It's Not Me It's You
Navigating Love's Maze: It's Not Me, It's You
Lyrics
Why do we want the things that we can't have
Reflecting on the desire for unattainable things.
When the world as at my feet, and the sky was in my hands
Despite having success, feeling unfulfilled without a specific person.
Would have traded it all to get inside your head
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice everything to understand someone.
Now I see, it's not on me, to try to understand
Realizing it's not the speaker's responsibility to fully comprehend the other person.
I know better, cus I've been here before
Having prior experience in a similar situation, implying lessons learned.
I don't wanna spend my time, telling you what's wrong or right
Choosing not to dwell on right or wrong in the relationship.
Now I know better, so since we're here again
Despite past knowledge, finding oneself in a similar situation again.
I'd rather leave it out let's walk away instead
Opting to avoid conflict and walk away from the relationship.
It's not me it's you
Attributing issues in the relationship to the other person.
Caught in another excuse
Feeling trapped in repeated justifications or excuses.
You, must have got me confused
Suggesting the other person misunderstands the speaker's feelings.
I already knew
Claiming prior awareness of the relationship's challenges.
It's not me it's you
Reiterating that the problems lie with the other person.
Caught in another excuse
Continuing to feel trapped in justifications or excuses.
You, must have got me confused
Reiterating the misunderstanding of the speaker's feelings.
I already knew
Emphasizing prior awareness of the relationship's challenges.
Tried to change, what I couldn't control
Attempting to change aspects beyond one's control in the relationship.
To figure out, what you were about, was the mission and the goal, but
Describing the mission and goal of understanding the other person.
Ever since, your hands came off the wheel
Realizing personal agency and control over emotions.
I realised, I decide, the way I wanna feel
Acknowledging the speaker's power to decide how they want to feel.
I know better, cus I've been here before
Recalling past experiences to make informed decisions in the present.
I don't wanna spend my time, telling you what's wrong or right
Avoiding the repetition of discussing right or wrong in the relationship.
Now I know better, so since we're here again
Learning from previous experiences but finding oneself in a similar situation.
I'd rather leave it out let's walk away instead
Choosing to walk away instead of engaging in conflict.
It's not me it's you
Reiterating that the issues are attributed to the other person.
Caught in another excuse
Feeling trapped in repeated justifications or excuses.
You, must have got me confused
Expressing the belief that the other person is misunderstanding.
I already knew
Asserting prior awareness of the challenges in the relationship.
It's not me it's you
Emphasizing that the issues are not the speaker's responsibility.
Caught in another excuse
Continuing to feel trapped in justifications or excuses.
You, must have got me confused
Reiterating the belief that the other person misunderstands.
I already knew
Affirming prior awareness of the challenges in the relationship.
It's not me it's you
Stating that the issues are attributed to the other person.
Caught in another excuse
Feeling trapped in repeated justifications or excuses.
You, must have got me confused
Expressing the belief that the other person is misunderstanding.
I already knew
Affirming prior awareness of the challenges in the relationship.
