Molly Kate Kestner’s “It’s You” is a song about finally letting an ex know exactly what the problem in their relationship was – him!
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry, but it's over
It's time for you to stop blowing up my phone
Been heavy on my shoulders
And I've been digging deep not to let it show
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You never live, you never learn
And I don't wanna make you cry
But you're hanging on and I'm letting go
I'm never gonna change my mind
[Chorus]
I know I said it was me and not you
But no, that wasn't true
And yeah I said that I'd always love you
But hey, what could I do?
I know I said it was me and not you
I guess I thought you knew
The lies I told you wouldn't save your pride
It's time to tell the truth
It's not me, it's you
[Verse 2]
I didn't need a rival
And I don't miss the green that was in your eyes
I'm more than just a title
I'm gonna spell it out so you realize, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm better than I've ever been
And I don't wanna make you cry
I'm all of me when I'm with him
You're telling me you don't know why
[Chorus]
I know I said it was me and not you
But no, that wasn't true
I know I said that I'd always love you
But hey, what could I do?
I know I said it was me and not you
I guess I thought you knew
The lies I told you wouldn't save your pride
It's time to tell the truth
It's not me, it's you
[Post-Chorus 1]
It's not me, it's you
It's not me, it's
[Bridge]
You know I don't want to break your heart
Just waiting to go through with this
There's a reason we fell apart
'Cause every part of me was hidden
And you're telling your friends I'm crazy
But baby, it takes one to know one
Of my biggest mistakes to date
I'm sorry but the truth is
You never lived, You never learned
[Outro]
I know I said it was me and not you
I guess I thought you knew
The lies I told you wouldn't save your pride
It's time to tell the truth
It's not me, it's you
It's not me, it's you
It's not me, it's you
It's not me, it's you
It's not me, it's you
It’s You was written by Adam Argyle & Andrew Jackson & Molly Kate Kestner & Nick Ruth.
It’s You was produced by Ryan Tedder.
Molly Kate Kestner released It’s You on Fri Apr 14 2017.
‘Oh, it’s not you, it’s me.’ They’re actually thinking ‘It’s not me, it’s you.’ This is why you’re breaking up.
So this song, it comes from my perspective but I still think it’s a song that universally almost any person can relate to.
I hate confrontation and so I will just try to sweeten things but...
