So Long Self (the song's title)

In this area, I could only say "Do as I say, not as I do" if I were to throw around advice. One of the hardest parts of being a Christian...learning to be selfless. In a world filled with authorities and bosses and requirements, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and underappreciated. It's not so easy to remember "Believe it or not but life is not apparently about me anyways" every day.

MercyMe - So Long Self
From the album Coming Up To Breathe

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

Chorus:
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 your 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
