Get Me
Anna Clendening Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you turn out all the lights?
TV on so you don't have to sleep alone
Do ya think back on all the fights?
Still convinced I'm out my mind?
Or did ya get drunk and just pick up the phone?
To remind myself that I'm better than this
So did you think you'd show up and I'd let you in?
You didn't get me then
So you don't get me now
You don't get me now
I didn't understand
How you could walk out
But I do now
I do now
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
You used to hate when I got sad
Said it always made you feel bad
Never got that it wasn't about you at all (about you at all)
Used to think that we were so good, sometimes
Thought that maybe if I gave you your time
You'd come around, now you're coming around
But
I got you tattooed on my skin
To remind myself that I'm better than this
So did you think you'd show up and I'd let you in?
You didn't get me then
So you don't get me now
You don't get me now
I didn't understand (didn't understand)
How you could walk out (how you could walk out)
But I do now (but I do now)
I do now
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
I do now
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
Now I'm better, better than I ever was
I didn't understand
How you could walk out
But I'm glad you did
Anna Clendening's song "Get Me" is about the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe Anna's emotions as she reflects on the relationship, wondering if her ex-partner still thinks about her or if they have moved on. She questions whether he remembers their fights and whether he contacted her while drunk. The song expresses the singer's confusion and sadness surrounding the relationship's end, but also her growth and the strength she has gained since then.
The chorus of the song emphasizes Anna's newfound strength and independence. She reveals that she has a tattoo of her ex's name on her skin, not as a symbol of their love, but as a constant reminder that she deserves better than what she received in the relationship. When her ex returns, Anna is confident in herself and her ability to move on, telling him that he doesn't "get" her anymore. The song ends on a note of empowerment, as Anna proclaims that she is "better than ever" without him.
Overall, "Get Me" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced a toxic relationship and come out on the other side. It's a reminder that we are all capable of growth, healing, and self-love, even in the face of heartbreak.

You're never alone. EVER! The major breakdown is... Many don't ever talk about their feeling and/or struggles. But no matter what, you're never ALONE! THEY'LL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE ELSE STRUGGLING WITH THE SAME THINGS YOU'VE STRUGGLED OR IS STRUGGLING WITH. SOME EVEN A LOT MORE WORSE THAN YOU.
What we need to do as people, human beings, society... is treat everyone with respect. They say... Respect is earned not given not demanded. Well... although some may truly believe in that, I don't. And I'm not saying anything is wrong in believing whatever you believe. But just know that I try living my life ALWAYS GIVING PEOPLE RESPECT. EVEN WHEN THEY DONT DESERVE IT, I STILL GIVE IT. BUT... I AVOID SOCIALIZING WITH THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR OTHERS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY... HAVE RESPECT FOR ME.
