Never mind the face you put on
In front of me
Never mind the pain
That you've put me, through

And every little thing you say
And every little thing you do
't Makes me doubt all of this
What you waited for?

[Chorus]
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
In This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Forget about this trip that you've been on
Or so it seems
Never mind the lies that you told my tears

And every little thing you said
And every little thing you did
't Made me doubt all of this
Is that what you waited for?

[Chorus]

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Yeah

Oh, was meant for me, yeah hey yeah hey
Oh, It was meant for me
Oh No Oh

[Chorus]

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

(I don't know how I can face this pain)
Oh, was meant for me!
(I can't live inside so you can't see)
Yeah, it was meant for me!
Oh, no
(I don't think I can go on like this,
Cause it's not me)

    General Comment:To me this song is about two people that had a relationship (Doesn't have to be romantic) And the other person was changing giving up a life, trying to make the other one change themselves.
    The only reason I think this is because I found it at the exact moment when my best friend walked out of my life.

    General Comment:I think this song is pretty much related to his near death experience in his car accident with his wife.

    General Comment:i think its about a break up
    where the guy is so hurt that its changing who he is and hes trying to fight it cuz its not who he is

    and i think hes kinda blaming the girl for it because shes the one who hurt him...and shes the one changing him


    at least thats what i think

    General Comment:agree with xx 3DD Fan.
    you love this person and almost give up your own identity for her, but then you come to realize that this isn't who you are and you don't want to be changed into somebody else. yet you are afraid of giving up the relationship althou you fear it's coming to an end.

    that was my first favorite song from seventeen days. (until i got to love all of them equally)

    General Comment:It's about a guy who is being changed into someone he's not. Someone is trying to change him but he doesn't want to change because it's not who he is.

    General Comment:I think this song is about a guy who gets broken up with, and wants the girl to be happy, so he doesn't show her that he's hurting inside, but he ends up hurting so much that he just can't hide it anymore. And these lines were missing at the very end, which I think is the best part of the song:

    I don't know how I can face this pain
    I'll keep it inside so you can't see
    I don't think I can go on this way, 'cause it's not me

    General Comment:Try these out:

    Nevermind the face that you put on
    In front of me
    And nevermind the pain
    You've put me ..through

    Cause every little thing you say
    And every little thing you do
    It makes me doubt all of this

    What are you waiting for?

    [Chorus:]
    Look what you did
    Is this who you wanted me to be?
    Well it's not me

    Look what you did
    Is this how you wanted it to be?
    This life you gave away
    Was meant for me

    Forget the trip that you've been on
    Or so it seems
    Nevermind the lies that you told, my tears

    Cause every little thing you said
    And every little thing you did
    You made me doubt all of this

    Is that what your waiting for?

    [Chorus:]
    Look what you did
    Is this who you wanted me to be?
    Well it's not me

    Look what you did
    Is this how you wanted it to be?
    This life you gave away
    Was meant for me
    Was meant for me
    Was meant for me
    Yeah, Yeahhhhhh

    Look what you did
    Is this who you wanted me to be?
    Well it's not me

    General Comment:There are some minor errors in this, including the omission of a line or two. Not trying to knock the person or anything like that. Anyway, I think it's about someone finally summoning up enough courage to say enough is enough and confront the person that has been tormenting them for years. I think this CD in general has been a great leap lyrically at least for 3DD. I'm not saying that the other CD's are bad, far from it actually. If you don't have the CD yet, it is well worth the buy.
