You
Sometimes I'm not quite myself
Often I get to feeling blue
I don't know how to explain it
But it has nothing to do with you
When I don't feel like cooking or cleaning
Even though there's so much to do
I can't quite put it into words
It has nothing to do with you
When I want to sleep the day away
And I'm beginning to resemble an old shrew
I try to tell you, but you don't understand
It has nothing to do with you
When I'm going through my mood swings
For what reasons, I have no clue
I warned you before, but you shrugged it off
But it has nothing to do with you
So when you get tired of my nuttiness
You knew what you were getting into
But when you treat me like I'm a child
It's beginning to be about you
When we fight more often than we laugh
And happy times are so very few
It's time I start to come to terms
It has everything to do with you
If I didn't have you giving me hell
I could've easier made it through
But now I have to face the truth
It has everything to do with you
When you get mad at me for such little things
And disagreeing with you seems taboo
I have to be honest with you here
That has everything to do with you
When we just can't seem to communicate
And we've done things we can't undo
We have to admit the ugly truth
Our relationship is beyond rescue
Our ways of thinking are so opposite
Our love we can't seem to renew
It's time to go our separate ways
It's something that's long overdue
It's time to head back to square one
Wipe the slate clean and start anew
I know it hurts to say good-bye
But remember that I'm hurting too
Familiarity is what keeps us together
So to ourselves we have to be true
What we had was good while it lasted
But it's over between me and you
It's been a long time coming
We both already knew
But as I'm walking out the door
I still wish the best for you
