The Censor

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...

Lately I've been afraid, maybe I say too much
Maybe the ones involved are feeling the rub - while I play dumb

I'm sure this sentiment could come off as arrogant
To assume you're all hung up on such triflin' melody
It's not you, it's me with whom I'm concerned...
What have I done?
