What About Me
Whinnie Williams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you look at me so full of regret
You only love me on the Internet
Your heart's in the right place but I'm out of time
I know blood's thicker but it's dragging me down

Cause loving you has never been easy
I'm standing here but you never see me
Do you ever stop to wonder

Why I still don't pick up the phone
This time
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me
I've cried
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me
I'm tired
I'm losing my grip, you're making me slip
So this time
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me

Little white rabbit can you hear my heart race
I could be magic or a meal on your plate
Let's not pretend like we ain't been here before
I spilt the milk so what you crying for

Cause loving you has never been easy
And living with you, it fucking killed me
And do you ever stop to wonder
Why I still don't pick up the phone

This time
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me
I've cried
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me
I'm tired
I'm losing my grip, you're making me slip
So this time
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me

I know you can't tell me my favorite song
Yeah yours is the Prince one
I can't keep riding in circles no more
Cause I'm gonna fall off

This time
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me
I've cried
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me
I'm tired
I'm losing my grip, you're making me slip

So this time
Yeah what about me, yeah what about me this time

Overall Meaning

In "What About Me" by Whinnie Williams, the singer confronts her partner who only seems to care about her online and not in real life. She asks why he looks at her with regret and mentions that even though his heart is in the right place, she feels like she's running out of time in their relationship. The idea of family loyalty and blood relations is touched upon but the singer feels like it's dragging her down. She then expresses that loving this person has never been easy and although she's standing right in front of him, he never really sees her or considers her emotions. She wonders if he ever stops to think about why she still doesn't pick up the phone.
