Consider Me
Finding Understanding in Hard Times: Consider Me by Mark Lanegan
Lyrics
I know you're tryin to be a big girl
I understand that you're trying to act mature or independent.
And keep the tears from your eyes
Recognizing your effort to hide emotional pain by avoiding tears.
And it's going to be a little hard
Acknowledging that facing challenges will be difficult for you.
To lift your head up high
Expressing empathy for the struggle to maintain self-esteem.
And you're gonna need a man
You might need a supportive man in your life.
A man who'll understand
Emphasizing the importance of a man who can comprehend your feelings.
Whoa darlin darlin darlin
An affectionate plea, asking the person to consider the speaker.
Please consider me
-Well I know that all your friends
Acknowledging that the person has been abandoned by friends.
Have left you all alone
Highlighting the loneliness experienced due to the absence of friends.
And all the good times you had with them are gone
Reflecting on the loss of good times shared with those friends.
So you need yourself a man
