What You Mean To Me
Sterling Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For thinking that you never really knew me at all
I tried to deny you
But nothing ever made feel so wrong
I thought I was protecting you
From everything that I go through
But I know that we got lost along the way
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make that mistake again
You brought me closer to who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Just know that I'm sorry
I never wanted to make you feel so small
Our story is just beginning
We'll let the truth break down these walls, oh yeah
And every time I think of you
I think of how you pushed me through
And showed me how much better I could be
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make that mistake again
You brought me closer to who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see what you mean to me
What you mean to me, yeah
You make me feel like I'm myself
Instead of being someone else
I wanna live that everyday
You say what no one would say
You know exactly how to get to me
You know it's what I need
It's what I need, yeah
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
(I hope you understand)
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make that mistake again
(That mistake again)
You brought me closer to who I really am
So come take my hand
I want the world to see what you mean to me
What you mean to me
The lyrics to Sterling Knight's song "What You Mean To Me" speak to the theme of regret and redemption through a heartfelt apology. The singer acknowledges that the person he is addressing has likely never truly understood him and that he tried to protect them from his personal struggles by pushing them away. However, in doing so, he recognizes that they both lost their way in their relationship.
The chorus is where the singer makes his apology clear: he is sorry for letting them down and promises to never make that mistake again. In fact, he credits the person he is addressing with bringing him "closer to who [he] really am." He recognizes that they have had a profound impact on him, and he wants the world to see and understand that.
Overall, the song is about the power of love and the positive effects that it can have on individuals. It speaks to how the person we love can bring out the best in us and make us strive to be better. The singer's apology is a testament to this, as he acknowledges how much the person he is addressing means to him and how much he values their relationship.
