It's Not About You

I guess it's about someone who really likes his friend, and he can't take it any longer to have her flirting with him though she doesn't want him and she knows that he has feelings for her and now he told her how he felt, and that he wants her to stop playing him, they've got nothing left to say

Yeah I think that's it. I love this song. The rhythm and the backing vocals, etc.

Although it sounds like it's his girlfriend sometimes 'living with you' could mean literally. Like he loves her, but she's playing him hot and cold basically. But Oelie's version makes more sense.

:)

Love this song.

i think the line 'moving out of your flat' sugests that its his girlfriend who feels she needs some time and space.

she's saying to him; 'She said it's not about you it's not about you, it's me (2x)

And sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad but living with you well it's driving me mad and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad but living with you well it's becoming a drag'

He tries to make her stay saying; 'I don't know how to love you more how to love you more how to love you more my friend'

Then finaly admits defeat saying; 'I guess we got I guess we got I guess we got nothing to say' He then goes back to trying to change her mind; 'I don't know how to love you more how to love you more how to love you more my friend' but she doesn't change her mind and leaves him.

good song, very sincere

i really like this song, they always played it when i was at work and i never knew what it was. It bugged me because it's so good :)

I absolutley love this song. It's sort of a sad but meaningful song but at the same time it has a sort of upbeat tune if you know what I mean.

I agree that the song is about unrequited love. It's about a girl who knows that this man loves her but she strings him along knowing deep down that she doesn't have any feelings for him at all. So when she tries to break up with him she uses the typical excuse 'it's not about you, it's not about you, it's me'.

He tries to make himself feel better throughout the song by trying to convince himself that she was a difficult person to love, hence, 'I guess we've got nothing to say'/'I don't know how to love you more' but realises at the end that he cannot live with out her 'oh don't you leave me here alone'.

From my own experience, i can really relate to this song. I think its about a guy who is so in love with this girl and she knows it, but shes just playing with him.

Then, when he comes to ask her if she'll go out with him, she rejects him telling him no, and when he asks why, she says (as girls have told me on more than one occasion) "its not about you, its me" so as not to hurt him, yet thos just frustrates him more.

then as he says "dont you go home, dont you leave me on my own" he is just so upset and distraught and he knows its never goin to happen.

This Song relates to a situation I am in so well it's kindda scarey... Especially when you consider these lines:

She's a beautiful smile she's a gleam in your eye dresses like a princess playing games in your mind ... runs a hand through her hair playing so hard to get 'cause she knows that you care

I don't know how to love you more how to love you more how to love you more my friend

Over 6 years her and I have danced around eachother and when never ever seem to fall into eachother arms. The only difference between my situation and this song is that she does actually have feelings. Curse circumstances.

On the song front/ Very good song. Never heard anything else by them though. Ironicly I saw this song play on a music channel while I was at her place.

My friends sister-in-law dated Roy, the singer, when she was younger and said to my friend she could of sworn she said 'It's not about you, it's me' when she broke up with him due to her friends disagreeing with her choice of boyfriend when she was young.
