My Dilemma
Selena Gomez & the Scene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me so upset sometimes
I feel like I could lose my mind,
The conversation goes nowhere
Because you're never gonna take me there

And I know, what I know
And I know you're no good for me
Yeah I know, what I know
And I know it's not meant to be

Here's my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My-my-my dilemma
From the moment I met ya
I just can't get you out of my head

And I tell myself to run from you
But I find myself attracted to my dilemma,
My dilemma, it's you, it's you
Your eyes have told a thousand lies
But I believe them when they look in mine,
I heard the rumors but you won't come clean
I guess I'm hoping it's because of me

And I know, what I know
And I know you're no good for me
Yeah I know, what I know
And I know it's not meant to be

Here's my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My-my-my dilemma
From the moment I met ya
I just can't get you out of my head

And I tell myself to run from you
But I find myself attracted to my dilemma,
My dilemma, it's you, it's you
Woah, I could live without you
Your smile, your eyes
The way you make me feel inside
I could live without you
But I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Oh

Oh, you make me so upset sometimes

Here's my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My-my-my dilemma
From the moment I met ya
I just can't get you out of my head
(Can't get you out of my)
And I tell myself to run from you
But I find myself attracted to my dilemma,
My dilemma, it's you, it's you

(It's you, it's you)
It's you, it's you, it's you, it's you (it's you)
It's you, it's you, it's you





My-My-My Dilemma

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "My Dilemma" by Selena Gomez & the Scene reflects the angst and frustration of being in a difficult or failing relationship. The stress of never reaching any resolution or progress in conversations with the partner makes the singer feel like she could "lose her mind." Despite knowing that her significant other is not good for her, she cannot help but feel attracted and drawn to the dilemma. Her internal struggle is portrayed in the chorus where "One half of her wants ya, and the other half wants to forget." The dilemma here is the painful realization that she needs to let go, but she can't seem to shake the strong feelings she has for this person.


In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that the relationship is based on lies and rumors, but she still holds onto the hope that it's somehow her fault. The lyrics imply that the singer is making the wrong choices based on pure passion and emotion rather than logic and reason. Nevertheless, the listener can sense the deep emotional connection that the singer has with her partner, and it's why she can't seem to break away from the cycle of pain and frustration.

You make me so upset sometimes,
I feel like I could lose my mind.
The conversation goes nowhere,
Cause you’re never gonna take me there.

And I know what I know
And I know you’re not good for me
Yeah, I know what I know
And I know it’s not meant to be

Here’s my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My dilemma
From the moment I’ve met ya
I just can’t get you out of my head
And I tell myself to run from you,
But I find myself attracted to
My dilemma
My dilemma is you

You’re eyes have told a thousand lies
But I believe them when they look in mine
I’ve heard the rumors, but you won’t come clean
I guess, I’m hoping it’s because of me

And I know what I know
And I know you’re not good for me
Yeah, I know what I know
And I know it’s not meant to be

Here’s my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My dilemma
From the moment I’ve met ya
I just can’t get you out of my head
And I tell myself to run from you,
But I find myself attracted to
My dilemma
My dilemma is you

One day I want you, and then I don’t.
I’m gonna leave you, and then I won’t.
I can’t live live with our without ya.
I can’t live live with our without ya.

Here’s my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My dilemma
From the moment I’ve met ya
I just can’t get you out of my head
And I tell myself to run from you,
But I find myself attracted to
My dilemma
My dilemma is you
