This Is Not About Us - BANKS

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

No, this is not about me

I see you thinking I’m a missing piece

To the puzzle that you use for life

I’ll wait a minute while you try to come for mine

All this distance

Treated all bad

And I’ve been covered second

Don’t want to live a lie

Beaten, battered

And it don’t matter

Don’t deny I’ve said too much

Don’t ask me why

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm

This is not about me

Or the way that you could never play it cool

I could see you wanting me to say

That me walking away was a big mistake

No, this is not about me

I see you clinging to your pinch of hope

Trying to get up in my bed

You should be thinking of a way of moving on instead

All this distance

Treated all bad

And I’ve been covered second

Don’t want to live a lie

Beaten, battered

And it don’t matter

Don’t deny I’ve said too much

Don’t ask me why

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about

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 vacant

You never stood up

(This is not about)

All the times I tried to prove to you

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Mmm, this is not about us

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
