The song was included later on the European edition of My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection in 2008.

Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought that I knew you well
We had a rhythm
But I guess you never can tell
Oh, I learned early
Never to ignore the signs
You'll be forgiven
Lovin' you so easy
It's hard to say goodbye
But if that's the way it goes it goes
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled
(Seriously misled)
Loving somebody ain't your average nine to five
It takes conviction and it takes a will to survive
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
And leaves the scene
But when I've been dissed
I don't spend much time on what might have been
I'm not about self pity
Your love did me wrong
Now I'm movin', movin' on, yeah
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled
(Seriously misled)
I get on with my life
And you're not on my mind
All I took was the time to get over you
I'm not about self pity
Your love did me wrong
So I'm moving, movin' on and on, and on, and on, and on
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries (just another page)
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You're seriously misled
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think it, think it, think it, think it, baby, oh yeah
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You've been seriously misled
The song "Misled" by Céline Dion is a poignant breakup song that talks about the challenges of ending a relationship with someone you once loved. The first verse talks about the singer's initial belief that she knew her partner well and how they shared a rhythm that seemed unbreakable. However, she then acknowledges that she missed the signs and that she's learned a lesson: forgiveness isn't always worth it. She acknowledges that loving someone is not an average job and that it takes more than just willingness but also strong conviction to survive. She emphasizes that she's not someone who will commit the crime and stay on the scene, but when she's been hurt, she doesn't focus on what might have been.
The chorus is particularly striking as it conveys strong emotions. Dion sings that the person who broke her heart is just a page in her history, and though she loved him, he's not worth her time anymore. She is currently moving on from the relationship and doesn't want the guy to think that he's still in her head because he's been seriously misled. The second verse amplifies the idea in the first. Dion is not someone who indulges in self-pity. She confirms that her ex-lover did her wrong, and she's moving forward with her life, which doesn't include him. She has taken a long time to get over him, but it's now clear that he's not on her mind anymore.
In conclusion, "Misled" by Céline Dion is a breakup song that succinctly captures the pain of letting go of someone you once loved. The first verse sets the stage, the chorus amplifies the message, and the second verse brings the message home. Dion did an excellent job of conveying raw emotions through her powerful voice, making it obvious that she knows what it's like to love and lose someone.

I thought I knew you
I believed I had a deep understanding of who you were
Thought that I knew you well
Assumed that we had a genuine connection with one another
We had a rhythm
We acted in sync with each other
But I guess you never can tell
Despite what I believed, it appears that you were not the person I had thought you were
Oh, I learned early
I acquired knowledge through prior experiences
Never to ignore the signs
To pay attention to actions and behavior that may indicate deception or wrongdoing
You'll be forgiven
I may forgive you for your actions, but it is not of much importance to me
It ain't worth that much to my mind
It does not hold significant value to me
Lovin' you so easy
Falling in love with you was an effortless action
It's hard to say goodbye
Parting ways with you is a difficult task
But if that's the way it goes it goes
If our relationship is meant to end, then it will end
Just a page in my history
You are just a fleeting moment in my past experiences
Just another one of those mysteries
You are a puzzle that will never be solved
One more lover that used to be
You are one more person who was a significant figure in my life and is no longer present
If you think you're in my head
If you believe that you still hold an important role in my mind
You been seriously misled
You are mistaken and deluded
Loving somebody ain't your average nine to five

It requires determination and patience to endure
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
I am not someone who is deceitful or untrustworthy
And leaves the scene
And disappears without facing the consequences
But when I've been dissed
But when I have been insulted or treated poorly
I don't spend much time on what might have been
I do not dwell on what could have been if things were different
I'm not about self pity
I do not indulge in feeling sorry for myself
Your love did me wrong
Your actions caused me harm and emotional distress
Now I'm movin', movin' on, yeah
Now, I am letting go of the past and moving forward with my life
I get on with my life
I am continuing my life without getting stuck in the past
And you're not on my mind
You are no longer a significant presence in my thoughts
And I took lots of time to get over you
I had to invest a considerable amount of time to move on from our relationship
If you think it, think it, think it, think it, baby, oh yeah
If you believe that you still impact my life or have power over my actions
You've been seriously misled
You are wrong, and your beliefs are inaccurate
