This Is About Me

Don't look at me like that
It's not as easy as you think
You take my happiness for a fact
When I feel like I could sink

This is not what I had planned
But there's no other way
I didn't mean to make you mad
And, trust me, I'd rather stay

Bridge
Make an effort to understand
To see things from where I stand
Don't see an end, see a start
I'm leaving town but I leave you my heart

Chorus
It's not about you
Something you did
Or didn't do
It's not about this place
There's nothing about it
I can't embrace
It's about being free
And trying to find the peace I need
This is about me

Don't think that I forsake
Everything you did for me
You always give and never take
You made me who I'm meant to be

Please don't hate me now
That I need you more than ever
If you just stand by me, somehow
I promise we'll make it through, together

Bridge

Chorus
