For Me
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's thinkin' 'bout somebody else
But nobody thinks about me
When the time rolls around for me to lay down and die
I bet I'll have to go and hire me someone to cry
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
Nobody is lonesome for me.

Ev'rybody's longin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's dreamin' about somebody else
But nobody dreams about me
All I need is a bride who want's a big-hearted groom
I wouldn't care if she come ridin' in on a broom
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.

Ev'rybody's pinin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's crazy 'bout somebody else
But nobody's crazy 'bout me
Oh, I shined up my shoes and then I slicked down my hair
Put on my Sunday suit, but I ain't goin' nowhere
Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me.

Ev'rybody's yearnin' for somebody else
But nobody's lonesome for me
Ev'rybody's fallin' for somebody else
But nobody's fallin' for me
Now I ain't had a kiss since I fell out of my crib
It looks to me like I been cheated out of my rib




Ev'rybody's lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.

Every time I listen to this all the memories come back and I can't help but to feel a sense of emptiness in my life. ;(

@violetred1997

Jasmine Kaur IKR, this drama is so sad when it comes to the end of it

@Ash_LynxTheAmericanboy

That sad ending makes this drama epic, sadly no one can move on now.

@winterbear5703

feel u

@JeffryOenang

Why don't people Google and try to find out that this kdrama was adapted from the Chinese version title scarlet heart bu bu jing Xin 2011 and had a happy ending. Idk why the Korean changed the ending to be a sad one. Go and watch the Chinese version it has better ending and even had season 2 in 2013

@vaishakpsiva9373

Still haunting

when i first started this series, many of my friends warned me and told me to be prepared. they told me to prepare tissues because i would cry a lot. i just finished this series last night, but i did not shed one tear. you know the feeling of immense pain and grief yet you cant seem to cry? that's how i feel right now. i went to sleep with a heavy heart and i woke up with a heavy heart. i knew the ending wasnt going to be happy, but i'm still so shocked and heartbroken with the way it ended. i don't know if i'll ever be able to get over this sad and tragic story, but in many ways i also do not want to get over it. i want to keep holding on to this heartbreaking story, like how So wanted to hold on to Soo till the end, like how Wook always loved Soo. i never want this song to end, it will be too painful.

@sunny-tn1ix

I know that feeling way too well... I've watched 100 dramas but no other hit me like this one. I did shed a couple million tears though hahaha

@amudo425

@@sunny-tn1ix same here. i shed too many tears the first time I watched it lolll. I just finished rewatching it for the 5th time recently, and remember only crying during Queen Yoo's death and last scene of lonely So. I occasionally rewatch it from time to time when I forget the details of the drama and when I watch it again, that heartbreaking feeling comes right back ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ it hits you differently because now you know how everything falls apart and I even feel like crying during happy scenes in the beginning. i suppose there will be a time where I won't cry at all after rewatching, but I don't want it to come.

@nitiwat_a

Its a perfect heartbreaking story. I just finished it yesterday but it seems to be not finished at all </3
