Lyrics[]
Being 'round you is driving me crazy Watching you run is making me lazy You're trying to buy a place in my head Telling me lines I've already read Speaking my name to try to confuse me Say it again you're starting to lose me That's alright, I'm okay It happens every single day It's all the same But I'm not blind It's all about you Not me It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be There's not enough time To live And all that you're expecting me to give It's all about you Not Me It's all about you Not Me You're building my prison brick by brick Eating your words is making me sick You get what you want 'cause nothing is sacred You're reading my mind and leaving me naked You say I gotta give before I receive it One of these days I'll believe it It's all about you Not me It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be There's not enough time To live And all that you're expecting me to give It's all about you Not Me It's all about you Not Me That's alright, I'm okay It happens every single day It's all the same But I'm not blind It's all about you Not me It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be There's not enough time To live And all that you're expecting me to give It's all about you Not Me It's all about you Not Me It's all about you Not Me
