this song's not about you

i don't wanna write a song about you
i've done that before and it never works out
i lose it when i put it down on the page
when i'm stuck for a rhyme i forget what i'm talkin about

i don't wanna write a cheezy love song
cause the guys in the band think i'm hopeless already
but those sad songs seem to write themselves, when i get that feeling
and i don't want you to give me that feeling

chorus:
i wanna put your name in a song
so everybody knows the girl i'm singing about
but kristin if no one's listenin, i'm just singing to you
and i hope that you know these things already

i don't wanna try to sum you up in this verse
cause you're more than what's just in these words, but i try
and i keep thinking if i could just find the right ones
to describe you, then i could have you
here with me

chorus
