Marissa, I won’t follow you around no more
To bring me down like you’ve done before.
Marissa, you can’t tell me where you’ve been before.
You can’t ignore what’s been washed ashore.

You’ve got someone on your back
There’s always gonna be someone on the attack.
You can’t tell me that you don’t know who I am by now.
Who I am by now, who I am by now…

Marissa, what we had cannot be said in words.
I threw out your judgment when I threw out your letters.
Marissa, things you say do not affect me now,
I don’t need your steroids to feel any better.

You never told me what I lacked
You’re forever gonna hate me for some random fact.
Don’t even try to claim to me you don’t know who I am by now.
Who I am by now, who I am by now.

(Instrumental)

Your sister, she don’t look at me the way you do.
She caresses her hair that flows behind her ear.
Marissa, wish you could have done the same for me?
The guy you see, he could have been me.

Now I’m standing at your door
You’re never gonna be the one I ring the bell for.
Let me tell you once more, if you don’t know who I am by now, Who I am by now, who I am by now…
