It Ain’t Me Lyrics – Kygo ft. Selena Gomez
It Ain’t Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Selena Gomez]
I had a dream
We were sipping whiskey neat
Highest floor, The Bowery
And I was high enough
Somewhere along the lines
We stopped seeing eye to eye
You were staying out all night
And I had enough
[Pre-Chorus: Selena Gomez]
No, I don't wanna know
Where you been or where you're going
But I know I won't be home
And you'll be on your own
[Chorus: Selena Gomez]
Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?
Who's gonna rock you
When the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's waking up to drive you home
When you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?
[Drop: Selena Gomez & Kygo]
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
[Verse 2: Selena Gomez]
I had a dream
We were back to seventeen
Summer nights and The Libertines
Never growing up
[Pre-Chorus: Selena Gomez]
I'll take with me
The Polaroids and the memories
But you know I'm gonna leave
Behind the worst of us
[Chorus: Selena Gomez]
Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?
Who's gonna rock you
When the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's waking up to drive you home
When you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you
Through the dark side of the morning?
[Bridge: Selena Gomez & Kygo]
It ain't me, no, no
It ain't me, no, no
It ain't me, no, no
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
[Drop: Selena Gomez & Kygo]
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah
It ain't me
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
Ah oh...
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat (Ah oh...)
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
(It ain't me) Ah oh...
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat (Oh...)
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
No, no, ah-ah, The Bowery
No, no, ah-ah, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
No, no, no, no, no, The Bowery
No, no, no, no, no, whiskey neat
Grateful, I'm so grateful, ah
It ain't me
It Ain’t Me Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "It Ain't Me" by Kygo featuring Selena Gomez explores themes of disillusionment, independence, and moving on from a relationship that has soured. In the lyrics, Selena Gomez reminisces about a past relationship where she and her partner once shared good times but have since grown apart. The setting is described as a luxurious yet distant place, symbolizing the emotional distance between them. As the relationship deteriorates, Selena Gomez expresses her resolve to break free from the toxicity and take control of her own life.
[Verse 1]
Selena Gomez reflects on a dream where she and her partner were enjoying the high life, sipping whiskey in a fancy setting. However, their relationship has soured, as indicated by phrases like "We stopped seeing eye to eye" and "You were staying out all night." Selena Gomez reaches her breaking point, feeling like she's had enough of the dysfunction.
[Pre-Chorus]
Despite the desire to move on, Selena Gomez expresses ambivalence about knowing the details of her partner's actions. She realizes that she no longer wants to be a part of the drama and decides to leave, leaving her partner to deal with their own consequences.
[Chorus]
The chorus poses rhetorical questions about who will support her partner through difficult times now that she's no longer willing to do so. It highlights the dependency her partner had on her for emotional support and companionship. The repetition of the phrase "Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?" emphasizes the sense of abandonment and loss.
[Drop] The drop features a collaboration between Selena Gomez and Kygo, with Selena repeating "It ain't me" to emphasize her newfound independence and refusal to continue enabling her partner's behavior. The reference to The Bowery and whiskey neat serves as symbols of the lavish lifestyle they once shared, now contrasted with Selena's gratitude for being free from it.
[Verse 2]
Selena Gomez recalls happier times in the relationship, when they were young and carefree. However, she acknowledges that she's leaving behind the negative aspects of the relationship, symbolized by leaving behind "the worst of us."
[Bridge]
The bridge reiterates Selena Gomez's declaration that she's moving on and that she won't be the one to support her partner through difficult times anymore.
[Drop]
The final drop reinforces Selena's resolve to break free from the toxicity of the relationship. The repetition of "It ain't me" serves as a mantra of empowerment and liberation, signaling her refusal to be dragged down by her partner's issues any longer.
