There for Me
Nick Carter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been thinking about the things that we've been through
And I don't know if I'd be here if not for you
I had to take a little time to try to work things out
And you should know that I had never meant to let you down

Cuz I, I,
Wanna tell you that I am sorry
And I, I,
Even when I'm not giving enough and I'm taking too much
You're still there for me
Even when I got nothing at all and I'm ready to fall
You're still there for me
There for me
There for me

Even when I can't be there for you,
You're always there for me

Oh Oh

Sometimes I know I can be so hard to understand (it's okay)
Even when I'm lost to show me who I really am
Life with me, it hasn't always been an easy ride
But because of you I've learned to loose myself much high

Cuz I, I,
Wanna tell you that I am sorry
And I, I,
Even when I'm not giving enough and I'm taking too much
You're still there for me


Even When I got nothing at all and I'm ready to fall
You're still there for me
There for me
There for me

Even when I can't be there for you,
Oh, you are always there for me

O, know it's love
Oh Wow

Must Be Love

Woohooo

It's gotta be real love
It's gotta be real love
Real Love

Even when I'm giving enough and I'm taking too much
You're still there for me
Even when I got nothing at all and I'm ready to fall
You're still there for me
There for me
there for me

Even when I can't be there for you
I can't be there




Even when I can't be there for you
You're always there for me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nick Carter's song "There For Me" express gratitude towards a person who has been a constant support through thick and thin, never giving up on the singer even when he has nothing to offer in return. The singer, possibly a troubled person, acknowledges that life with him has not been easy and that it takes a special kind of love to stick around. The lyrics also indicate that the singer has realized his shortcomings and seeks forgiveness for not being able to reciprocate the love and support he has been receiving.


The song is deeply emotional and relatable as everyone has that one person who has been there for them through everything. The singer's acknowledgment of his mistakes and efforts to make amends indicate a sense of growth and maturity. The use of repetition in the chorus, particularly the line "there for me," emphasizes the importance of that person's presence in the singer's life.


Overall, "There For Me" is a touching tribute to the resilience of love and the importance of having someone to rely on during difficult times.


Line by Line Meaning

Lately I've been thinking about the things that we've been through
I have been reflecting on our shared experiences recently


And I don't know if I'd be here if not for you
I am not sure if I would have made it this far if not for your support


I had to take a little time to try to work things out
I needed some time to resolve my issues on my own


And you should know that I had never meant to let you down
I want you to understand that I didn't intend to disappoint you


Even when I'm not giving enough and I'm taking too much
Although I may be taking more than I'm giving


Even when I got nothing at all and I'm ready to fall
Even if I am at my lowest point and on the verge of collapsing


Even when I can't be there for you
Even if I am unable to support you in return


You're always there for me
You never fail to provide me with your unwavering support

this song is lovely and nick's voice is amazing! love it!

@musiclover_kb4913

This is my first time hearing this song and yeah it's really good. My question is if Melissa is this good of a singer, then why wasn't she a main vocalist in Dream?

@lefrancaisaveclamia

It’s obvious now that Nick is the one who gave her the opportunity and the recognition and she bite him in the ass 20 years later!!

@metroled3608

LOL obvious?! Nope. It's OBVIOUS that BSB's fans are so batshit crazy that they will sit and defend their beloved boys when they don't even know themselves if the accusations are false. You do realize that 98% of rape accusations are true, right? Meaning there's a pretty slim chance Melissa is lying...and since this is the 3rd woman to accuse him, the odds are even slimmer. Nick has admitted himself he abused drugs and alcohol and did shitty things in his younger years, you really think he's incapable of this? Why not, because he's cute and can sing and dance? Pull your head out of this celebrity's ass and realize he's a human, and sometimes humans suck. Alcoholics black out. A lot. He can't even positively say he never did this, tbh, with his history of binge drinking.

Why would Melissa lie about this? For money? She isn't suing him and seems to have no plans to. Fame? Ok then why would she wait 2 decades when he's a hasbeen and she's pretty much unknown (or unremembered)? Also, who wants to be famous for being raped?! I mean, she's married with kids and runs a mom blog and isn't pursuing a public career anymore, why would she want her life exposed like this? She already knew you moron BSB girls would come for her too, and you didn't disappoint. It sucks. YOUR BEHAVIOR is why so many guys think they can get away with whatever when they reach a certain fame level...because they know their army of idiot fans will attack any girl who makes an accusation, whether its true or not, and it'll likely discourage them from coming forward. Thanks for being an enemy to your fellow woman for the sake of a "cute boy". Disgusting.

Probably because the others were jealous and she was also the oldest.
