Not Me
Nina Nesbitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up from this bad dream.
You being with someone else,
Cause you're always with me
I only pushed you away,
Hoping that you'll come back someday, soon
But you couldn't care less,
So you're holding her,
But it doesn't feel the same
When your life starts to hurt
But you're the one to blame
When you're chasing love
But you also run away
Just remember you let go,
Not me.
Say this was love not hate,
I don't hate you at all,
Just tell me your world has changed, hey
From 'We Both had it all'.
I only pushed you away
Hoping that you'll come back someday, soon.
But I'll tell you, I won't wait,
So don't keep thinking that I'm here,
For you.
So you're holding her,
But it doesn't feel the same
And your life starts to hurt
But you're the one to blame
When you're chasing love
But you also run away
Just remember you let go.
Not me.
Now what's the point in trying,
Wasting time and lying
I'd set me free.
Now what's the point in trying,
Wasting time and lying,
Don't come running back, running back to me. x15
So you're holding her,
But it doesn't feel the same
When your life starts to hurt
You're the one to blame
When you're chasing love
But you also run away
Just remember you let go,
Not me.
Not me.x3
Just remember you let go. x2
Not me.
The lyrics of Nina Nesbitt's song "Not Me" depict a brokenhearted person who is struggling to come to terms with a relationship that has ended. The opening lines convey a sense of disbelief and shock, as the singer wakes up from what seems like a bad dream, only to realize that her partner is now with someone else. She is confused by the fact that he is always with her and wonders how he could have moved on so quickly. The chorus is a poignant reminder that the singer did not let go of the relationship - her partner did. She had pushed him away, hoping he would come back one day, but he didn't care enough to fight for their love. Now, he is with someone else, and the singer is left to deal with the pain and heartache on her own.
The second verse of the song is a plea from the singer to her former partner to tell her if his world has changed since they were together. She still has feelings for him and wants to believe that he does too. However, she is also aware that she cannot wait for him forever and must move on with her life. The repetition of the line "Just remember you let go, not me" drives home the point that the singer is not the one who gave up on their relationship. She is ready to let him go and move on, but he must also accept responsibility for his actions.
Overall, "Not Me" is a poignant and relatable song about heartbreak and moving on. The lyrics capture the pain, confusion, and anger that often accompany the end of a relationship, and the singer's raw emotions make the song all the more powerful.

Keep trying to pinch myself
I can't believe this is happening and hope it's just a dream.
Wake up from this bad dream.
I can't believe you would be with someone else.
You being with someone else,
It hurts to see you with someone else because we were always together.
Cause you're always with me
We spent so much time together, it feels like a betrayal.
I only pushed you away,
I didn't really want to break up, I just wanted to see if you would come back to me.
Hoping that you'll come back someday, soon
I'm not ready to give up on us yet and want you to realize how much you really love me.
But you couldn't care less,
You don't seem to care about me or us anymore.
As my tears are falling down, on your chest.
You're not even comforting me when I cry, despite how close we used to be.
So you're holding her,
You're with someone else now, and it hurts to see that.
But it doesn't feel the same
Being with her must not compare to our relationship.
When your life starts to hurt
I'm sure you'll regret leaving me in the long run.
But you're the one to blame
You chose to move on, and you'll have to live with the consequences.
When you're chasing love
You're trying to find love, but you don't realize what you already had.
But you also run away
You're not willing to put in the work to make our relationship better.
Just remember you let go,
You're the one who ended our relationship, not me.
Not me.
I didn't want to end things, but you left me with no choice.
Say this was love not hate,
I want to believe that our feelings for each other were genuine.
I don't hate you at all,
Despite everything, I still care for you and don't feel any anger towards you.
Just tell me your world has changed, hey
If you really want to come back to me, you have to show me that things will be different this time.
From 'We Both had it all'.
We used to have something special, and I'm not ready to give up on that.
But I'll tell you, I won't wait,
I'm not going to sit around and wait for you to come back to me.
So don't keep thinking that I'm here,
I'm not going to be waiting around for you anymore.
For you.
It's time for me to move on from our relationship.
Now what's the point in trying,
There's no reason to keep trying to make this work, it's time to move on.
Wasting time and lying,
I don't want to waste any more time pretending everything is okay between us.
Don't come running back, running back to me.
I don't want you to come back to me if you're not willing to put in the effort to make things better.
Not me.
I'm not the one who ended things between us.
