My new mantra...
Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say
So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long, self
Stop right there because I know what you're thinking
But no we can't be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Can't you see
So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long, self
Don't feel so bad (don't feel so bad)
There'll be better days (there'll be better days)
Don't go away mad (but by all means)
Just go away, go away
So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long, self
Farewell, Goodbye...
So Long Self by Mercy Me

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
At the end of the Covenant study, we gotta play that! Would you consider singing it?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! It's just SOOOOOOOO perfect! It sums up all that we've been learning!
What a great song!
Thanks for posting it. I have never heard it!
Love you, sweet friend!

Yes, this is an awesome song. I don't know how it would sound a-cappella, since Mercy Me is a pretty hip band with full accompaniment. I haven't taken up guitar yet, but I'm strongly considering it again, that way I can accompany myself!
I'll sing it for you sometime and you can tell me if you still want me to, or if the recording would be more appropriate.
Love you, too!
I love just about everything Mercy Me does. This song is excellent.
Thanks for posting the lyrics.
Stephen,
Sometimes I'll have the Christian XM station on at home and when a particularly great song comes on, I pull up the lyrics on christianlyricsonline.com to read along. It's a great resource for lyrics to songs I buy on iTunes (which means I don't get the c.d. jacket with the words... bummer).
Occasionally there will be a song that ministers to me through the Word, I post it with the intention of bringing that blessing to someone else.
Thanks for reading.
Awesome lyrics! :) We all need a reminder that "it's not about me." :P
