The Same
Love Betrayed: Unforgivable Deceit in Julio Mena's 'The Same'
Lyrics
Somebody told me that they saw you
Someone informed the speaker that they saw the subject with another person.
With someone else the other day
The subject was seen with someone else on a different day.
They told me that you two were holding hands
Reports indicate that the subject and the other person were holding hands.
And for a fact it wasn't me
The speaker acknowledges that it was not them with whom the subject was seen.
Now right away I said this couldn't be you girl
The speaker expresses disbelief, asserting that the subject wouldn't play such games.
There's no way in this world that you would play these games
A strong denial that the subject would engage in such behavior.
But if it's true baby girl that's cool
If the rumors are true, the speaker remains calm, offering a reaction of acceptance.
I got something just for you
The speaker hints at having something significant to share with the subject.
I'm not anybody's fool
Asserting independence, the speaker declares not to be anyone's fool.
You got me in my feelings right now but I promise when I get thru this I'll never be the same
The subject's actions have deeply affected the speaker emotionally.
Cause what you did is unforgivable
Labeling the subject's actions as unforgivable.
I just pray that this new one that you have will do you the same
The speaker hopes that the new person in the subject's life will treat them similarly.
Do you the same
Expressing a desire for the subject to experience the same emotional pain.
Do you the same
Repetition for emphasis.
I'm driving thru the city thinking of your lies
While driving, the speaker reflects on the lies told by the subject.
When you promised me I was the only one
Recollection of the subject's promise of exclusivity.
I gotta tell you girl you got me good
The speaker acknowledges being deceived by the subject.
You are the reason my love just died baby
Attributing the demise of love to the subject's actions.
You must've thought I was a clown to think you could
Accusing the subject of thinking the speaker is gullible.
Pull the wool right over my eyes
Expressing the subject's attempt to deceive.
The shame of you
Expressing shame and disappointment towards the subject.
You think that you're so good
The subject believes they are skilled in deception.
You're a fool to think that I would've never known
The speaker asserts that they are not naive and would eventually find out.
You got me in my feelings right now but I promise when I get thru this I'll never be the same
Reiteration of the emotional impact on the speaker, with a promise of personal transformation.
Cause what you did is unforgivable
Reaffirming the gravity of the subject's actions as unforgivable.
I just pray that this new one that you have will do you the same
The speaker hopes the subject faces similar emotional consequences in their new relationship.
I hope that he does you the same
Expressing a wish for the subject to experience the same emotional pain in their new relationship.
You got me in my feelings right now but I promise when I get thru this I'll never be the same
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional impact and personal transformation.
Cause what you did is unforgivable
Reiteration of the subject's actions as unforgivable.
I just pray that this new one that you have will do you the same
Hope that the new person in the subject's life treats them similarly.
Never gonna be the same
Declaring a permanent change in the speaker due to the emotional impact of the subject's actions.
Do you the same
Desire for the subject to experience the same emotional pain.
Do you the same
Repetition for emphasis.
I'm never gonna be the same
Final declaration of a lasting change in the speaker due to the subject's actions.
I'm never gonna be the same
Final repetition of the speaker's resolution to never be the same.
