A little piece of something Falling gently down down down No one understands you like I do I’d rather be beside you Everything we know so well Tell me what you feel now Show me what you think of it It’s not about us anymore It’s all about the reasons That we think we’re fighting for It’s not about hate It’s not about pain we always feel I know we have our problems But we’re not the only ones It’s not about you it’s not about me It’s not about anger It’s more about the loneliness we feel How can I begin to Ask for some forgiveness For all that we have taken There’s nothing left now Just a little piece of something Falling gently down down down No one understands you no no Like I do There’s nothing left now It’s not about us anymore It’s all about the reasons That we think we’re fighting for It’s not about hate It’s not about pain we always feel I know we have our problems But we’re not the only ones It’s not about you it’s not about me It’s not about anger It’s more about the loneliness we feel It’s not about us It’s not about hate It’s more about the loneliness we feel, can you feel it It’s not about anger It’s not about wanting I know we have our problems But we’re not the only ones, we’re not the only ones It’s not about you, it’s not about me...
