Not All Me Lyrics
I am the perfect target screen
For your blindly fueled rage
I bare the brunt of your long buried pain
I don't mind helping you out
But I want you to remember my name
It's not all my fault
I need remind you, but I won't take it all on
I see the buttons I engage
With my dignity in place
I'm all too happy to switch
It's not all my fault
I need remind you, but I won't take it all on
Find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I stay to my limit
And only take on what is mine to
I'm here to help mend and rescind
All I trigger unknowingly
A job I hold in high esteem
It's not all my fault
I need remind you, but I won't take it all on
It's not all my fault
I need remind you, but I won't take it all on
I'll only take some of it
This song is great, like many of her other songs. To me this song is about someone who is in a realtionship with another. One person has been hurt in the past by one or many other people, and ina way blames thier current lover for what happened to him/her. So thier lover is telling them i will help you but you cant keep blaming me...great song...
coudnt have said it better myself.
suha has it bang on.
Couple of mistakes....Should be "I wear their face on top of my face", "I may remind you", "I'm all to happy to assuage", and "I'm here to help mend and reseam".
This song is about being with a person who still has pain from the past...whether that pain be from past relationships, parents, abandonment, abuse, etc. Basically, letting them know 'Hey, I understand you have pain. I'm here for you and not against you. I can take some of the crap you do because of it, but I have a limit. And I'm not to blame for that past pain."
