It’s Not Me (It’s You) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Danny Worsnop]
Can I tell you a secret?
I've been trying for a while, but I don't feel it no more
Can I be all out of faith and still be a believer?
I wanna be a believer, all I want is a reason
Just one, it don't need to be major
Something to make me feel like our time ain't wasted
'Cause I don't need that shit, no, I don't need that shit

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]
No, it ain't me, there's something wrong with you
And I don't wanna talk about it
No, it's done, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun
So long, I'm long gone

[Verse 2: Danny Worsnop]
I thought you were different
That you were nothing like the idiots always around us
That you had a sane head on your shoulders
Now they're all saying "I told you"
And we're at a crossroad
I wish this could be more than a once was
That you didn't need to feed off problems
'Cause I don't need that shit, no, I don't need that shit

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]
No, it ain't me, there's something wrong with you
And I don't wanna talk about it
No, it's done, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun
So long, I'm long gone
[Post-Chorus: Danny Worsnop]
Yeah, I hate to say it
But someone really needs to
We both saw this coming
There's no sense in keeping on, in keeping on, I'm moving on

[Bridge: Ben Bruce]
All I need is a reason
Just one fucking reason
All I need is a reason
Just one fucking reason
All I need is a reason
Just one fucking reason

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]
It ain't me, there's something wrong with you
And I don't wanna talk about it
No, it's done, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun
So long, I'm long gone

[Post-Chorus: Danny Worsnop]
Yeah, I hate to say it
But someone really needs to
We both saw this coming
There's no sense in keeping on, in keeping on, I'm moving on

What did Asking Alexandria say about "It's Not Me (It's You)"?
Genius Answer

This one is about being brave enough to get out of those toxic relationships and situations in our lives. It’s for people who feel like they’ve been there for too long to move on. It’s about understanding that that’s okay, and it’s okay to walk away acknowledging that the problem isn’t necessarily with you. It starts out very [tense and] regimented but by the end it has this real feeling of liberation. The chorus is so bouncy and energetic, we wanted it to make people feel free.

Ben Bruce, Kerrang!
