Heartbreak's Limit: You Don't Get Two
Lyrics
You can drive yourself to the coast of the Carolinas
You have the freedom to travel to the Carolinas.
You can leave this heartbreak no space town behind ya
You can leave behind a town associated with heartbreak.
You can find somebody new
You have the option to find a new person.
Tell her lies about me and you
You might fabricate untrue stories about our relationship to someone new.
You can set your missing me memories all on fire
You can try to erase memories of missing me by destroying them.
But...
(No specific meaning conveyed in this line.)
You don't get to leave me
You don't have the privilege to leave me and then reach out, claiming a desperate need to see me.
Then call me up and say you're just dying to see me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the idea of being contacted after leaving.
Tell all your friends we're done
You may inform your friends that our relationship is over.
While you're telling me you need me
Suggests hypocrisy in claiming to be done while simultaneously expressing a need for the person.
Nah nah
Dismissal or refusal to engage further.
Boy please
Requesting the boy to stop or reconsider his actions.
Nah nah nah
(No specific meaning conveyed in this line.)
My heart was in your hands
My emotions were entrusted to you.
I gave you one chance
I gave you an opportunity.
And you don't get two
You only had one chance to handle our relationship properly.
Nah nah nah nah
The repetition emphasizes the theme: You don't get a second chance.
You don't get two
-Nah nah nah nah
-Nah we can't get back what we had in your Silverado
-With my hand in the wind and your lead foot on the throttle
-Now the past is in the past
-You pulled the wheel and you made us crash
-You can't fix a heart with a phone call nah
-It don't work like that
-You don't get to leave me
-Then call me up and say you're just dying to see me
-Tell all your friends we're done
-While you're telling me you need me
-Nah nah
-Boy please
-Nah nah nah
-My heart was in your hands
-I gave you one chance
-And you don't get two
-Nah nah nah nah
-You don't get two
-Nah nah nah nah
-You don't get two times at playing your cards
-You don't get two tries at breaking my heart
-You don't get to leave me
-Then call me up and say you're just dying to see me
-Tell all your friends we're done
-While you're telling me you need me
-Nah nah
-Boy please
-Nah nah nah
-My heart was in your hands
-I gave you one chance
-And you don't get two
-(I mean are you kidding)
-Nah nah nah nah
-You don't get two
-(Not in this lifetime)
-Nah nah nah nah
Reiterates the idea that there won’t be another chance in this lifetime.
