From the recording Expecting A Miracle
This song tells the story of someone who misses his opportunity to really show the person he loves how he feels and in doing so misses his chance for a lasting relationship. An old story and a sad one, but he seems to have learned his lesson this time, even if it's too late.
Lyrics
Me, Being Me
I always have believed we were written in the stars
My true love, sure enough, is what you are
But when you needed more from me, I said I needed time
Afraid to show you what I felt inside
So me, being me I put it off another day
And me, being me I couldn't find the words to say
It was my mistake, now it's too late
'Cause you, being you walked away
You always were the one who knew which way to turn
You'd say either way there's something learned
But I was busy standing still, resisting every change
Afraid of something I couldn't even name
Chorus
All I had to do was open up my soul
But I never thought you'd really go
So me, being me I put it off another day
And me, being me I couldn't find the words to say
Oh me, being me I should have begged you then to stay
That was my mistake, now it's too late
'Cause you, being you walked away
