It's not a song about old friends,
Backstabbers, leeches, or cretins.
It's not about you, and it isn't true.
It's not a song about family,
How the lack thereof can be crippling.
It's not about, and it isn't true.
These songs are getting smothered
By the consideration of others.
It's not a song about another girl,
An old flame I'd like to rekindle.
It's not about you, and it isn't true. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cursive/the_censor.html ]
It's not about our conversations
(don't worry, I'm not taping).
It's not about you, and it isn't true.
Some stories can get so dull,
So you get a little personal...
Lately, I've been afraid,
Maybe I say too much.
Maybe the ones involved are feeling the rub
-- while I play dumb.
I'm sure this sentiment
Could come off as arrogant;
To assume you're all hung up
On such triflin' melody.
It's not you -- it's me with whom I'm concerned...
What have I done?
