What About Me
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something that needs discussin'
You've been keeping inside you
And it's high time I know
There's no way to break it gently
When you told me forever
It doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time
Am I readin' you right?
Did you just turn out the light at the end
Of our ten year tunnel of love?
Yeah, I know it's your hour of need
But what about me?
I won't be the cage that holds you
I won't be the one who told you
That you're making a mistake¡
No baby I've never been that kind
And if you're sayin' that I've confined you
By all means go but let me remind you
You can't change your world as easy
As changin' your mind
What more do I have to give?
Guess I'll just have to live with the thought
My tears'll be setting you free
And I hope you find all you seek
But what about me?
What do you want me to say?
Girl, you're walking away with
The only dream I ever believed
You'll be livin' through leavin' us be
But what about me?
Well I know love don't come guaranteed
But what about me?
The lyrics of Nelson's song "What About Me" convey a sense of painful realization and hurt from a love relationship that is seemingly coming to an end. The song raises some questions as the singer, whose partner has kept feelings inside for a while, asks, "Am I reading you right? Did you just turn out the light at the end of our ten-year tunnel of love?" Despite the emotional pain they are going through, the singer pledges not to be the one to hold onto their partner, insisting, "I won't be the cage that holds you," even if their departure means the end of a shared dream. The singer also insists that their partner cannot change their world as quickly as changing their mind, suggesting that leaving the relationship would not be easy.
Overall, the song seems to express a sense of sadness, betrayal, and questioning as the singer comes to terms with the end of something they've held onto for a long time. The song's lyrics evoke the feelings of being stuck, lost, and unrecognized.
