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?
In Nelson's song "What About Me?", the singer is coming to terms with the end of a ten year relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner has been holding back feelings and thoughts that they now need to share. While the singer is understanding and supportive, they also express their own feelings of hurt and confusion. The chorus, "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?" encapsulates the frustration and sadness the singer feels about their relationship coming to an end. They acknowledge the importance of their partner's needs but also express their own sense of loss and uncertainty.
The song paints a picture of a relationship that has ended with mutual respect but also a sense of sadness and loss. The singer is torn between wanting to support their partner's decision to leave and feeling abandoned and hurt. The song's emotive lyrics and heartfelt delivery make it a relatable and moving portrayal of love and loss.
