Lyrics
So you think you can control me
Feeling a lack of control, addressing someone who thinks they can control the speaker.
Well you're not the boss of me
Rejecting authority, asserting independence from the person trying to control.
You want me by your side
Acknowledging the desire for companionship from the person but expressing unwillingness.
But I don't want that in my life
Rejecting the idea of having the person in their life.
So don't go around showing me like your prize
Resisting being treated as an object or possession, not wanting to be displayed as a prize.
I'm nobody's trophy, she's nobody's trophy
Asserting independence and emphasizing that neither the speaker nor anyone else is a trophy.
I know what you did, I know all about it
Knowledge of the person's actions, possibly betrayal or deceit.
I just didn't think you could hurt me
Surprise and hurt from the actions of the person, not expecting to be hurt by them.
Now baby I'm crying
Expressing emotional pain, possibly as a result of the person's actions.
I'm tired of trying
Frustration and exhaustion from putting effort into the relationship.
Why were you lying to me (Lying to me)
Questioning the honesty of the person and their motives.
I thought we were best friends
Reflecting on a past close relationship, possibly a friendship.
I thought we'd never end
Expressing a belief that the relationship would last forever.
Now you're just someone, someone I don't need
Rejecting the person and asserting independence from them.
You knew you were wrong
Acknowledging the person's wrongdoing and denial of it.
But you deny all of it
Highlighting the person's denial of their actions.
What you want I can't give
Unable to fulfill the person's expectations but being expected to do so.
But you still expected it
Expressing frustration with the person's unrealistic expectations.
So don't go telling people all of your lies
Advising the person not to spread false information about the speaker.
No one believe you, I won't believe you
Asserting that nobody, including the speaker, believes the person's lies.
I know what you did I know all about you
Reiteration of knowledge about the person's actions and character.
So don't try to say I'm the fool
Rejecting the idea that the speaker is foolish in the situation.
Now baby I'm crying
Expressing emotional pain, possibly as a result of the person's actions (repeated).
I'm tired of trying
Frustration and exhaustion from putting effort into the relationship (repeated).
Why were you lying to me (Lying to me)
Questioning the honesty of the person and their motives (repeated).
I thought we were best friends
Reflecting on a past close relationship, possibly a friendship (repeated).
I thought we'd never end
Expressing a belief that the relationship would last forever (repeated).
Now you're just someone, someone I don't need
Rejecting the person and asserting independence from them (repeated).
I want to know
Expressing a desire for information about the person's actions and whereabouts.
Where did you go
Questioning the person's presence during specific times in the past.
All of those times that you lied (That you lied)
Reflecting on the repeated lies of the person.
Were you the one thing
Questioning the significance of the person in the speaker's life.
That I was crazy about
Wondering if the person was a crucial part of the speaker's emotions.
Or was it just a cruel mistake
Considering the possibility that the person's role in the speaker's life was a mistake.
