[Verse 1]
Sitting on the mess I made
And linen sheets tucked in
I wish it would start pouring rain
For a reason, I'm staying in
[Pre-Chorus]
Purple, my knee is turning purple
How long has the dresser been by the bed?
Circle, outside your inner circle
It's all been backwards ever since
[Chorus]
It's something I couldn't tell you
Even though you asked for truth
It's really not about you
I just had to try it even if I don't survive it
It's never been about you
[Verse 2]
Left shoe is on my right
And I'm waking up with headaches
And I haven't been able to write
And I blame it on the heartbreak
[Pre-Chorus]
Purple, the sky is pink and purple
But I can't fall asleep quite yet
Circles, my questions round like circles
And I miss our innocence
[Chorus]
It's something I couldn't tell you
Even though you asked for truth
It's really not about you
I just had to try it even if I don't survive it
It's never been about you
[Post-Chorus]
(It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not about you)
(It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not about you)
[Outro]
I just had to try it even if I don't survive it
It's never been about you
(It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not about you)
(It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not about you)

“It’s Not About You” is a song I wrote about people taking the things you’re going through personally. I experienced this heavily when I was first coming out and receiving reactions that solely centered on the other person focusing on how my identity was going to affect their life. It’s frustrating...
