about

Perhaps one of the best songs I've ever written. A woman I was dating kept telling me how much I reminded her of her ex. She kept seeing this guy through my actions. It grew a bit wearying.

lyrics

You know that there's a lot of hurt inside
You just don't want to deal with
So you project it all on me
Because I'm the one you're here with
And you equate the things I do
With those you've known before
I'm waiting to make that mistake
That will push me out the door

But I am not like them
And this is not about me
It's the things you carry inside
You don't let others see
And logically I know this
And I know you'll never see
This has to do with you
This is not about me

You know you can't live your life
Always pushing people aside
When they no longer feel comfortable
And they touch your hurt inside
Those from your past are gone
But they still live with you today
Even though you never see them
They never go away
