Is It Just Me
Emily Burns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting alone, my fingers picking the sofa apart
An attempt to distract from the fact that I miss you
I wonder if your friends have had to carry you home
And stay for the night because they don't want to leave you alone
Way before it was fun, it's becoming an issue
I know it's cruel
Tell me, does your heart stop at the party when my name drops?
Like you're stood at the platform when the trains cross
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Or is it just me?
I heard a rumor you've been spending some time
With that blonde girl that you work with and I know she's exactly your type
And my miserable mind's running wild with the picture
Or are you there by yourself, dialing, redialing my number?
And I'm calling your mother, spilling tears on my jumper again
The way I am
I know it's cruel
But I kind of hope you're tortured too
Tell me, does your heart stop at the party when my name drops?
Like you're stood at the platform when the trains cross
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Or is it just me?
'Cause this would be one whole lot easier
God, I know that's selfish but it's true
If underneath some calm exterior
You're all fucked up too
Tell me, does your heart stop at the party when my name drops?
Like you're stood at the platform when the trains cross
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
With only cigarettes for company?
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Or is it just me?
The lyrics of Emily Burns's song "Is It Just Me?" express the emotional pain and longing that comes with a recent breakup. The singer is struggling to distract herself, but finds it difficult as she wonders about her ex-boyfriend's actions and emotions since they parted ways. She envisions him drinking too much at parties, being comforted by his friends, and potentially even dating someone new. The singer admits to hoping that her ex is also struggling, as it would make her own pain more bearable.
The chorus of the song repeats the question, "Is it just me?" as the singer wonders if her ex is also feeling the same heartache and sense of displacement that she is experiencing. She imagines him affected by the mere mention of her name, and wonders if he is crying in the shower or feeling as alone as she is. The repetition of this question throughout the song underscores the sense of loneliness and uncertainty that comes with heartbreak.
Overall, "Is It Just Me?" is a poignant and relatable depiction of the aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics capture the sadness, hopelessness, and confusion that can arise when a relationship ends, and the desire to know whether the other person is feeling the same pain.

It's been way too long for me to find it this hard
I've been struggling for a while now
Sitting alone, my fingers picking the sofa apart
I'm anxious and restless
An attempt to distract from the fact that I miss you
I'm trying to avoid thinking about how much I miss you
I wonder if your friends have had to carry you home
I'm worried about how you're doing
And stay for the night because they don't want to leave you alone
I'm afraid that you're hurting and don't have anyone to turn to
Way before it was fun, it's becoming an issue
Our breakup used to be bearable, but now it's getting harder to deal with
I know it's cruel
I realize my thoughts might be mean
But I kind of hope you're tortured too
But I can't help wishing that you're feeling as miserable as I am
Tell me, does your heart stop at the party when my name drops?
Do you feel a sharp pain in your chest when you hear my name mentioned?
Like you're stood at the platform when the trains cross
Like you're frozen, unable to move on
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
I'm sure you're feeling just as hurt as I am
Or is it just me?
Or am I the only one struggling?
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
I'm feeling overwhelmed and unable to express my emotions
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
When I have to explain our breakup to others
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
Is the pain of our breakup too much to bear?
I heard a rumor you've been spending some time
I've heard that you've been seeing someone else
With that blonde girl that you work with and I know she's exactly your type
I'm afraid that you've moved on to someone else who's better suited for you
And my miserable mind's running wild with the picture
I can't help but imagine the worst-case scenario
Or are you there by yourself, dialing, redialing my number?
Or are you also struggling to move on and trying to reach out to me?
And I'm calling your mother, spilling tears on my jumper again
I'm so upset that I'm resorting to calling your family for comfort
The way I am
I know I'm not in a good place right now
Cause this would be one whole lot easier
It would be so much easier if we could both move on
God, I know that's selfish but it's true
I know it sounds selfish, but I can't help feeling this way
If underneath some calm exterior
I hope that you're secretly struggling too
You're all fucked up too
I hope you're feeling just as messed up inside as I am
With only cigarettes for company?
Are you feeling lonely and seeking comfort in smoking?
Or is it just me?
Or is it just me who's experiencing all of this?

The boy I trusted. Let's call him "A". He was the only one I told anything too. I gave him all of me. I never gave anyone me! We texted for hours. I started leaving everything behind for him. I stopped dancing so I could talk to him all day. I felt like I was enough for once. But one day. He ignored me. Never answering my texts. When I asked him why he simply said "Cause your weird". One word took the confident girl and made her questiom her weight. Her personality. Her looks. And now she cries herself to sleep. Regrets eating to much. But he also made her start dancing again. He made her remember there is other things then just him. But everynow and then I think about him. His hair. His face. His jokes. All our conversations. I deleted them and regret doing that. I know it was 2 years ago. But it still hurts thinking about his smile. His jokes. His random questions. Him himself. But I will fight through it and so can you.
I know life is hard
I know it hurts
No matter what they say
Can take the pain away
But we can't let it
We need to fight against it
Even when they say they "love you"
It can change in one day.
But we can do it
We can fight
You are beautiful
You are worth it
I am here for you
I am

Actually same goes for too, i don't care about the looks too much
Infact it's the personality that lasts longer than the looks
Can you give me some tips if you don't mind 😅 i mean i am not a bad guy but whenever i see a girl near me, i become so less talkative and starts ignoring her, but later i feel bad for her 😢
Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language .....

"Are you crying in the shower like a freak?"
Damn.....
@mhm77887
Such a good line honestly. No offense, but the "I miss you" line is kind of typical, even though people can of course use it if they like to. The "are you crying in the shower like a freak" is just so..different. So real, ya know?
