Never Mind Me
Stepson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To want to end it all and end the pain you've shown
I know that you feel like it's all your fault
But it's mine, you know?
I never thought I'd be the same
I cried for weeks, I felt the blame
I'm getting worse and you don't know
I hate myself, I hate you too
I don't know what I did to you?
I'm giving up, I'm letting go
Nevermind, you'll never know
I need you in this moment but you left me all alone
I'm just sitting and waiting by the telephone
It's not like you're dead and it's not like you're dying
But when you told me you loved me, I knew you were lying
I know what it feels like to be left on your own
To want to end it all and end the pain you've shown
I know that you feel like it's all your fault
But it's mine, you know?
You sat at the end of my bed
I'll never forget what you said
You told me you were nothing
And you were better off dead
You said you wanted to try again
Just like your son jumping in front of that train
I saw it, I saw the pain in your face
It only gets worse, it doesn't go away
I can hear you crying and I'm sorry that it hurts
But you can't hear me crying because it's hidden in my shirt
You can't hurt me anymore, I already hurt myself
And I still feel like I'm nothing without you
I gave up on you when you gave up on me
I gave up on you when you gave up on me
I gave up on you when you gave up on me
I lost hope, I let go
I would give up on me too
I gave up on you when you gave up on me
You made me think it was all my fault
You've broken me, you broke my heart
You told me you tried, you told me you'd end it
You told me you loved me and I'd never forget it
You made me think it was all my fault
You've broken me, you broke my heart
You told me you tried, you told me you'd end it
You told me you loved me and I'd never forget it
I'll never forget it
And I'll never forgive you
You're killing me
You've killed yourself
You've killed yourself

Line by Line Meaning
I know what it feels like to be left on your own
I understand how it feels to be abandoned and alone
To want to end it all and end the pain you've shown
To be so overwhelmed with pain that you contemplate suicide
I know that you feel like it's all your fault
You believe that you are responsible for everything that's gone wrong
But it's mine, you know?
But I am actually the one to blame
I never thought I'd be the same
I never expected to feel this way
I cried for weeks, I felt the blame
I cried for a long time and blamed myself
I'm getting worse and you don't know
I am deteriorating and you are unaware
But I'm not angry anymore
But I am no longer angry
I hate myself, I hate you too
I despise both myself and you
I don't know what I did to you?
I am uncertain of what I did to you
I'm giving up, I'm letting go
I'm surrendering and releasing my grasp
Nevermind, you'll never know
It doesn't matter, you will never find out
I need you in this moment but you left me all alone
I require your presence, but you have deserted me
I'm just sitting and waiting by the telephone
I am simply sitting and anticipating a call from you
It's not like you're dead and it's not like you're dying
You are not deceased nor are you in any danger of being so
But when you told me you loved me, I knew you were lying
Yet when you professed your love for me, I was aware it was untrue
You sat at the end of my bed
You remained at the foot of my bed
I'll never forget what you said
I will always recall what you said
You told me you were nothing
You informed me that you were of no worth
And you were better off dead
And that you would be better off dead
You said you wanted to try again
You stated that you wished to give it another shot
Just like your son jumping in front of that train
Similar to how your son committed suicide by jumping in front of a train
I saw it, I saw the pain in your face
I witnessed it, I observed the agony on your countenance
It only gets worse, it doesn't go away
The pain only becomes more severe, it doesn't vanish
I can hear you crying and I'm sorry that it hurts
I can sense your sorrow and I'm apologetic that it is causing you pain
But you can't hear me crying because it's hidden in my shirt
Yet you are unable to hear my sobs as they are concealed beneath my clothing
You can't hurt me anymore, I already hurt myself
You no longer have the capacity to hurt me because I have already harmed myself
And I still feel like I'm nothing without you
And I still have a sense of worthlessness and emptiness without you
I gave up on you when you gave up on me
I abandoned you when you abandoned me
I lost hope, I let go
I became hopeless, I relinquished control
I would give up on me too
I would also surrender hope in myself
You made me think it was all my fault
You convinced me that I was to blame for everything
You've broken me, you broke my heart
You have shattered me, you devastated my heart
You told me you tried, you told me you'd end it
You stated that you attempted, you professed that you would put an end to it
You told me you loved me and I'd never forget it
You professed your love for me and claimed it would always remain with me
I'll never forget it
I will always remember it
And I'll never forgive you
Yet I will never pardon you for what you have done to me
You're killing me
You are causing my demise
You've killed yourself
You have caused your own demise
You've killed yourself
You have caused your own demise
