It's Not Me It's You

Track

Appears on: Awake
Lyrics:

V1
Let’s get the story straight
You were a poison
You flooded through my veins
You left me broken
You tried to make me think
That the blame was all on me
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you

Chorus
It's not me it’s you
Always has been you
All the lies and stupid things you say and do
It’s you
It’s not me it's you
All the lies and pain you put me through
I know that it’s not me it’s you

You
You
It’s not me it’s you, you

V2
So here we go again
The same fight we're always in
I don't care so why pretend
Wake me when your lecture ends
You tried to make me small
Make me fall and it’s all your fault
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it’s not me it’s you

Bridge
Let’s get the story straight
You were a poison
Flooding through my veins
Driving me insane
And now you're gone away
I'm no longer choking
From the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you

Who is this song addressed to? I can't figure out for sure! If it's written to a person who was abusive, or someone who we feel has hurt us it describes what happens in our hearts when we are hurt, and let it become so deeply rooted in our hearts that it turns into bitterness. Pointing fingers doesn't change the fact that we were hurt. The only answer is to let Jesus be our healer, and help us to forgive those who hurt us! That's what gives us freedom to truly live again!
