Not About Us Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A little piece of something falling gently down, down, down
No one understands you like I do
I'd rather be beside you, everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now, show me what you think of it

[Chorus]
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons that we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate, it's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems but we're not the only ones
It's not about you it's not about me
It's not about anger, it's more about the loneliness we feel

[Verse 2]
How can I begin to ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken, there's nothing left now
Just a little piece of something falling gently down, down, down
No one understands you, no, no, like I do, there's nothing left now

[Chorus]
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons that we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate, it's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems but we're not the only ones
It's not about you it's not about me
It's not about anger, it's more about the loneliness we feel
[Outro]
It's not about us
It's not about hate
It's more about the loneliness we feel
Can you feel it
It's not about anger
It's not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones, we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about reasons, it's not about hate...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
