The Other Woman
Navigating Love's Crossroads: The Other Woman's Bittersweet Tale
Lyrics
At the junction of the big surrender
Refers to a critical moment of giving up or yielding in a significant way.
You can't bring yourself to tell her
The difficulty in confessing something to another person.
Old old habits die hard so hard
Highlighting the persistence of long-standing behaviors that are difficult to change.
I could have told you that right from the start
An assertion that certain outcomes were predictable from the beginning.
It's no fun it's no fun being the other woman it's no fun
Expressing the lack of enjoyment or satisfaction in the role of the "other woman."
And I know what's wrong and what is right
Recognition of moral distinctions between right and wrong.
I wonder where you are on some nights
Curiosity about the whereabouts of the other person during certain nights.
New love shines so strong so clear
New love is powerful and clear, providing a contrast to the complexity of the situation.
That's why I'm still standing here
Commitment to the current position despite the challenges.
It's no fun it's no fun being the other woman it's no fun
Reiteration of the lack of enjoyment in the role of the "other woman."
It's no fun it's no fun being the other woman
Continued emphasis on the unpleasurable nature of being the "other woman."
It's no fun anymore you won't run unless you're really sure
Emphasizing that the situation is no longer enjoyable unless there is certainty.
Both hands free and a heart that's tied
Describing a state of having freedom in actions but a heart that is emotionally bound.
I said that I'm easy but I lied I lied I lied
An admission that claiming to be easy was a lie.
There's no chance at all no running risk
Suggesting that there is no possibility of taking risks in the current situation.
You can't lose when it comes down to it
Asserting that there is no loss when making certain decisions.
Old old habits die hard so hard
Reiteration of the persistence of challenging habits.
It's not my first and it won't be my last
Acknowledging that this is not the first time in such a situation and won't be the last.
It's no fun it's no fun being the other woman
Restating the lack of enjoyment in being the "other woman."
It's no fun
Reiteration of the idea that it is not fun.

Re-emphasizing that being the "other woman" is not enjoyable.
It's no fun anymore you won't run unless you're really sure
Repetition of the idea that the situation is not enjoyable without certainty.
Both hands free and a heart that's tied
Restating the contradiction of having freedom in actions but a tied heart.

Reiterating the earlier lie about being easy.
At the junction of the big surrender
Revisiting the critical moment of surrender.
You can't bring yourself to tell her
Re-emphasizing the difficulty in confessing the truth to another person.
Old old habits die hard so hard
Reiterating the challenge of breaking old habits.
I could have told you that right from the start

It's no fun it's no fun being the other woman it's no fun

It's no fun it's no fun being the other woman
Final repetition of the idea that being the "other woman" is not enjoyable.
I don't want you anymore, anymore I lied I lied I lied
Expressing a desire to end the relationship and admitting previous lies.
I don't want you anymore, I wanna be free, free, free
Declaring a wish for freedom from the current situation.
I don't want you anymore, anymore I lied I lied
Repeating the desire to end the relationship and admitting previous lies.
I keep on lying, I keep on wanting you to want me
Admitting a continuous pattern of lying and wanting the other person to desire them as before.
Like you always used to want me
Expressing a longing for the past when the other person used to desire them.
