Lyrics

Look in the mirror I say “come on let’s go”

Expressing a self-encouragement to move forward, likely from a challenging situation.

Already hours late they probably think I’m not gonna show

Suggests the speaker is running late, anticipating negative assumptions from others.

But it’s the first time that I’ll see you since you killed me with goodbye

Reflecting on a past farewell that was emotionally impactful, setting the tone for the reunion.

I don't wanna replay all those feelings when I see you tonight

Expressing a desire to avoid reliving painful emotions when encountering the person again.


But when I walk in and I look at you

Upon arrival, observing the ex-partner engaged in conversation with someone new.

See you talking to someone new

Emphasizing the detachment and lack of emotional response to seeing the ex with someone else.

I feel nothing, nothing at all

Affirming a lack of emotional impact or residual feelings upon seeing the ex-partner.


I must be moving on

Indicating a realization or decision to move forward and let go of past emotions.

It’s been a minute but I think I’m done

Suggesting a sense of closure, possibly after a significant amount of time has passed.

No longer clinging onto what went wrong

Expressing a willingness to release attachment to negative past experiences.

Guess you were never the one, the one, the one

Concluding that the ex-partner was not the right person for a lasting relationship.


Look how far I’ve come

Highlighting personal growth and progress since the breakup.

No longer cursing when I hear our song

Acknowledging a change in reaction to shared memories, moving away from negative emotions.

Thought I’d be hurting but the feelings gone

Surprised by the absence of lingering pain, signaling emotional healing.

Guess you were never the one, the one, the one

Reiterating the realization that the ex-partner was not the ideal match.


Look in mirror I say “uh thank god”

A sense of relief expressed upon realizing the speaker no longer desires the ex-partner.

No longer want ya it’s the moment that I’ve been dreaming of

Highlighting a long-awaited moment of moving on from the past relationship.


I thought I’d breakdown, crying on the floor, but that’s not me tonight

Contrasting expectations of breaking down with the actual feeling of empowerment and joy.

No I’m top of world out with my girls we’re gonna have a good time

Emphasizing a positive, empowered state while enjoying time with friends.


Cos when I walk in and I look at you

Reiterating the lack of emotional response when seeing the ex-partner with someone else.

See you talking to someone new

Observing the ex-partner engaging with someone new without emotional attachment.

I feel nothing, nothing at all

Affirming the absence of emotional impact upon seeing the ex-partner.


I must be moving on

Confirming a commitment to moving on and letting go of the past.

It’s been a minute but I think I’m done

Indicating a significant amount of time has passed since the breakup.

No longer clinging onto what went wrong

Expressing a release from holding onto negative memories or regrets.

Guess you were never the one, the one, the one

Reiterating the realization that the ex-partner was not the right match.


Look how far I’ve come

Highlighting personal growth and positive changes since the end of the relationship.

No longer cursing when I hear our song

No longer negatively affected when hearing a song associated with the ex-partner.

Thought I’d be hurting but the feelings gone

Unexpectedly free from the anticipated pain, indicating emotional healing.

Guess you were never the one, the one, the one

Reaffirming the conclusion that the ex-partner was not the right person for a lasting relationship.

Never the one

The title phrase, emphasizing that the ex-partner was never the right one.


Shut the door and left the party

Describing leaving a social event unexpectedly, deviating from expectations.

Not the way I thought I would be

Reflecting on the unexpected turn of events and deviation from initial expectations.

Finally see the best is still yet to come

A positive realization that the best experiences are yet to come in life.

Now I know you were never the one

A final affirmation that the ex-partner was not the right one for the speaker.
