to play by my own rules
You'll only see what I let you
What I let you
What I let you
I learnt to play by my own rules
You'll only see what I let you
What I let you
What I let you

Still not safe this time
You can keep praying
But you're still wrong
Got me all wrong
In the end you'll lose your mind
Can't understand things
Outta this world
I'm outta your world

You're watching all the time
Think you're closer but you're not
Don't try looking in, please don't force me to lie
Might think I'm being cruel
Not playing by your rules
There's nothing I can say, not gonna change my mind
(Change my mind)

I learnt to play by my own rules
You'll only see what I let you
What I let you
What I let you
I learnt to play by my own rules
You'll only see what I let you
What I let you
What I let you

(Rules) not playing by your (rules)
Not playing by your (rules)
Not playing by your rules
(Rules) not playing by your (rules)
Not playing by your (rules)
Not gonna change my mind
(Change my mind)

I learnt to play by my own rules
You'll only see what I let you
What I let you
What I let you
Yeah, I learnt to play by my own rules
You'll only see what I let you
What I let you
What I let you

Think that you know me, but you are wrong
Got it all wrong
Got it all wrong
Thought that you had me, but you are wrong
Got it all wrong
Got it all wrong
