Lyrics
A silly girl I run around and never know my reasons
A confession of being impulsive without clear reasons.
And though you're laughing with me I know what you say about me
Awareness of others talking behind the speaker's back despite appearing friendly.
I can't explain, it's not your business anyway
Refusal to explain personal matters as it's not the listener's concern.
So don't say you understand
Advising against claiming understanding without genuine comprehension.
And don't pretend you're on my side
Warning against pretending to support when not truly on the speaker's side.
And I remember when you hated her for sleeping next to him
Recollection of past resentment towards someone close for their actions.
I see your smiling face but I know you've done worse to me
Acknowledging a smiling facade while suspecting worse intentions.
You hypocrite,
Directly addressing someone as a hypocrite.
Don't talk to me
Requesting the hypocrite not to engage in conversation.
'Cause you're not fit to know me
Stating that the hypocrite is not worthy of knowing the speaker.
So don't pretend
Advising against pretending to be a friend.
That you could've ever been a friend
Rejecting the possibility of the hypocrite ever being a true friend.
And still I'm sure you think it's OK
Expressing a belief that the hypocrite justifies their actions.
What you've done to me
Reflecting on the perceived mistreatment by the hypocrite.
'Cause I'm so bad to him
Indicating that the speaker is being blamed for someone else's actions.
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie
Rejecting attempts to hide behind lies.
I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie
Asserting knowledge of the hypocrite's character and loyalties.
The silly girls we run around and never know our reasons
Generalizing the tendency of people, including the speaker, to act without clear reasons.
And though I understand I guess I'll say that you betrayed me
Expressing understanding of betrayal despite personal shortcomings.
I'm a hypocrite,
Acknowledging personal hypocrisy, both criticizing and struggling to accept criticism.
I dish it out but I can't take it
Admitting a double standard of criticizing others but struggling to handle criticism.
I know you think it's wrong
Recognition that others may perceive the speaker's actions as wrong.
And maybe you're right but this is my song
Defending the expression of personal feelings through the song.
And still I'm sure you think it's OK
Reiteration of the belief that the hypocrite justifies their actions.
What she did to me
Highlighting perceived mistreatment by another individual (she).
'Cause I'm so bad to him
Emphasizing the speaker being blamed for mistreating someone else (him).
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid smile
Rejecting attempts to hide behind a deceptive smile.
I know our kind and I know where our loyalties lie
Reasserting knowledge of shared characteristics and loyalties.
