Ain't About You

You always used to smile when you held your guitar

But now it feels like a reminder that you ain't got too far

Strummin' strings used to feel like breathin'

But now it takes your breath away

Countin' years, countin' reasons

Why it won't work, but what if it does?

What if tomorrow, all those closed doors open, but

If you give up, if you give in

You should know that you're not the only one who's losin'

What if there's a little girl who needs a song

Tellin' her she's beautiful when the world tells her she's wrong?

So before you say you're not good enough

That all your dreams are wishin' dust

Do you call it quits, walk away, and say you're through?

What if it ain't about you?

Comparison can kill your faith

Watchin' people win when you're just beggin' for a break

You're happy for 'em, you cheer 'em on

But the whole time, you're overthinkin'

Wonderin' what you're doin' wrong

Are you crazy for believin' in

Somethin' everyone told you that you would never get?

But if you give up, if you give in

You should know that you're not the only one who's losin'

What if there's a little boy who needs a safe place to cry

When the whole world says to suck it up just 'cause he's a guy?

So before you say you're not good enough

That all your dreams are wishin' dust

Do you call it quits, walk away, and say you're through?

What if it ain't about you?

If you throw it all away

You're tellin' God He made a mistake

But He never makes 'em

Maybe you should have some patience

There's purpose in the wait

'Cause if you give up, if you give in

You should know that you're not the only one who's losin'

What if there's a heart that needs some hope

And finds it in the words that you almost never wrote

So before you say you're not good enough

That all your dreams are wishin' dust

Do you call it quits, walk away, and say you're through?

What if it ain't about you?

What if it ain't about you?

What if it ain't about you?
