This Is Not About Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not about me
I can see you taking it personally
I see you put your pride aside
I'll wait a minute while you try to compensate
Yeah, this is not about me
I see you thinking I'm the missing piece
To the puzzle that you think is your life
I'll wait a minute while you try to come for mine
[Pre-Chorus]
All this distance treated all bad
And I've been covered second
Don't want to live a lie
The reason, battered and it don't matter
Don't deny I've said too much, don't ask me why
[Chorus]
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
[Verse 2]
Mmm, this is not about me
Or the way that you could never play it cool
I can see you wanted me to say
That me walking away was a big mistake
No, this is not about me
I see you drinking 'til you can't drive home
Trying to get up in my bed
You should be thinking of a way of moving on instead
[Pre-Chorus]
All this distance treated all bad
And I've been covered second
Don't want to live a lie
The reason, battered and it don't matter
Don't deny I've said too much, don't ask me why
[Chorus]
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about
[Bridge]
What you told me
It never mattered, I never needed it
(This is not about)
That you were tongue-tied
And what you sold me, I never bought it
(This is not about)
How I found out that you were weak
And you never stood up
(This is not about)
All the times I tried to prove to you
This is not about us
[Chorus]
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us (Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya)
Mmm, this is not about us
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
