Lyrics

You cut your hair, you dried your tears

You underwent a physical change (cut your hair) and emotional healing (dried your tears).

You look happier than ever

Your external appearance suggests increased happiness.

And I hear he's nice and treats you well

There's information that your new partner is kind and treats you well.

I wish that I had loved you better

Expressing regret for not having loved you better in the past.


'Cause it feels like I'll never get over you

Struggling to move on; it feels like getting over you is impossible.

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

Feeling lost and unsure about what actions to take.


So I stay out late with all your friends

Engaging in nightlife activities with mutual friends to cope.

And I get so drunk that I pretend

Using alcohol to escape reality and pretend not to miss the past.

That I don't miss all the good things that we had

Pretending to ignore the positive memories of the past relationship.

'Cause I heard you found somebody else

Learning that you've found someone else, causing emotional pain.

And it breaks my heart and hurts like hell

The news is heartbreaking and intensely painful.

'Cause I know that I will never get you back

Realizing the impossibility of rekindling the relationship.

Wish that I could make you sad

Expressing a desire to see you experience sadness.

Wish that I could make you sad

Reiterating the wish to evoke sadness in you.


I kissed someone in front of you

Attempting to make you jealous by kissing someone in your presence.

Just to try to make you jealous

Intentionally trying to provoke an emotional response from you.

But you don't care, you don't cry

Observing that you remain emotionally unaffected.

And there's nothin' I can do to change your mind

Feeling powerless to change your mind or emotions.


So I stay out late with all your friends

Continuing the pattern of engaging with mutual friends to cope.

And I get so drunk that I pretend

Using alcohol as a coping mechanism to feign indifference.

That I don't miss all the good things that we had

Pretending not to miss the positive aspects of the past relationship.

'Cause I heard you found somebody else

Reiterating the pain caused by the knowledge of your new relationship.

And it breaks my heart and hurts like hell

The emotional impact is described as heartbreak and intense suffering.

'Cause I know that I will never get you back

Acceptance of the irreversibility of losing you.

Wish that I could make you sad

Expressing a desire to see you experience sadness again.

Wish that I could make you sad

Reiterating the wish to evoke sadness in you.


And I can't believe what I'm going through

Expressing disbelief and self-hatred for the pain of losing you.

I hate myself for losin' you

Intense self-blame for the loss of the relationship.


Ooh, ooh

Repeating a vocal expression of emotional pain.

Ooh, ooh

Continuation of the vocal expression of emotional pain.


So I stay out late with all your friends

Repeating the coping mechanisms with mutual friends and alcohol.

And I get so drunk that I pretend

Continuing to use alcohol as a means of pretending not to miss the past.

That I don't miss all the good things that we had

Pretending to ignore the positive aspects of the past relationship.

'Cause I heard you found somebody else

Reiterating the emotional pain caused by your new relationship.

And it breaks my heart and hurts like hell

The emotional impact is described as heartbreak and intense suffering.

'Cause I know that I will never get you back

Acceptance of the irreversibility of losing you.

Wish that I could make you sad

Expressing a desire to see you experience sadness again.

Wish that I could make you sad

Reiterating the wish to evoke sadness in you.

Wish that I could make you

Expressing the desire to be the cause of your sadness.

Wish that I could make you sad

Reiterating the desire to be the cause of your sadness.
