Song Lyrics

---

Listening to this world
I soon end up confused
I’m supposed to take what I want
But I wind up feeling used
If I was meant to live this life on my own
Then why do I hate to be alone

If it’s all about me
Why do I feel so empty
Why do I lie awake at night
It can’t be about me
‘Cause it always seems
Like I can do nothing right
If I could open my eyes
Maybe I could see the truth
If it’s not about me, God
It must be about You

What is our obsession with
Getting so many things
When we never get the happiness
That we thought it would bring
Sometimes I wonder if we know our own minds
Rejecting the love we’ve tried so hard to find

If it’s all about me
Why do I feel so empty
Why do I lie awake at night
It can’t be about me
‘Cause it always seems
Like I can do nothing right
If I could open my eyes
Maybe I could see the truth
If it’s not about me, God
It must be about You

You don’t need me
All the world is in Your hands
Still You love me
And You make me understand

If it’s all about me
Why do I feel so empty
Why do I lie awake at night
It can’t be about me
‘Cause it always seems
Like I can do nothing right
If I could open my eyes
Maybe I could see the truth
If it’s not about me, God
It must be about You
