Fingers Crossed
Betrayed Love's Deceit
Lyrics
Introduced me to your family
Introduction to the partner's family, a significant step in the relationship.
Watched my favourite shows on your TV
Shared experiences of watching favorite TV shows together.
Made me breakfast in the morning
Expressing care by making breakfast in the morning after partner's work.
When you got home from work
Highlighting the commitment to the relationship by supporting after work.
Making plans to travel 'round the world
Discussing and planning future travels together.
Said we'd always put each other first
Commitment to prioritize each other in the relationship.
Old love songs we used to play to
Recalling old love songs that were once meaningful.
Funny, now I hate you
Expressing a change in feelings, from love to hatred.
Now I remember when you'd call me late at night
Reflecting on past late-night calls and offering advice to the partner.
I gave you my hours and advice on how to fix you
Investing time and effort to help the partner with their issues.
And all your fucking issues
Frustration with the partner's unresolved problems.
And now I don't even miss you anymore
Reaching a point where the singer no longer misses the partner.
So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
Desire to reclaim the emotional investment made in the form of tears.
All the hours spent giving advice
Regret about spending time giving advice.
On how to write your songs
Reference to helping the partner with songwriting.
All you did was prove me wrong
Realization that the partner's actions contradicted promises.
Wish you said you loved me
Wishing for verbal expressions of love that were genuine.
When you didn't have your fingers crossed
Discovering insincerity in past declarations of love.
Should've paid attention to my friends
Regret for not heeding warnings from friends about the relationship's outcome.
Telling me how bad it's gonna end
Acknowledging the foresight of friends regarding the relationship's negative end.
Always giving their opinion
Resentment towards unsolicited opinions from others.
Now I wish I would have listened
Expressing regret for not listening to well-intentioned advice.
I could say I'm sorry but I'm not
Declining to apologize, suggesting the partner's actions are undeserving of remorse.
You don't deserve the one thing that you lost
Asserting that the partner lost something valuable due to their actions.
So I remember when you'd call me late at night
Recollection of past late-night calls and providing advice, even while dealing with personal issues.
And I gave you my hours and advice on how to fix you
Emphasizing the effort invested in helping the partner overcome difficulties.
When I had my own issues
Acknowledging personal struggles while assisting the partner.
Thank god that I don't miss you anymore
Acknowledging a sense of relief and no longer missing the partner.
So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
Reiterating the desire to retrieve the emotional investment made.
All the hours spent giving advice
Expressing regret for spending time offering advice.
On how to write your songs
Referencing assistance in the partner's songwriting, with disappointment in the outcome.
All you did was prove me wrong
Feeling vindicated as the partner's actions prove the singer's initial doubts.
When you said you loved me
Expressing a wish for sincere expressions of love in the past.
Well, you must've had your fingers crossed
Suspecting insincerity in past declarations of love due to crossed fingers.
Your fingers crossed
Repetition of suspicion about insincere declarations of love with crossed fingers.
Your fingers crossed
-When you said you loved me
-Well, you must've had your fingers crossed
-So I want all the tears back that I cried
Reiterating the desire to reclaim emotional investment in the form of tears.
All the hours spent giving advice
Reflecting on the time spent giving advice, now seen as a regret.
On how to write your songs
Revisiting the disappointment in the partner's songwriting and proving the singer wrong.
All you did was prove me wrong
Expressing a desire for genuine expressions of love in the past.
Wish you said you loved me
Reiterating the wish for sincere love declarations without crossed fingers.
When you didn't have your fingers crossed
Highlighting the discovery of insincerity when declarations of love were made.
