It's All About You

I should’ve seen it coming, I should’ve had a clue

How conversations convolute and curve right back to you

I face your disaffection when I’ve got something to say

Distance and then disconnection when you turn away

And it’s all about you, no matter what you say

It’s only all about you, it’s always been this way

Blindsided by your disregard, finally I can see

How it’s all about you and I’m setting myself free

Words you choose so charming disguise their treachery

Shields release and I disarm as if you cared for me

You masquerade as if you’re there, as if your aim is true

The sad truth is you only care for how I care for you

And it’s all about you, no matter what you say

It’s only all about you, you treating me this way

Blindsided by your disregard, finally I can see

How it’s all about you and I’m setting myself free

My heart’s been imprisoned in a lost and barren land

Blurring my vision, I just couldn’t understand

These stone hard walls and bars of steel so cold beneath my hands

It has been all about you getting what you can

I’m busting out just in time, I’ll no longer be

Reaching out for you blind, now there’s light enough to see

What is right here in my hands, I hold the jailers’ key

It has been all about you, and I’m getting myself free

Vulnerable and unaware, I’ve been foolish through and through

The sad truth is you only care for how I care for you

And it’s all about you, no matter what you say

It’s only all about you, you treating me this way

I’m done with all your disregard, finally I see

How it’s always been about you and I’m setting myself free

How it’s all about you and I’m setting myself free
