Don't Take It Personally

Don't Take It Personally

co-written by Catherine King

You take it all so personally,

When I don't call or I don't write

Well did you ever think there's a reason

That I might not be alright?

You fill my inbox with messages

And get upset when I don't respond

Did you ever stop to think at all

That something might be wrong?

You are not the centre of my life

No matter how much you want to believe it

You know that you'll never be right

So if I don't reply, don't take it personally

I just need some space, a chance to be free

If you can't get me on Facebook,

You send me a tweet,

Don't you get the message darlin'

You need to hit the street

All these messages to my inbox

That you send are now delivered

But don't bother me with Twitter,

Unless you really want me to be bitter

You are not the centre of my life

No matter how much you want to believe it

You know that you'll never be right

So if I don't reply, don't take it personally

I just need some space, a chance to be free

You don't seem to get the message,

So let me make it clear

I am done with you, I'm finished

I'm getting out of here

Don't friend me on Facebook, or send me a tweet

Don't push me too far, I'm trying to be sweet

No phone calls, no messages, no skyping, we're through

Don't you get it darlin', I am finished with you!

You are not the centre of my life

No more will I be thinking of you

In the middle of the night

I'm done with you, I'm through

You are not the centre of my life

No matter how much you want to believe it

You know that you'll never be right

So if I don't reply, don't take it personally

I just need some space, a chance to be free

Let me be free...
