It's Not Me, It's You

This perfectly sums up ending a toxic relationship, standing tall, and not blaming yourself for their actions. Very good song.

Meaning of this song: Skillet frontman John Cooper told StereoTruth: "This is definitely an angry song, but it's also tongue in cheek. So many times this is something you say during a break up, but it could also apply to an authority figure or a parent who treats you bad. Even when people weigh us down, we can turn to Christ and find ourselves empowered by putting our hope in Him instead of letting someone who's giving you a hard time wear you down." In a 2017 interview with the Jesus Calling podcast, Cooper explained how the song saved a man's life: "A guy came to me a few weeks ago and said that his wife cheated on him, and ran off with their kid. He went into depression and wanted to kill himself. He tried to kill himself and he was committed to a psych ward. He ends up hearing our song 'It's Not Me, It's You' and that song made him realize that he was not crazy, that it really was his wife. He went into rehab, he got off of drugs, and here he is five years later - he has sole custody of his kids. He's clean and he was crying telling me the story. I just thought, I cannot believe that song did that. There's a lot of broken people out there, and they need to hear these messages, and they’re not going to come to church to hear them. So, we need to go to them. That’s what I’m most excited about." "A lot of people say it's not very Christian," Cooper told The Denver Post of the song. "But it's about self-improvement. It's about someone, something or even yourself bringing you down and then all of a sudden, you realize that it's not you. You are OK. It could be a relationship, a friend. It's something a lot of Christians don't like talking about, but we need to."

A moment of silence for the people that never knew about this song🤘🤘👻

The most underrated Skillet song

I'm glad I can listen to this without crying my eyes out and just enjoy the song

Used to cry listening to this song, now i can look back through the years and stand tall. I’m enjoying this song so much

Best Skillet Song period....

I dedicate this to my classmates in school

I dedicate this song to my mom. You put me through so much as a sixteen year old you are no longer my problem. You weren't there for me when my girlfriend died, when my 4 best friends died, you only care about yourself, it's not me it's you.

Haven't listened to skillet since I was 10. I'm happy that this is the first song I listen to of there's

LYRICS Let's get the story straight You were a poison You flooded (inundar) through my veins You left me broken You tried to make me think That the blame was all on me With the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you (you) It's not me it's you (you) Always has been you All the lies and stupid things you say and do It's you (you) It's not me it's you (you) All the lies and pain you put me through I know that it's not me it's you You You It's not me it's you, you So here we go again The same fight we're always in I don't care so why pretend Wake me when your lecture ends You tried to make me small Make me fall and it's all your fault With the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you It's not me it's you (you) Always has been you All the lies and stupid things you say and do It's you (you) It's not me it's you (you) All the lies and pain you put me through I know that it's not me it's you You You It's not me it's you, you Let's get the story straight You were a poison Flooding through my veins Your driving me insane And now you're gone away I'm no longer choking From the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you (you) It's not me it's you (you) Always has been you All the lies and stupid things you say and do It's you (you) It's not me it's you (you) All the lies and pain you put me through I know that it's not me it's you You You It's not me it's you It's not me it's you, you It's not me it's you It's not me it's you, you It's not me it's you It's not me it's you, you It's not me it's you It's not me it's you
