Pay No Mind
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought it was me and you
that we could fulfill a lifetime
and live as lovers do
I was wrong
I'll pay no mind
I'm leaving it all behind
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I'll just pay no mind
I'm letting it go this time
'cause I realize I've come so far
if I start to wonder where you are
I'll just pay no mind
The first couple steps were fragile
till I got on my feet
felt I was walking sideways
looking for my release
lovers come and they go
when they leave
you'll all ever know
Lovers come and they go
when they leave
you'll all ever know
instead of a review
tell you what I'll do
I'll pay no mind
I'm leaving it all behind
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I'll just pay no mind
I'm letting it go this time
'cause I realize I've come so far
if I start to wonder where you are
I'll just pay no mind
I'm still writing love songs
'bout something that's passed me by
I know that I'm stronger
you think that's a lie
but you're wrong
I'll pay no mind
I'm leaving it all behind
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I won't ask you what you feel no more
I'll just pay no mind
I'm letting it go this time
'cause I realize I've come so far
if I start to wonder where you are
I'll just pay no mind
The song "Pay No Mind" by Sarah Brightman is a haunting melody that speaks to the pain of unrequited love. The lyrics speak of a once-believed love that has faded away, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The song deals with the grief of realizing that something that was once cherished is suddenly gone, and there is nothing left to do but move on.
The opening lyrics set the stage for the rest of the song as the singer reminisces about a former love. The lines "I used to believe in something, I thought it was me and you" suggest that the singer thought the relationship was worth fighting for, but it ultimately didn't work out. The chorus, "I'll pay no mind, I'm leaving it all behind," illustrates the singer's decision to move forward and let go of the past. The lines "I won't ask you what you feel no more" show a willingness to accept the end of the relationship even if it means not knowing all of the reasons why it didn't work out.
The second verse talks about the beginning of the singer's journey towards moving on from the relationship. It paints a picture of a shaky start that eventually led to the singer gaining more confidence and stability. The line "lovers come and they go when they leave you'll all ever know" reinforces the idea that relationships are often fickle and unpredictable, and it's best to accept that some things are out of our control.
