On “idontwannabeyouanymore,” Billie Eilish faces her insecurities, addressing her lack of self-confidence and self-deprecating emotions. Billie explained that the meaning of this song is directly opposite to the meaning of her other popular song, “COPYCAT.” “COPYCAT” is basically about someone doing fucking everything you do. The idea of “idontwannabeyouanymore” was sort of like, exactly the opposite. You know, “COPYCAT” is like “you wanna be me so bad, I’m the shit” but really, no I’m not....

idontwannabeyouanymore lyrics

Don't be that way
Fall apart twice a day
I just wish you could feel what you say
Show, never tell
But I know you too well
Kinda mood that you wish you could sell
If teardrops could be bottled
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Told, "A tight dress is what makes you a whore"
If "I love you" was a promise
Would you break it, if you're honest?
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
I don't wanna be you
Anymore
Hand
Hands getting cold
Losing feeling is getting old
Was I made from a broken mold?
Hurt, I can't shake
We've made every mistake
Only you know the way that I break, uh
If teardrops could be bottled
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Told, "A tight dress is what makes you a whore"
If "I love you" was a promise
Would you break it, if you're honest?
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
I, I don't wanna be you
I don't wanna be you
I don't wanna be you
Anymore
