Goodrem has to date achieved nine #1 ARIA singles and multiple UK Top 10 singles. Her debut album, 2003's Innocent Eyes, made her one of Australia's highest-selling female recording artists, spending 29 weeks at #1, and selling over a million copies in Australia and 2.5 million worldwide. While 2004's Mistaken Identity was unable to match the commercial success of its predecessor, it entered the ARIA charts at #1 and gained multi-platinum status. To date, Goodrem has sold 3.5 million albums worldwide. In 2005, she embarked on The Visualise Tour, her debut concert tour of Australia.
In 2003, at the age of 18 and amidst her blooming career, Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer. She has since made a full recovery and now spends much of her time promoting cancer charities.
Goodrem was invited to write and sing the theme song of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Named 'Together We Are One', the track was co-written with her ex, Brian McFadden and long-time collaborator Guy Chambers. 'Together We Are One' was not originally planned for release as a single, but due to Australian public demand, it was released and peaked at #2 on the official ARIA charts. She was later also invited to perform the theme for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, with "Welcome to Earth".

Delta Goodrem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who'd fall apart without you
Yeah you broke my heart for the first time
But I'll get over that too
It's hard to find the reasons
Who can see the rhyme?
I guess that we where seasons out of time
I guess you didn't know me
If you think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
Surprised that I caught you out
On every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not me, not I, not I, no not me, not I
The story goes on without you
And there's got to be another ending
But yeah you broke my heart it won't be the last time
But I'll get over them too
As a new door opens we close the ones behind
And if you search your soul I know you'll find
You never really knew me
If you think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
Surprised that I caught you out
On every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not me, not I, not I, not I, not I
All you said to me
All you promised me
All the mystery never did believe
No I never cry no I never not me not I
If you think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the floors between the lines
Surprised that I caught you out
On every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not I, I won't cry
No not me, not I, not I
The lyrics of Delta Goodrem's song "Not Me Not I" convey a sense of empowerment and strength in the face of heartbreak and deception. The opening line is a clear statement of frustration, as the singer feels that her former partner mistook her for someone who could not function without him. The second line reveals the pain of the breakup, but also the determination to move on. The following lines express the confusion and hurt that often accompany the end of a relationship, questioning the reasons and the timing.
The chorus is a declaration of independence and self-respect. The singer refuses to be fooled by love or blinded by emotions, and confidently states that she sees through her former partner's lies. She acknowledges the possibility of feeling sad or hurt, but also asserts that she is not broken and will not shed any tears for him. The bridge emphasizes the idea of closure and new beginnings, as the singer implies that she has already moved on and found a better path.
Overall, "Not Me Not I" is a powerful and inspiring song that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to overcome adversity. It encourages listeners to be true to themselves, to believe in their own strength, and to embrace the opportunities that life offers.

You mixed me up for someone
You mistook me for someone else
Who'd fall apart without you
Who would crumble without your presence
Yeah you broke my heart for the first time
You shattered my heart initially
But I'll get over that too
But I will also move past that
It's hard to find the reasons
It is difficult to identify the causes
Who can see the rhyme?
Who is able to perceive the pattern?
I guess that we where seasons out of time
I think we were not meant for each other
I guess you didn't know me
I assume you did not really know me
If you think love is blind
If you believe love is not perceptive
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
That I would not notice the imperfections within the details
Surprised that I caught you out
Amazed that I discovered your deception
On every single time that you lied
On each occasion that you were untruthful
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
Thought that every time I saw you, I would weep
No not me, not I, not I, no not me, not I
Never me, not me, not me, never me, not me
The story goes on without you
The tale continues in your absence
And there's got to be another ending
And there has to be a different conclusion
But yeah you broke my heart it won't be the last time
However, you have wounded me, and it will not be the final occasion
But I'll get over them too
But, I will also recover from those experiences
As a new door opens we close the ones behind
As one doorway unlocks, we shut the prior entryways
And if you search your soul I know you'll find
And if you introspect, I believe you will discover
You never really knew me
You never fully comprehended me
All you said to me
All the words you spoke to me
All you promised me
All the commitments you made to me
All the mystery never did believe
All the enigma, I never accepted
No I never cry no I never not me not I
No, I do not weep, never me, not me
I won't cry
I will not shed tears
No not me, not I, not I
Not me, not me, never me

Who can see the rhyme?
I guess that we were seasons out of time
I guess you didn't know me
If you think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
Surprise and I caught you out one every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not me, not I not I
No not me not I
The story goes on without you
There's got to be another ending
But yeah
You broke my heart for the last time
But I'll get over them too
As a new door opens we close the ones behind
And if you search your soul I know you'll find

No not me not I not I no not me not I
Oh...

All you promised me
All the mystery
Never did believe
No I never cry no I never not me not I
If you think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
Surprise that I caught you out on every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see I would cry
No not I
I won't cry
No not me not I
No I
No not me not I👍👍

I discovered this amazing song and the innocent eyes album when I was at high school, and I fell in love with delta, since then I collect all the material from her and love her music even I’m far from Australia and it’s difficult to find albums, singles, dvds, etc but I have a little collection! I wish everyone in the world could hear this amazing woman! My favorite singer ever!!!! 🥰
@hasanghosn6860
You wrote exactly what i was willing to type , i have just one casette i always keep safe and it is the innocent eyes album , i lost properties worth a million dollars and dont care , all i care for is keeping this casette safe because the memories are more valuable than what we own now
@CapCarter838
I was in high school as well when I discovered Delta when Innocent Eyes came out. I live in the States and I used to buy Top of the Pops magazine and found her out through there. I love and adore her to this day. I just met her recently when she opened for Backstreet Boys and she’s an incredibly sweet person. Her voice live in person is stunning.
@giogoodrem
@@CapCarter838 wow! Almost 20 years to finally see her live! Thanks for sharing!
