Throw Away Love
Unveiling the Bittersweet Journey of Throw Away Love
Lyrics
Now you're mad at me
Expressing the listener's current emotional state of anger.
Bet you thought this couldn't be
Suggesting a surprise or disbelief about the current situation.
Have I broken your image of
Questioning if the listener's perception of the speaker has been shattered.
Obligatory requited love
Referring to love that is expected and reciprocated as a duty.
When we were twenty-three
Recalling a specific time in the past when both were 23 years old.
I took everything you'd said to me
Reflecting on conversations and interactions at age 23.
Wrote it down, carried it around
Documenting and carrying the memories until they faced consequences.
Til it eventually reached impound
Suggesting that the memories have led to negative outcomes.
Yeah we eventually reached impound
Emphasizing the eventual negative consequences of their actions.
And now you're mad at me
Reiterating the listener's current state of anger.
And I'm no longer twenty-three
Indicating a change in age and possibly maturity since the past events.
I hope you aim to steer free
Expressing a desire for the listener to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Of doing to someone what you did to me
Advising against hurting others in the same way the speaker was hurt.
Your friends I thought they were mine too
Referring to mutual friends who are now siding with the listener.
Turned out they left along with you
Revealing the loss of friends along with the end of the relationship.
Now I'm a living example of
Describing the speaker's current state as a result of the failed love.
Throw away love
Introducing the theme of disposable or transient love.
But now can't you see
Asking the listener to recognize their own mistakes or faults.
How you tripped over your own two feet
Pointing out a specific error or misstep made by the listener.
Baby you got what you bargained for
Stating that the listener is facing the consequences they expected.
We all changed the locks on our doors
Highlighting a collective decision to protect against further harm.
You ain't leavin til you grow up some more
Implying that personal growth is necessary before leaving the situation.
