It's Not You (Me)

Maybe I just didn't try hard enough
Yeah, I gave up
Maybe I didn't give you the time
And someone else caught your eye
Thought I had you locked away
Safe for another day
But that was my first mistake

Knock, knock
Are you in there?
Yeah, is anybody home?
Are you, are you still mad?
Can I come in?
Are you decent and alone?
See, I'm standing in the rain
To show you that a man can change
But maybe it's just too late

'Cause you know that I don't care
What you think you're gonna wear
'Cause it's not you, it's me, my dear
I don't care what you like
I never kept an open mind
And it's not you, it's me
No, it's not you, it's me
(Solo!)

Actually, no
Now that I think about it
It's unfair to try to blame it all on me
You were like a concentrated evil
A bête noire, sucked the life out of everything
And you know, as the story goes
When a parasite's severed from its host
The host is finally free
And the parasite dies
It's a metaphor for you and me
I hope you die

'Cause you know that I don't care
What you think you're gonna wear
'Cause it's not me, it's you, my dear
No conversation could you hold
And your hands, and your feet, and your heart so cold
And it's not me, it's you
No, it's not me, it's you

And if you'd like to say a word to the crowd
Yes, if you have a side to tell, do it now
'Cause the people are leavin'
They're all goin' home
You're up on the stage, and you're all alone
They were drawn to the sound
Of the crash and the bangs
And the drums and guitar
As the good guy sang

It's not you, it's me (wait, that's wrong!)
It's not me, it's you! (Everybody now!)
It's not me, it's you! (One more time!)
It's not me, it's you!
