Cover art for It's Not About You lyrics by Scouting for Girls

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'.
