I'd Avoid Me Too
Navigating Self-Reflection: 'I'd Avoid Me Too' by Dwight Yoakam
Lyrics
Here I sit all alone just a wonderin' why
Expressing solitude and contemplation, questioning why.
You must have slipped out while I was high
Suggesting that the person left during a period of intoxication.
I know just how it feels and I'm not blamin' you
Understanding the feeling of being left and not assigning blame.
'Cause if I had to choice, I'd avoid me too
Acknowledging personal flaws and stating a preference for avoidance.
I've heard tell people say, I'm half worth nothin' at all
Addressing rumors or criticism about personal worth.
While that may not be true
Suggesting that despite criticisms, there is some value.
Dead to rights
Confirming a certain level of guilt or wrongdoing.
It sure ain't landin' far wrong
Stating that the wrongdoing is not too severe.
There's little question or none
Highlighting limited options or alternatives in a situation.
Wasn't much you could do
Indicating a lack of control or influence over circumstances.
And if I had the choice, I'd avoid me too
Reiterating the preference for being avoided given the circumstances.
Now I'm having fears and doubts
Expressing feelings of uncertainty and worry.
Right along with everyone else
Implying shared doubts and fears with others.
And here lately, I'm not so sure
Suggesting a reconsideration of one's own worthiness.
I should even be seen with myself
Expressing a lack of confidence in being in one's own company.
But here I sit all alone, just a wonderin' why
Revisiting the theme of solitude and questioning.
I guess you slipped out while I was high
Repeating the notion of someone leaving during a lapse in awareness.
I know just how it feels and I'm not blamin' you
Reiterating understanding and lack of blame for the departure.
'Cause if I had the choice, I'd avoid me too
Restating the preference for being avoided based on personal choice.
If I had the choice
Emphasizing the consistent desire to be avoided if given the choice.
If I had the choice
-If I had the choice
-I'd avoid me too
