Why Not Me
Tasha Page-Lockhart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beautifully broken, perfectly flawed
I don't even know how I made it this far
And I'm asking myself questions like
Why did I do it? Why did this happen to me?
Then I said, "You can get through it, you just have to believe"
What I do now, gotta make it all count
I'm the perfect person to go through the storm
It won't break me, it won't kill me, I'll move on
And then I'll come out even better than before
And I'll never see this place anymore
'Cause my faith is gettin' stronger every day
I'm removin' everything that's in my way
And the fact that I survived another day
Makes me say
Why not me?
Why not me?
Why, why, why?
One day I'm up, the next I'm down
Problems comin' faster than I can count
Who can I run to? No one to talk to
Can't somebody tell me what to do?
Why did I do it? Why did this happen to me
You can get through it, you just have to believe
What I do now, gotta make it all count
So why not me?
I'm the perfect person to go through the storm
It won't break me, it won't kill me, I'll move on
And then I'll come out even better than before
And I'll never see this place anymore
'Cause my faith is gettin' stronger every day
I'm removin' everything that's in my way
And the fact that I survived another day
Oh oh oh, oh oh
This is my moment, there's no turnin' back
It took me a while, but I have no regrets
I've given my all, let go of the past
I'm not gonna break, and I won't be afraid
Oh, this is my moment, this is my time
Just move out my way, 'cause I'm not backin' down
Now that I realize who I am, I'm alive
So why not me?
I'm the perfect person to go through the storm
It won't break me, it won't kill me, I'll move on
And then I'll come out even better than before
And I'll never see this place anymore (more)
'Cause my faith is gettin' stronger every day (day)
I'm removin' everything that's in my way (my way)
And the fact that I survived another day
Makes me say
Why not me?
I'm the perfect person to go through the storm (storm)
It won't break me, it won't kill me, I'll move on (on)
Then I'll come out even better than before
And I'll never see this place anymore
'Cause my faith is gettin' stronger every day (day)
I'm removin' everything that's in my way (my way)
And the fact that I survived another day
Makes me say
Why not me?
Why, why, eh, why?
Why? Oh, why why?
Oh ooh, oh ooh
Oh ooh
Why?
I can make it
I can take it
I won't break
No, no, no, no, no
Oh ooh, oh ooh
Oh ooh, oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Why not me?
The lyrics of Tasha Page Lockhart's song "Why Not Me" tell the story of a resilient person who faces struggles and difficult moments but still holds on to hope and faith. The first verse speaks about looking in the mirror and seeing a girl who is broken but flawed at the same time. The questions come to mind as to why did this happen, why did I do it, and how did I make it this far. However, she decides that she can get through it and comes out better than before.
The second verse discusses the continuous nature of the struggles faced by the person. She experiences problems coming at her faster than she can count and can't seem to find someone to talk to about it all. She remembers that she can get through it if she believes in herself and that what she does now needs to count. The chorus repeats the same message, suggesting that she is the perfect person to go through this tough time and come out even stronger.
The bridge of the song speaks to the idea that this moment is hers, and there is no turning back. She's given all she could, let go of the past, and is not going to break or be afraid. She's realized who she is and is alive. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how her faith is getting stronger every day, she's removing obstacles in her way, and surviving every day, making her state, "Why not me?".
Overall, the song is an anthem for anyone who has faced troubles, challenges, and setbacks in their lives. It encourages the listener to hold on to hope and faith, to believe in themselves and their ability to overcome difficulties and become better than before.
