This Time
Heartbreak Harmony: Jammabands' Emotional Journey in 'This Time'
Lyrics
Thought I had it right this time
Expressing disappointment or regret for thinking things were right in the current situation.
If you ain't gone' do it, why try?
Questioning the point of making an effort if the other person is not committed.
for you, you know I would let it fly
Expressing willingness to overlook flaws or mistakes for the sake of the relationship.
I've never been good at the goodbyes but you are
Acknowledging difficulty in handling goodbyes, contrasting it with the ease the other person exhibits.
You are
Emphasizing the distinctive nature of the other person's ability to say goodbye.
Why'd I let you take my heart
Regretting the decision to allow the other person into their emotional space.
It was wrong right from the start
Recognizing that the relationship was flawed from the beginning.
Can't be mad, I did my part
Accepting their own role in the situation without harboring resentment.
How could you do that to me then act like it's nothing?
Expressing betrayal and confusion about the other person's actions.
Now you're tryna be something with someone else
Observing the other person attempting to establish a connection with someone else.
Got me wishing you knew just how I felt
Wishing the other person understood the depth of their emotions.
Nah, how you gone' say that I played you
Denying accusations of playing games with the other person's feelings.
Going round' telling everyone you know
Addressing false narratives spread about their actions.
Deep down, knowing that it ain't true
Admitting the internal awareness that the accusations are untrue.
I done lost my mind now you took control
Feeling a loss of control due to the other person's influence.
Doing anything just to get your attention
Describing efforts made to gain the other person's attention.
Yeah I was hoping I would see you in my mentions
Expressing hope to be noticed, especially in a public forum like social media.
But if it's over, is it better do you reckon?
Questioning whether moving on is a better option.
Said I don't know yet but I'll take it as a lesson
Acknowledging uncertainty but accepting the experience as a learning opportunity.
Said I don't know how you do it
Expressing confusion about the other person's actions.
I heard you been acting hella ruthless
Referring to rumors or evidence of the other person's harsh behavior.
Disregard your feeling but the truth is
Highlighting the contradiction between actions and true feelings.
You won't find no one who gone' give you love like I did
Asserting that the love given was unique and irreplaceable.
Heard you on that timing
Noting the other person's change in behavior and attitude.
Go while smiling
Describing the other person's departure with apparent contentment.
Yeah you left me deciding in silence
Reflecting on the impact of the other person's departure in silence.
Nah, how you gone' say that I played you
Reiterating the denial of playing games with the other person's feelings.
Going round' telling everyone you know
Addressing the spread of false information about their actions.
Deep down, knowing that it ain't true
Acknowledging the internal awareness that the accusations are untrue.
I done lost my mind now you took control
Expressing a sense of losing control due to the other person's influence.
Thought I had it right this time
Repeating the initial disappointment or regret for thinking things were right.
If you ain't gone' do it, why try?
Reiterating the questioning of efforts when commitment is lacking.
for you, you know I would let it fly
Reaffirming the willingness to overlook flaws or mistakes for the sake of the relationship.
I've never been good at the goodbyes but you are
Restating the difficulty in handling goodbyes, contrasting it with the ease the other person exhibits.
You are
Emphasizing the distinctive nature of the other person's ability to say goodbye.
Why'd I let you take my heart
Regretting the decision to allow the other person into their emotional space.
It was wrong right from the start
Recognizing that the relationship was flawed from the beginning.
Can't be mad, I did my part
Accepting their own role in the situation without harboring resentment.
