MUNA - Anything But Me Lyrics

MUNA Lyrics

"Anything But Me"

You're gonna say that I'm on a high horse
I think that my horse is regular-sized
Did you ever think maybe
You're on a pony
Going in circles on a carousel ride?
You're gonna say I asked for the moon
I think that it's you with your head in the sky
All that I wanted was somebody honest
Living for more than their next good time

You say that you wanna change
Well, I hope you get everything you want
Everything you want
You say that you need relief
Well, I hope you get everything you need
Everything but me
'Cause I don't wanna stick around trying to work it out
When everything feels wrong
Everything feels wrong
But it's all love and it's no regrets
You can call me if there's anything you need
Anything, anything but

Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Anything you need
Anything but me

Go ahead and hate me as long as you need to
Go ahead and break me a piece of your mind
Say I always had one foot out
Well, baby, I got two now
Good thing I've never been afraid of goodbye

You say that you wanna change
Well, I hope you get everything you want
Everything you want
You say that you need relief
Well, I hope you get everything you need
Everything but me
'Cause I don't wanna stick around trying to work it out
When everything feels wrong
Everything feels wrong
But it's all love and it's no regrets
You can call me if there's anything you need
Anything, anything but

Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Anything you need
Anything but me

And sure, it's not all so black and white
Sure, I'm gonna cry
For the love we couldn't keep
But I would rather lose you
Than who I'm meant to be
So you can have anything but

Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Anything you need
Anything but
Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Me, me yeah
Anything you need
Anything but me

"Anything But Me" is the second single from MUNA's studio album "MUNA". The song was premiered on March 16, 2022, accompanied by a music video.

"'Anything But Me' is a song about leaving a partnership simply because it doesn't feel right. It's about trusting yourself and your instincts enough to walk away from someone while you still have love for each other and before it gets too bad. The video for the song plays with the idea that we've been our own captors in relationships, keeping ourselves in unhealthy dynamics, maybe because that's what feels familiar. The song embodies the lightness and a playfulness that floods in when you realize that there's no lock on the door, no one's holding you back — you can untie the knot and skip into the sunset whenever you're ready," stated the band about this song.
