- Not For Me Lyrics / with translationsBirds sing for everyone but me for me it rains
And I can't hear the music for the pain
I see such happiness for some but not for me
With love I always try so hard to get it right
I find it gone just when I think I might
Regretfully I see it last for some but not for me
Out of reach of all the things I want to have and hold
I've come to just accept that's how it goes
I've come so close
Not for me it's not for me to question I suppose
But I keep wondering what the future holds
Why must it be
That life's so sweet for some but not for me not for me
[ dobro ]
Birds sing for everyone but me for me it rains
And I can't hear the music for the pain
I see such happiness for some but not for me
For me it rains there's only pain it's not for me
And I can't hear the music for the pain
I see such happiness for some but not for me
With love I always try so hard to get it right
I find it gone just when I think I might
Regretfully I see it last for some but not for me
Out of reach of all the things I want to have and hold
I've come to just accept that's how it goes
I've come so close
But I keep wondering what the future holds
Why must it be
That life's so sweet for some but not for me not for me
[ dobro ]
Birds sing for everyone but me for me it rains
And I can't hear the music for the pain
I see such happiness for some but not for me
For me it rains there's only pain it's not for me
