It Ain't Me
Nestor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Her eyes were brown like the colors of her shoes
An autumn day
A world away
I was young but now my heart is old
Got swept away
This old cliche

Even if the world collides

It ain't me
It's not me
If there's something missing in your heart
It ain't me
It's not me you need

As the light of day were fading out
She closed the door
Still wanted more
You say you need someone to lift you up
I'm sad to say
I'm not your man

Even if the world collides
It ain't me
It ain't me
If there's something missing in your heart
It ain't me
It's not me you need

So tell me where we lost our way
Cause I need to know

Even if the world collides
It ain't me
It ain't me
If there's something missing in your heart
It ain't me
It's not me

It ain't me
It's not me you need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "It Ain't Me" express the realization of the singer that he cannot be the one to fill the emotional void in his lover's heart. He describes a past encounter with her, where she had brown eyes that matched the color of her shoes, setting the scene of an autumn day, a time of change and transition. He admits that although he was young and naive then, he is now wiser and more experienced. He remembers getting swept away by her, but acknowledges that it was an old cliché.

The chorus repeats that he is not the one she needs. Even if the world were to end, he would not be able to fulfill this role. The second verse describes a scene where she closed the door, leaving him wanting more, and asking for someone to lift her up. However, he is unable to be that person. The bridge of the song is a plea for her to help him understand where they lost their way.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a narrator who has come to understand that he cannot be everything to someone else, and that a relationship cannot work if emotional needs are not met. It is a realistic and mature take on love, with a touch of regret and longing for understanding.
