This Isn't About You Anymore

This Isn't About You Anymore - Dr. Frank

You were my life to some extent

My little world and all it meant

My only eyes to see it through

But what could I have seen in you?

This isn't about you anymore

You may have been what it was about before

But I gave it some thought

It turns out it's not

I think it's gonna help a lot

Now everything I went through with you

Doesn't have anything to do with you

Though your spirit lives on

In damage that you have done

There's a big fat hole in my heart

And you know that you played a part

But now I don't intend to make it a trend

It's not about you anymore

I imagine that somehow

Far away from here and now

Thoughts of you might ring some bells

When I'm sad for something else

This isn't about you anymore

I don't remember what you were in it for

Oh yes I do, you were just passing through

Unnecessary and untrue

Once it was fresh but now it's stale

This tedious and pathetic tale

Of regret and chagrin, you were the heroine

Now you're a footnote

To somebody else's footnote

In a book no one ever wrote

I'll give you a hint: you're out of print

It's not about you anymore

And so my friend, I'm afraid

We're going to have to let you go

That's right: you're fired

Your participation in this psychodrama

Is no longer required

Your legacy though will never fade

For all the contributions you have made

Wrecking my peace of mind

Was some of your finest work

Will you still be so proud of it

Now I've written you out of it

You once were the star,

Now I don't know what you are

But it's not about you anymore
