Personal Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)

[Verse 1]
I think it's time I lay my heart out on the line
I think it's time to say what's playing on my mind
I see you out with him and I say that I'm fine
Happens every time (Every time)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm sick and tired of playing games
I'm sick and tired of being second place
And I know if I never try
I'll be sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Chorus]
Don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)
Girl, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)
Girl, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)
Girl, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see, girl)
[Verse 2: Maggie Lindemann]
You know how much I love it when you call me out
You see it in my eyes, the way they follow you around
'Cause yeah, I like the way you dance
You know I do, yeah I do
'Cause that's just you


[Pre-Chorus 2: Maggie Lindemann]
I'm sick and tired of being friends
I'm sick and tired of being there
And I know if I never try
I'll be sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Chorus]
Girl, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)
Girl, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)

[Bridge: Maggie Lindemann & Brad]
So, let's make it personal
Tell me what you like
Let's make it personal
'Cause I know that you want to try to get personal
Tell me what you like
Let's make it personal (Personal)
[Chorus]
So, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)
Don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)
Girl, don't take it personal
But personally, I think you'd be better with somebody like me
But worst of all, you don't even see (You don't even see)

Its about a guy who believes that this girl should be with him instead and they need to stop ignoring their feelings and start to get ‘personal’ as friends doesn’t cut it for him anymore and she deserves better.

Brad shared about the track:

“You kind of get two sides of this story and it’s kind of the story of the guy who thinks that the girl he’s in love with can do better than the guy she’s with. By that, he thinks she should be with him.”

He adds:

“We haven’t really heard anything that sounds like it and it doesn’t sound like anything we’ve done before,”

Maggie Lindemann adds:

“I love the song and the meaning behind it – I think everyone has gone through it.”
