About You Lyrics

You love someone but think that they don't love you

They love you but think you don't love them too

Back and forth and round and round

You ask for love they let you down

But they feel about as loved by you

As you do by them

And the cycle starts again

Cuz it's not about them

It's about you

It's the cycle you can't get past

Cuz you dunno how to

You both blame each other

Your fathers and mothers

And the feeling's real but it ain't new

Cuz you want it be about them

But it's about you

You cheat to try to keep your beating heart alive

But the hole you try to fill is still there on the other side

You swear that you won't do it again

But you do it again and again and then

You hate them because you think it's all their fault

But it's projection, yeah that's all

Cuz it's not about them

It's about you

It's the cycle you can't get past

Cuz you dunno how to

You both blame each other

Your fathers and mothers

And the feeling's real but it ain't new

Cuz you want it be about them

But it's about you

You spend 12 years trying to clean the mess

But the more that you do, they seem to love you less

You change for them but really you change for you

And when they leave, all that you can do

Is hope they find the same peace you got to

Cuz it's not about them

It's about you

It's the cycle you can't get past

Cuz you dunno how to

You both blame each other

Your fathers and mothers

And the feeling's real but it ain't new

Cuz you want it be about them

But it's about you
