Why Me ?
Planet P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Earth is turning, why does it go so slow?
Thinking about the girl I left behind
Houston, can you hear me or have I lost my mind?
Why me? Why me?
I was waiting on the pad, all systems were go
The man up in the tower was enjoying the show
Hey let me out of here, what am I here for?
Why me? Why me?
There must be a thousand other guys
Must be some other way to look good in your eyes
Why am I up here? What do they see in me?
Must be one thousand other places to be
Why me? Why me?
The last man to be here was never heard from again
He won't be back this way 'til 2010
Now I'm riding on a fountain of fire
With my back to the Earth, I go higher and higher
Why me? Why me?
There must be a thousand other guys
Must be some other way to look good in your eyes
Why am I up here? What do they see in me?
Must be one thousand other places to be
Why me? Why me?
Take anyone but me, why me?
Take anyone but me, why me?

The lines "And my heart can't stand the strain, and my love won't stand the pain" highlight the emotional toll of the lost love on the singer, and the need to move on.
Overall, the lyrics of "Why Me" suggest a deep sense of heartbreak and loss, as the singer grapples with the aftermath of a failed relationship.

Line by Line Meaning
Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I used to wait for you, but it feels like a distant past now
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
I desired you strongly and couldn't bear the thought of losing you
You know I never got by, I feel it too
You and I both know that I struggled to move on from you
And I guess I never could stand to lose
I could never accept the idea of losing you
It's such a pity to say Goodbye to you
It's unfortunate, but I have to say farewell
Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you?
I wonder if I could love someone who is similar to you
I remember the good times baby now and the bad times too
I recall both the happy and difficult moments we shared
These last few weeks of holdin' on
I have been clinging onto hope for the past few weeks
The days are dull, the nights are long
My days are uneventful, and the nights seem endless and sleepless
Guess it's better to say Goodbye to you
I suppose it's best to bid you farewell
Cause baby, it's over now
Our relationship is over
No need to talk about it, it's not the same
There's no point in discussing our broken relationship because it can never be the same
My love for you's just not the same
My affection for you has changed
And my heart can't stand the strain
The emotional burden is too much for me to bear
And my love won't stand the pain
My love for you can't endure the hurt anymore
Goodbye baby, So long, darlin', Goodbye to you
Farewell my love, goodbye to you

Is it crazy that I'd put Tony Carey in my top 100 rock singers of all time!? His voice is so clean, yet he still has that aggressive edge. I love his guitar-driven songs like this one. Most of his hits in Planet P and solo were super catchy. The guy is seriously underrated in my opinion.
