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 you, 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 long to rekindle It's not about you, and it isn't true 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 be so dull, so you get a little personal...

What have I done? ...censored
