Middle of Nowhere Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You left me spinning like a disco
Trying, but I don't know if I can stand straight
You took me left when you knew I was right
And now I gotta fight just to make it through the day

[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew what you were capable of
Baby, I would've kept my heart
But I gave it up, baby, I fell in love
Now I don't know where to start


[Chorus]
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost, trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere

[Verse 2]
You left me broken like a record, baby
I'm, baby, I'm hurt and I don't wanna play anymore
Missed every sign, believed every lie
Whoa, whoa
And I was waiting for more
[Pre-Chorus]
I never knew what you were capable of
Baby, I would've kept my heart
But I gave it up, baby, I fell in love
Now I don't know where to start


[Chorus]
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost, trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere

[Bridge]
You took my heart off my sleeve
But now I'm taking it back, back
Baby, here I come

You took advantage of me
I don't appreciate that, that
You son of a gun


[Breakdown]
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself

Out in the middle of nowhere
[Chorus]
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost, trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

According to Songfacts, this song was written by Espen Lind, who makes up one half of the Norwegian songwriting and music production team Espionage, as well as by Carmen Key, whose credits include Flo Rida’s “Club Can’t Handle Me” and the French producer Sandy Vee.

Selena told Billboard magazine:

“Middle of Nowhere” is also one of my mom’s favorites. She definitely loves jamming out to that song. It’s just beautiful. If you just read the lyrics without listening to the music, it’s really beautiful. I didn’t write that one but it’s gorgeous and I feel like everybody can related to it. Then you add all the fun pop beats and synths behind the song and it just really makes you want to move. It felt like the music and the lyrics worked out so perfectly together.
