this song's not about you

It was summer
And I'd never been to California
I wanted to know her
She smiled and said
'I really think you could be what I'm looking for
You're not like the other girls
You're not the same at all'

Then I waited for calls from a number that I deleted
While my, my mind, my mind was all depleted
You taught me I need to be on my A-game all of the time
Or no one will ever want me

I've learned quite a lot since then
So I'll be the bigger person
I won't talk about how you fall in love
With the idea of falling in love
Until you get too attached and then you run
You use people to build yourself up
And throw them away when you're good
You don't own your actions when you should
It's all me, I'm just not enough
Or how you're never ever done
Until you've thrown the board and won
I won't mention any of it
I won't mention any of it
Oh, wait

You never cared
I'm aware
I was just there
To feed your ego for you
You never cared
I'm aware

Kayla said she saw you on TV
Singing songs you swear aren't about me
'Cause you're too cool
With 2000's John Mayer blues
Yeah, you're so cool
And these songs aren't about you
Yeah, these songs aren't about you
No, these songs aren't about you
