Madina Lake - Me Vs. The World Lyrics






Sometimes I try not to hate myself
For everything I never said
When you were here
And so I'm burning up photographs
Of what was a perfect past
'Cause I'm still here
But I'm barely holding on

Where did I go wrong
Choking on the difference
Between me and the world
And ever since you've been gone
I've been torn apart
I know that you can't hear me but
I'm still hurt
And I wish you were here

It's so hard that I try to bury it
Pretend that you didn't exist
So I can be strong
But I feel sick
And I feel diseased
'Cause everyone abandons me
And I can't move along
'Cause I'm barely holding on

Where did I go wrong
Choking on the difference
Between me and the world
And ever since you've been gone
I've been torn apart
I know that you can't hear me but
I'm still hurt
And I wish you were here

I can not pretend you didn't exist
Misery is just a state of mind
Hiding from the world's no way to live
So I'll convince myself that I'll be fine
I'll be fine
But since I lost you I'm barely holding on

Where did I go wrong
Choking on the difference between
Me and the world
And ever since you've been gone
I've been torn apart
I know that you can't hear me but
I'm still hurt

So I look up to the stars
And wonder out loud
Why everything I had in life
Has fallen from my arms
Can you even hear this song?
I'm screaming at the clouds
Screaming to a galaxy
That never cared at all
That I need you here

Madina Lake Me Vs. The World Comments
  1. P.... ....

    I remember when my uncles were still making music ^_^ so long ago....... they were on the verge of making it famous :(
    this was one of my favorite songs though :D

  2. C.... ....

    so beautiful

  3. U.... t....

    beautiful song <3

  4. Z.... H....

    My X girlfriend from Britain loved this song... We met on Ourworld and she was awesome... Wish I was in UK when we met. She was into music and played bass. Now I really feel the meaning of this song and feel her pain. Screaming to a galaxy that never carried at all...

  5. R.... ....

    This Song though :/

  6. M.... R....

    Probably my favorite, along with True Love, of all of their work. God, I really miss these guys...hoping for a reunion one day.

  7. A.... ....

    RIP Madina Lake, we River People will never forget you :_: I miss them so much

  8. A.... ....

    YESH fittb I remember seeing Here I stand on MTV it was so epic cause that was the first time I saw them, as in, I got to see the people behind the music.

  9. �.... �....

    Is he sings "I know that you can't hear me but I'm still hurt" or "I know that you can't help me but I'm still hurt" in chorus?

    �.... �....

    Денис Остапенко maybe "I know that you can't heal me, but I'm still hurt"?

    �.... �....

    it's "I know that you can't hear me"

  10. R.... M....

    Is he Scott Pilgrim?

  11. H.... G....

    Why has "This comment recieved too many negative votes"? Thats horrible. Is it now natural to assume that everyone whining about their lives on youtube is just moping for attention? Thats also terrible haha. Well it looks like I'm not posting my situation of how this song relates to me lol

  12. j.... ....

    This is the true tragedy.

  13. S.... K....

    Big fucking deal. Your girlfriend is no longer with you. (his girlfriend)

    I'm sorry, but EVERYBODY has gone through that. Every single human being in existence has lost a loved one.

    S.... K....

    If you understood how much it hurts you wouldn't be saying that

    S.... K....

    Sucks to be alone and a single little bitch huh triggered boy?

  14. S.... K....

    Grow the fuck up. Get over it.

    S.... K....

    Nothing to grow up about. This song is about loss and how it hurts

    S.... K....

    Go suck on a razor blade while getting fucked.

  15. t.... j....

    A man got crowd surfed and fell on my friend while they were playing this

    "Sometimes I try not to hate myself for everything I never said when you were here." Christ, from the beginning to the end, this song digs straight into your heart and scores that dark, red gold inside. The first line is on my binders, notebooks and my FaceBook status... Replay button, you have been raped. Repeatedly.

  47. B.... ....

  66. D.... R....

    the reason all time low is so big is cause there bigger internationally i live in canada and i've heard of them from so many people and now there one of my favrioute bands(i have like 6 favrioute bands) while the only reason i found this band was cause i was doing random searches on wikipedia lol.

  67. D.... R....

    who would you consider as posing fucks?

  68. N.... ....

    Unlike other posing fucks, Madina Lake has their own style and plays with their own feelings.
    \m/

  69. J.... B....

    fan-freakin-tastic band...how is a band like this relatively unknown and All Time Low is so big? Nothing against ATL, I like them well enough, but Madina Lake is way better...

  70. R.... ....

    You, xMidnightWave, have awesome taste in music.

    Greatest band ever. :D

  71. d.... c....

    these are fucking amazing live saw them aloong with papa roach :)and heavens basement :( in rock city amazing

  72. f.... ....

    Actually alot of people know who they are due to their song "Here i Stand" premiering on MTV and Fuse. House of cards and one last kiss unfortuanatley did not. But still a amazing band.

  73. D.... ....

    Nobody knows who Madina Lake is, but they are so awesome =].
