In the Middle
Miss Montreal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only live with true love easy days, the usual usual stuff
Everyday I lie to myself of course I'm in love

No one has called my name yet so
Goodbye for you then and I'm all alone

Please give me a safe spot something to hide in
I'm going nowhere now
I wanna follow my heart, why don't you follow my heart now
It's going nowhere

I'm in the middle of nothing right now
The things that were meant for me mean nothing
At night I just want to talk to myself

You...
You...

You wanted more than I could give you that is why we broke up
Now I'm sleeping with lies and guys
I've lost my lust for love

No one has called my name yet so
Goodbye for you then and I'm all alone

Please give me a safe spot something to hide in
I'm going nowhere now
I wanna follow my heart, why don't you follow my heart now
It's going nowhere

I'm in the middle of nothing right now
The things that were ment for me mean nothing
At night I just want to talk to myself

What do you see, I'm standing right here in front of you
Every time you tell me that I'm not the one
I'm not the one for

You...
You...

Please give me a safe spot something to hide in
I'm going nowher now
I wanna follow my heart, why don't you follow my heart now
It's going nowhere

Stuck in the middle of nothing right now
The things that were meant for me mean nothing
At night I just want to talk to myself

Talk to myself

I'm in the middle of nothing right now
The thing that were meant for me mean nothing
At night I just want to talk to myself





Talk to myself
Talk to myself 'round here

Overall Meaning

The singer describes living a life of "usual stuff" in the company of "true love" and lying to herself that she is still in love.

She seeks a "safe spot" to hide in and wishes to follow her heart, which is going nowhere.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "I'm in the middle of nothing right now," emphasizing the sense of emptiness and lack of direction in the singer's life. She laments that the things that were meant for her now mean nothing and can only talk to herself at night.
