Lyrics
Thought you liked me I was wrong
Feeling mistaken about the belief that the person liked the speaker
Got my hopes up til I saw her
Having one's hopes raised but then being disappointed upon seeing another person
Thought that you and her were done
Assuming that the person and someone else were no longer together
You still love her though it's been so long
Realizing that the person still has lingering feelings for someone from the past
I never had a chance
Expressing the feeling of never having a romantic opportunity
You never even cared
Noticing a lack of concern or interest from the person
I was always singing the wrong tune
Acknowledging a history of singing about the wrong things in relationships
And though it stings
Despite the emotional pain, expressing happiness for the person
I'm happy for you
Acceptance of the person's choices and well-wishing despite personal hurt
What she put you through
Acknowledging the challenges the person faced in a previous relationship
I won't be there for you
Declaring that the speaker won't be there to support the person romantically
You always seemed to give your all
Recognizing the person's tendency to give their all in relationships
Didn't matter when she finally returned your call
Highlighting that the person's efforts were not reciprocated until later
And I was dreaming all the time
Being in a dreamlike state, possibly with unrealistic romantic expectations
Hoping you were to but it wasn't like mine
Hoping for a mutual romantic connection that didn't materialize
I never had a chance
Reiterating the sentiment of never having a chance romantically
You never even cared
Observing the lack of care or concern from the person
I was always singing the wrong tune
Reflecting on a history of singing about the wrong aspects of relationships
And though it stings
Expressing happiness for the person despite the emotional pain
I'm happy for you
Reiterating acceptance and well-wishing despite personal emotional distress
What she put you through
Acknowledging the hardships endured in the person's past relationship
I won't be there for you
Reaffirming the decision not to be romantically supportive
Buh buh ba-duh
Repeating a melodic refrain, possibly emphasizing the emotional weight of the situation
Buh buh ba-duh ba-dum
-Buh buh ba-duh
-Buh buh ba-duh ba-dum
-Buh buh ba-duh
-Buh buh ba-duh ba-dum
-Buh buh ba-duh
-Buh buh ba-duh ba-dum bah
-I never had a chance
Restating the feeling of never having a romantic opportunity
You never even cared
Highlighting the lack of care or interest from the person
I was always singing the wrong tune
Reflecting on a history of singing about the wrong aspects of relationships
And though it stings
Expressing happiness for the person despite the emotional pain
I'm happy for you
Reiterating acceptance and well-wishing despite personal emotional distress
What she put you through
Acknowledging the hardships endured in the person's past relationship
I won't be there for you
Reaffirming the decision not to be romantically supportive
Won't be there for you
Emphasizing once again the speaker's absence in providing romantic support
Thought you liked me I was wrong
Repeating the initial realization of being mistaken about the person's feelings
