It's Not Me, It's You Lyrics
[V1]
Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
You flooded through my veins
You left me broken
You tried to make me think
That the blame was all on me
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you
[Chorus]
It's not me it's you
Always has been you
All the lies and stupid things you say and do
It's you
It's not me it's you
All the lies and pain you put me through
I know that it's not me it's you
You
You
It's not me it's you, you
[V2]
So here we go again
The same fight we're always in
I don't care so why pretend
Wake me when your lecture ends
You tried to make me small
Make me fall and it's all your fault
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you
[Bridge]
Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
Flooding through my veins
Driving me insane
And now you're gone away
I'm no longer choking
From the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you
Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
You flooded through my veins
You left me broken
You tried to make me think
That the blame was all on me
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you
It's not me it's you
Always has been you
All the lies and stupid things you say and do
It's you
It's not me it's you
All the lies and pain you put me through
I know that it's not me it's you
You
You
It's not me it's you, you
So here we go again
The same fight we're always in
I don't care so why pretend
Wake me when your lecture ends
You tried to make me small
Make me fall and it's all your fault
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you
Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
Flooding through my veins
Driving me insane
And now you're gone away
I'm no longer choking
From the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you

you know this songs has absolutly nothing to do with arguments in relationships although it may remind you of one but the meaning of this song is to break away from bad influences and how people like that can basically wreck your life
this song reminds of my ex friend she lies all the time and when she does something that hurts people she acts like she did nothing wrong.
this is how our friendship was we were always getting into fight with each other and I ended it the friendship 4 months ago.

we were friends for like 2 and half years i feel like singing this song to her to tell her what she did but she probaly won't listen to me anyways.

I actually relate to it on the same wavelength as you. My friend who I used to be so close too, and it wasnt until I realised that she treated her friends badly, I had to actually stand up to her. But every now and again unfortunately she appears to cause problems for me and some of my friends.

It reminds me of this girl i loved and she broke me heart over and over again, with all her lies and the way she would treat me. I was put through a lot of pain.
"It's not me it's you Always has been you All the lies and stupid things you say and do It's you It's not me it's you All the lies and pain you put me through I know that it's not me it's you"
exactly how i feel...
agree! and also, you can't help still loving them, no matter what..

This song is about every abuser out there. The way the get into you and make you feel like everything is your fault. The way they act and everything else. I know this song definitely applies to the abuser I am with now.

the song is basiclly realizing that you need christ and that the devil is the one that is making you hurt the devil is the father of lies after all
not every skillet song is about christ...

A lot of their songs are. Also I feel the same as this guy does. Because the devil is a poison, and it isn't us it is the devil that messes up everything. Of course we are human and with error, but the devil knows just how to trick us and make us feel horrible.

This song practically describes the relationship with my ex. But, as already mentioned, it's most likely about his father.
For me this song reminds me of my ex bf. we went out for 10 months and broke up with me on our 10th monthaversary thingy. HE said it was because he was falling out of love with me. But the real truth was that he was just scewing around with my best friend. (who no longer is my best friend). Then a month or so ago we started talking again and he blamed me! he said that i abandoned him all along and that i left him in the cold. so when he says "You tried to make me think, that the blame was all on me with the pain you put me through" sometimes when i listen to this song i feel like they're stalking me because this is exactly to the T what i went through with him.
I do believe this is another song, (along with "Older I get" and "Open wounds") about Johns bad relationship with his father.
Kick-ass song though, this new albums AMAZING!!!!
i don't think this has anything to do with his father. i think John is talking about satan

please no swearing, "Let no unwholesome talk come from your mouth" and all that.

This song reminds me of the relationship I have with my dad...along with open wounds. Hes always telling me everythings my fault, and that everything wrong in our lives its my fault.
"So here we go again The same fight we're always in I don't care so why pretend Wake me when your lecture ends You tried to make me small Make me fall and it's all your fault With the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you"
I have just now began to realize its his fault...not mine so I dont care what he says...thus I ignore his lecturing and yelling at me.
For me, this is definitely about my biological father. I can't speak for John or whoever wrote it, but it is exactly how I feel/don't feel about the heck that man has put me through all my life.
