Cole, Paula - Me Lyrics






I am not the person who is singing,
I am the silent one inside.
I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes,
I just pacify their egos.
I am not my house, my car or my songs,
They are only stops along my way.
I am like the winter, I'm a dark cold female,
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave.

[CHORUS:]
And it's me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying a heart.
I am carrying the rhythm
I am carrying my prayers,
but you can kill my spirit, it's old and it is strong,
And like a mountain I'll go on and on.
But when my wings are folded,
The brightly colored moth blends into the dirt into the ground

And it's me who is my enemy.
Me who beats me up.
Me who makes the monsters.
Me who strips my confidence.
And it's me who's too weak,
And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love.
And it's me who's too weak,
And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love.
But I love

I am walking on the bridge,
I am over the water,
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better.
(Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know)

[CHORUS x2]

    I lost my beautiful Amna. It will be 3 years on April 9. I have to be honest: I’m not a fan of social media. Im not on FB or anything else.but I really need to share her with you. She was 31 years old. She never complained. The only time she cried was when I took her daughter out of school to decorate our Christmas tree. This song. ‘Me’ by Paula Cole is all I have but it everything I need. I miss you so much my beautiful Amna ❤️❤️❤️

    D.... K....

    David King.....Beautiful as you!

    Just continue to be strong and thank God that we as Humans have memory and memories that no one can take from Us.

    This is song reaches the recesses of my soul pulling me through the darkness back into light lifting me up to a place where I can peep through the clouds to see that the sun has risen and I’m locked in the dark ....

  28. S.... F....

    Awesomely Powerful Song!

  29. J.... S....

    the break-down..."I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING BETTERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (if you don't cry when she sings this, you a robot) I don't have much in my life. My family is gone. My friends have moved away, and I feel alone. Music is all I have ever had. This song sums up my life. Thank you, Paula!

  30. J.... S....

    A BEAUTIFUL SONGWRITER!!!!!! AND SINGER!!! VERRRRRY UNDERRATED! and underappreciated, but I'm SURE she doesn't care TOO much! I love you, Paula! Muah!

  31. k.... ....

    Actually there IS a video for this song, and it's fantastic, full of different colored rooms she's singing in. But for some reason it's not on YouTube. You can find it here: http://www.mtv.co.uk/paula-cole/videos/me-0

  32. H.... K....

    Sensational

  33. F.... B....

    Another fave part of this awesome song: "But you can't kill my spirit/It's soaring and it's strong/Like a mountain/I will go on and on!"   GOT THAT, HATERS?!?!

  34. F.... B....

    I can relate to this song so much.  Like so many in this cruel world, I've been beaten down emotionally a number of times in my life.  Often, though, I've been my own worst enemy.  However, 2017 is when the pain ends.  I'm quitting the job I hate and getting into a life that's far better than the one I've living, because I know deserve so much better.  The lyrics "I am walking on the bridge/I'm over the water/And I'm scared as hell/But I know there's something better/Yes I know Yes I know!"  says it all for me.  Every time I hear this part, it makes my cry, but yet is so empowering for me at the same time.  This song is true art and sooo much better than the crap that is put out today.

  35. Q.... R....

    What an amazing voice she has!

  36. J.... W....

    I'm in recovery and I wear this song out when I'm hurting!!! Paula is one of the best vocalists out there and needs more love from critics!!!

  37. D.... P....

    Such a powerful song

  38. A.... B....

    I love Paula Cole and this is her best song ever!

  39. l.... ....

    as a latin person I heard this song many times not putting attention to the lyrics... Yesterday I was retouching some work for a client, and the song popped on itunes, and so I took my time to find the lyrics, only to break in tears... So much truth... Many times we beat our selves, sabotage our dreams... Sometimes we worry too much about stuff that really don't matter, and are too proud to ask for forgiveness or tell the one we love I need you... Thank you Paula, you somehow spoke about me in this song...

  40. L.... S....

    'but its me.. but its me..' the thing is, most dont realize its them! if you can only silence the 'monsters' inside.. imagine how unstoppable we can be..

  41. F.... P....

    my favourite song at the moment.

    F.... P....

    Forgotten Palace
    This is me.

  42. B.... R....

    This Song Is An Anthem For Honesty, Strength And Recovery...

    B.... R....

    In a nutshell!

    B.... R....

    I now dedicate it to Aly Raisman and the other gymnasts staring down Dr. Nassar, Michigan State, the Karolyis, and the United States Olympic Committee.

  43. G.... ....

    Still love this <3 So strong

  44. A.... K....

    This song shows a lack of confidence. It is not good. Nice sound but this depressing.

    A.... K....

    Maybe because we cannot possibly feel confident all of the time?? Do I really have to explain this...She was going through a great depression but if you actually pay attention shes brave and chooses to not give up in the end. She realized that there was a better life waiting for her if only she could cross the bridge.

    A.... K....

    what does your song sound like?
    i can't find it on youtube

    A.... K....

    Ayava Kyavata nice bait

  45. C.... L....

    The lyrics and a couple angel stills is all need for this song anyway. So moving and powerful!

  46. j.... ....

    This is a great song, but I"m surprised that the official music video is unavailable on YouTube - I hope somebody uploads it one day.

    j.... ....

    it used to be. She or her company must have pulled it.

    j.... ....

  82. t.... ....

    Also please don't take it as rude in correcting, I watched the vid in 1998 and watched it again today and just got that the concept was to represent the rainbow...LOL how age and time changes your clarity.. it is so strange.

  83. t.... ....
