Back to being strangers
Breaking Free: Rediscovering Independence after Heartbreak
Lyrics
Used to be the one who kept you grounded
Expressing a past role of providing stability and support to the other person.
Until I realized that you pulled me down
Realization that the other person had a negative impact and dragged the speaker down.
Remember all the times you shouted
Recalling instances of heated arguments or conflicts with the person.
It's crazy that I used to stick around
Reflecting on the irony of staying in a toxic relationship despite difficulties.
Now I know it was wrong to forgive
Acknowledging the mistake of forgiving the other person.
I gave in cause I wanted to live
Yielding to the desire for a fulfilling life.
All your problems they caused us to split
Attributing the breakup to the problems caused by the other person.
I won't fall for your shit!
Asserting the decision not to be deceived or manipulated again.
And know we're back to being strangers
Emphasizing the return to a state of being unfamiliar with each other.
Took your pictures out my room
Removing physical reminders of the relationship, like pictures from the room.
Okay true I've burned them all
Admitting to taking extreme measures like burning the pictures.
But what was I supposed to do
Expressing a sense of helplessness in the face of the relationship's end.
'Cause now we're back to being strangers
Reiterating the return to a state of being strangers.
No more pictures on my wall
No visual reminders of the person left on the speaker's wall.
Well at least good for my neighbors
Seeing the positive side of the breakup, at least for the neighbors.
Hope you never ever call
Expressing a desire for no contact from the other person.
'Cause now we're back to being strangers
Reaffirming the return to a state of being strangers.
Don't know you at all
Stating a lack of knowledge about the person.
Back to being strangers
Repeating the theme of returning to a state of unfamiliarity.
Hope you never ever call
Reiterating the desire to avoid communication from the other person.
Life got so much better since you're out of it
Highlighting improvements in life after the person's exit.
I learned to put my self first and I'm proud of it
Embracing self-prioritization and expressing pride in it.
Now it's good vibes that I'm surrounded with
Surrounded by positive vibes and distancing from negativity.
I guess it's goodbye to the counterfeit
Farewell to insincere or fake elements in the relationship.
Glad I'm finally breaking free
Celebrating the liberation from the past relationship.
Won't pick up my phone there is no you and me
Rejecting any attempts at communication or reconciliation.
And know we're back to being strangers
Repeating the return to being strangers, emphasizing finality.
Took your pictures out my room
Continuing the removal of physical reminders from the room.
Okay true I've burned them all
Confirming the extreme step of burning the pictures.
But what was I supposed to do
Justifying the drastic actions taken after the breakup.
'Cause now we're back to being strangers
Reiterating the return to being strangers, emotionally and physically.
No more pictures on my wall
Eliminating visual traces of the person from the speaker's surroundings.
Well at least good for my neighbors
Highlighting the positive impact of the breakup on the neighbors.
Hope you never ever call
Expressing a strong desire for no future contact from the other person.
'Cause now we're back to being strangers
Reaffirming the return to a state of being strangers, emphasizing distance.
Don't know you at all
Stressing the lack of familiarity with the other person.
Back to being strangers
Repeating the theme of returning to being strangers, closing any emotional connection.
Hope you never ever call
Final emphasis on the desire to avoid any future communication or contact.
