She Don't Want The World Lyrics

The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up and never lets it show
She can't take much more of this but she can't let it go
And that's okay, she don't want the world

All the things she says
He's just lying there without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream without a place to hide
And that's okay, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?
It's okay, she don't want the world

Those words she never spoke
All her life, her memories of all the times before
She tried to show him love while he would only ask for more
But it's okay, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she's longing for slowly appear
She's seen them all before but somehow, never quite this clear
But she just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?
It's okay, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again, this time to face the day
She swears this time to make it, as she simply walks away
And it's okay, she don't want the world

I can't even TRY to determine the meaning of this song to me because I am floored with how beautiful it is. The track + Brad Arnold's voice just brings me to my knees it's so good. I've always loved 3 Doors Down but this song takes my admiration and respect for them to new heights. Consummate musicians.

My Opinion

omg! it's so sad ans os true song. in the 6th line i thought it's She's just lying there coz if it's He then it changes all the meaning. And the general meaning is quite clear about the woman realized that love and other things in the world are not as she imagined it before like in the movie or in fairy-tales. The world and people are much more usual, cold and egoistic. She afraids of many things and it's better to sleep. Girl!!! You'll ie soon in that way. Well I like to listen to it. I like to pity myself

I think this song is a about a woman that really loves a man, and he doesn't feel the same. And it's hard knowing that, but she just can't bare the thought of not having him. And it's saying that she doesn't want the world, she simply wants to be loved. But, for her, that's no more than a dream. And at the end - "A brand new morning shines, she wakes up alone again, this time to face the day She swears this time to make it, as she simply walks away and it's okay... She don't want the world" Is when she finally realizes she deserves better than that.

This song can mean something different for everyone. My interpretation of the song is about a young girl who thinks she knows what the world is about and once she found out the world is really about she is devastated and shook to her core. Her relationship with the man she is with is complicated and she wants to be with him but sees better for herself without him. He isn't what she dreams her life should be, or she deserves. The man she loves doesn't understand she tried her hardest to show him love the only way she knew how and it wasn't ever good enough so she simply smiled and walked away because she don't want the world.

Ooh i agree with the phil collins thing, i think it's because of the drums lol. i also agree that this is the best song off the album :) even if it is really sad i Love love love the 4th verse and the line "she just smiles" gives me shivers. . . in a good way ofc.

In the meaning i agree with lhet amazing, wonderful, beautiful, awesome,...I just love it :) After the first two or three times I heard it, it was in my head and I can't get it out! And I really like the music when he starts singing "This love she feels..." well, i could listen to it 24 hours a day...

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I'm german =)

@Ihet In general, I agree about meaning of this song. But, I don't think it's a mistake in line #6. And i think it explains a lot. She's lying beside her love who doesn't have strong feelings for her as she has for him... She talks, but there's no one to hear her (he don't listen). He uses her only for one thing, and now, she's realized that... (in the morning she's alone again) Hope this helps. ;)
