Can’t you see it’s me not everything that’s in our way
Can’t you see it’s me not everything in our way

You can build yourself an empire then watch it all fall apart
That’s basically what I do
With everything because I’m so inconsistent can’t finish anything through
Because I always feel so incompetent

Can’t you see it’s me not everything in our way
Explosive anger, stuttered words, attacking anxiety
That’s what I have to show for all my years of existence
Yeah and also a collection of broken hearts, college, a series of indifferent jobs, and books filled with sappy love and sad poems
Can’t you see it’s me not everything in our way

They say it’s always calm before the storm
Well that’s what it’s like when you first meet me
I’m smooth, calm, and cool
Then time goes by and I turn into a hurricane
My personality pours onto you like lightning, wind, and rain
The anger, insults, and mood swings hits you all at once
And like the speed of lightning you don’t know what hit you

So I’ll take my collection of broken hearts and whatever knowledge I got out of college, and my experiences of indifferent jobs, and books filled with sappy love and sad poems
And I’ll just go
No
Don’t try to stop me
Because if this were to work it would have been worked
And we’re standing still, we’re not going anywhere
Because it would be hard to move on with us still here…together
And I know it’s hard and it hurts, but our love wasn’t meant to last forever
I’m not being rude, mean, or insensitive
This misery and torment we put ourselves through when we’re together isn’t what is should be like to live
Can’t you see it’s not everything that’s in our way
Can’t you see it’s me not everything in our way
