Don't Worry 'Bout Me
Letting Go with Grace: Embracing Life Beyond Love
Lyrics
Don't worry 'bout me
Expressing a desire for the listener not to be concerned about the speaker.
I'll get along
Assuring the listener that the speaker will manage or cope.
Forget about me
Encouraging the listener to put the speaker out of their mind.
Just be happy my love
Suggesting that the listener should focus on their own happiness.
Let's say that our little show is over
Imagining the end of a shared performance or relationship.
And so the story ends
Declaring the conclusion of the story or relationship.
Why not call it a day the sensible way
Proposing a sensible and amicable end to the situation.
And still be friends
Suggesting the possibility of maintaining a friendship after the relationship ends.
Look out for yourself
Advising the listener to prioritize their own well-being.
That should be the rule
Proposing a self-oriented approach to life.
Give your heart and your love
Encouraging the listener to give their heart and love freely.
To whomever you love
Expressing that love should be directed towards whoever the listener chooses.
Darlin' don't be a fool
Warning against foolishness in matters of the heart.
Why do we cling to this old faded thing
Questioning the attachment to a past, faded relationship.
That used to be
Describing a relationship that has lost its vibrancy.
So if you can forget
Encouraging the listener to forget if they are able to.
Then don't worry 'bout me
Reiterating the plea for the listener not to worry about the speaker.
Why should we cling to some old faded thing
Repeating the questioning of attachment to a faded relationship.
That used to be
Reiterating the description of a relationship that has lost its vibrancy.
So if you can forget
Emphasizing the encouragement to forget and move on.
Then you don't worry 'bout me
Repeating the assurance that the listener should not worry about the speaker.
