Not Just About You
It's about the things we take for granted. And whatever we do, affects others too, not just ourselves.

About the song
In a relationship, some of us take our words.. promises for granted. We may pledge our lives and sing praises and do wonderful things when it feels right.
However, when things don't go our way, we forget what we said we'll do. We forget and turn against ourselves, and eventually, it gets to those around us. We think we'll bear the consequences ourselves, but we can only take so much. The rest will have to seep out somewhere.. to be vented out somewhere. Sometimes, it's those we love the most.
What can I say? I'm guilty of this too. Especially towards God. Everytime i go to church and sing those worship songs, hear some powerful message, my mind is like "yea! I'm gonna be totally committed this time! theres no turning back!" Then as Monday comes along, Tuesday.. Wednesday.. and by the time i reach Thursday, it feels as though I forgot my purpose in life. And I indulge myself in the evils, and temptations around me. Then Sunday comes.. and the whole cycle repeats itself. A sick cycle carousel.

Lyrics
V1
G
Here it comes again
Am7 C
The same line the same old tune
D
The same actions every time
G
Here it comes again
Am7 C
I say I love you so
D Am
So much so that I’ll pledge my life
Pre-Chorus
But overtime
These words of mine
Are flowers one season the next it
G
will wither
Chorus
Am Em
So you tell me
D G
That these things that I do
Am Em
That it hurts you
D G
And its painful
Am Em
Now you tell me
D G
Please just stop these things you do
Am Em
That it hurts me
D Am – Bm - C
Cause it’s not just about you….
FADE OUT
G D Am Cadd9 D G
Do you love Him...
When love is higher than these things...
I have never thought this way...
G
Here it comes again
Am7 C

Pre-Chorus
But overtime
These words of mine
Are flowers one season the next it
