| Will Young – Who Am I Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This is the song that made me fell in love with Young's music. This song is different from any love ballad that I've listened to before, because it reveals such a painful truth about love that has caused lots of people so many doubts, distrust and miserable endings: we just simply can't devote all of us to our loved ones because we live for ourseleves after all. "Sometimes you know you push me so hard I don't know how I feel" describes a man who is already tired of his girl/boyfriend's will-you-give-me-all-of-you kind of questions. He just doesn't know how to answer. "Maybe I get a little selfish sometimes Why shouldn't I? " says that I am so fed up with your asking me for everything all the time. For example when your girl/boyfriend complains that you don't save the best part of food for her/him, maybe you'll be irritated too because you think you well deserve the treat. IMHO, "selfish" is kind of ironic here - now who's being selfish? The chorus is the most revealing part. If I always say those unrealistic words to you, I'll be lying so I will never be myself. I love you, but it's very possible that I will let you down sometimes, and I can't promise that I will catch you everytime you fall. No man is perfect, and no relationship is perfect. If I spend all my time pleasing you, satisfying you and sacrificing for you, then who am I living for? I've been in several relationships before and I know this feeling very well. I was dating a guy two years ago, but I was so busy then (I love my job very much) and I didn't have enough time for him. Several times I finished my work hastily just to meet him, but when I saw him, all he did was complaining. I just couldn't do it. An absolutely amazing song. Young's voice made it very soft and special. |
