"It's Not Me (It's You)" lyrics

"It's Not Me (It's You)"

Can I tell you a secret
I've been trying for a while but I don't feel it no more
Can I be all out of faith and still be a believer?
I wanna be a believer

All I want is a reason
Just one, it doesn't need to be major
Something to make me feel like our time isn't wasted
'Cause I don't need that shit, no I don't need that shit

No it ain't me
There's something wrong with you
And I don't wanna talk about it
No it's done
It's been real but it ain't been real fun
So long I'm long gone

I thought you were different
That you were nothing like the idiots always around us
That you had a sane head on your shoulders
Now they're all saying "I told ya"

And we're at a cross road
I wish this could be more than a once was
That you didn't need to feed off problems
'Cause I don't need that shit, no I don't need that shit

No it ain't me
There's something wrong with you
And I don't wanna talk about it
No it's done
It's been real but it ain't been real fun
So long I'm long gone

Yeah, I hate to say it, I hate to say it
But someone really needs to
We both saw this coming
There's no sense in keeping on with keeping on, I'm moving on

All I need is a reason
Just one fucking reason
All I need is a reason (So long I'm long gone)
Just one fucking reason
All I need is a reason (So long I'm long gone)
Just one fucking reason

It ain't me
There's something wrong with you
And I don't wanna talk about it
No it's done
It's been real but it ain't been real fun
So long I'm long gone

Yeah, I hate to say it, I hate to say it
But someone really needs to
We both saw this coming
There's no sense in keeping on with keeping on, I'm moving on

"We've weathered the storm and come out the other end of serious drug addiction and alcoholism. With that we've realised how much time we have wasted being angry at ourselves or at other people or what people think of us. When you get to this point in life, you realise that all that matters is your happiness and the happiness of the people around you. That's where this confidence has come from with songs like this." - Ben Bruce.
