Never Mind Me
Glen Burtnik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The things that I say to you.
Pay no attention to me if I get in the way
Never mind me
I'm just a fool for you, fall at your feet it's true, everyday
can't you see I may be just what you need?
And if you don't know by now
isn't it love that moves the mountains?
isn't it love that breaks your fall?
isn't it love that makes you happy,
Makes a difference in this world?
But if your heart don't want to hear it,
If your eyes don't want to see...
Never mind me
I'm not the one you want. 'Guess I'll be moving on,
I'll be alright.
But you oughta think twice. Love can blow like the wind
& not come around again...wave bye-bye
I believe it may be just what you need
You can pretend it's not true, I guess it's all up to you
But isn't it love that moves the mountains?
isn't it love that breaks your fall?
isn't it love that makes you happy,
Makes a difference in this world?
But if your heart don't want to hear it,
If your eyes don't want to see
Maybe you got all the answers...got it all figured out
Who am I to tell you what you should know by now?
But if your heart don't want to hear it,
If your eyes don't want to see...
Nevermind me
The lyrics of Glen Burtnik's song "Never Mind Me" are about unrequited love and the singer's desire to be noticed by the object of his affection. He acknowledges that he may be in the way and tries to downplay his feelings for her, but at the same time, he believes that he may be what she needs. He asks her to consider love and its power to move mountains and make a difference in the world. However, if she is unwilling to hear him out, he resolves to move on and says goodbye.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song by introducing the theme of the singer being overlooked and underappreciated in his relationship with the object of his love. He admits to being a "fool" and falling "at your feet," but he is still willing to have his feelings disregarded if it means staying in her life. The second verse is more assertive, however, as he insists that she needs him and will regret not giving him a chance. He states that love is a powerful force that can make a difference in the world, and that she should not dismiss it lightly.
The chorus repeats the message that love is powerful and transformative, but at the same time, it acknowledges that not everyone is willing to accept it. The final verse is resigned and bittersweet, as the singer admits that he may be wrong about everything and that she already has all the answers she needs. Nevertheless, he still can't help but wonder if he could make a difference in her life if only she would listen to him.
