What About Me? - Nelson

You begged me to stop my fussin'

There’s something that needs discussin'

You’ve been keeping inside you

And it’s high time I know

There’s no way to break it gently

When you told me forever

It doesn’t mean it wasn’t true at the time

But it’s time for you to go

Am I readin' you right?

Did you just turn out the light at the end

Of our ten year Tunnel of Love?

Yeah, I know it’s your hour of need-

But what about me?

I won’t be the cage that holds you

I won’t be the one who told you

That you’re making a mistake…

No Baby… I’ve never been that kind

And if you’re sayin' that I’ve confined you

By all means go but let me remind you

You can’t change your world as easy

As changin' your mind

What more do I have to give?

Guess I’ll just have to live with the thought

My tears’ll be setting you free

And I hope you find all you seek-

But what about me?

What do you want me to say?

Girl, you’re walking away with

The only dream I ever believed

You’ll be livin' through leavin' us be

But what about me?

Well I know love don’t come guaranteed-

But what about me?
