Over Yourself
Breaking Free: Escaping Love's Illusions
Lyrics
the last of the roads that i drove down
The speaker reflects on the last roads they traveled to leave a town.
to finally make my way out of your town
Leaving the town was a significant step for the speaker.
since i caught you in a different light
The speaker noticed a change in their perception of someone.
don’t try to tell me that things will be fine
The speaker rejects optimistic reassurances about the situation.
everyday i feel it
The speaker experiences a persistent emotion each day.
feel it when i'm leaving
Feeling intensifies when leaving, indicating emotional conflict.
tell me is it really
Questioning the authenticity of a situation or relationship.
the end
The speaker contemplates if this is the conclusion of something.
cos i don’t think I’m ready
Expressing hesitance or unpreparedness for a certain event.
unless you’re gonna let me
Conditionally willing to accept a situation if certain conditions are met.
leave again
Expressing a desire to leave again, suggesting an unsettled state.
why don’t you
A rhetorical question, urging someone to understand or perceive.
realise, realise, realise
Repeatedly urging realization, emphasizing the importance of understanding.

to a couple of guys
Questioning if the current situation aligns with expectations.
is this everything you wanted it to be?
Wondering if the achieved result matches initial desires.
getting over yourself
Suggesting difficulty in moving past one's own ego or self-centeredness.
seems so out of reach
Expressing the perceived challenge of overcoming self-centeredness.
i miss you calling me up
Nostalgia for the past when receiving calls from a specific person.
but now you’ve fallen in love
Recognition that the person has now found love with someone else.
tell me was it enough
Questioning if the past connection was sufficient or fulfilling.
i miss you calling me up
Similar to line 19, expressing the longing for past communication.
but now you’ve fallen in love
Reiteration of the person's new romantic involvement.
tell me was it enough
Repeating the question about the satisfaction of past interactions.
oh everyday i feel it
Reiteration of the persistent emotion felt daily by the speaker.
feel it when i'm leaving
Emotional intensity while leaving is reiterated.
