What About Me
Unrequited Love: What About Me by Don Gibson Explored
Lyrics
You're happy, now it's plain
You appear content, and it's evident
To see you're not concerned with your old used to be's
You seem indifferent to your past relationships
You could at least show some sympathy
It would be considerate to express some understanding or compassion
You're happy I see, what about me?
You are happy, but what about my feelings?
You pass me by with your head up high
You walk past me confidently
You've known regrets since we said goodbye
You have no remorse since our parting
You've got no heartaches or misery
You don't experience heartaches or sorrow
You're happy I see, what about me?
You're joyful, but what about my emotions?
What about me? What about me?
A repeated expression questioning concern for oneself
Those sweet words you said
The affectionate words you spoke
Were just words to deceive
Turned out to be insincere
What about me? What about me?
A reiterated query about one's own well-being
I'm left with the promises you didn't keep
I am left with unfulfilled promises
Someday you may find a love untrue
In the future, you might experience a similar unfaithful love
You'll feel the same way I feel about you
You will understand my current sentiments
You could at least show some sympathy
Reiterating the need for empathy or understanding
You're happy I see, what about me?
You're happy, but what about my feelings?
You could at least show some sympathy
Emphasizing the desire for compassion
You're happy I see, what about me?
You're joyful, but what about my emotions?
What about me?
A final repetition questioning concern for oneself
