It's Probably Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by BrokenTreeBitterShade 

How come everyone thinks this lyrics is referring to 2 people or friendship ??,

I guess sting is talking about only one person or some loner, no one else, he is lonely and taking care of himself.

I hate to say it I hate to say it, but it's probably me

The biggest clue to the presence of two people is the use of both "you" and "me" in the song. While it's certainly possible for someone to alternate between the first and second person while addressing himself, it's less likely. How often to you call yourself "you" in your own thoughts?

"And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show Some would say I should let you go your way You'll only make me cry"

This suggests to me that it's 2 people and they're very close; perhaps even more than friends.

@BrokenTreeBitterShade I agree and the song echoed that way for me, absolutely. I was very much surprised to read that the intention was another. Well, inspiration goes mysterious ways…
