It's not like you mean
I've been listening to a (quite old) song lately, and its chorus begins with:
"It's not like you to say sorry, (...)
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking"
And I can't figure out what the first sentence means.
I believe it's something like "Non sei tu a doverti scusare", because of the meaning of the song (A love story has ended; the protagonist thinks that he was too fragile, so it's his fault if the story has ended), but I'd like to understand what type of construction has been used.
It's not like you to say - It's not something that you would usually say....in terms of this song...This person doesn't usually apologize, it is not
part of her/his character to "say sorry"
