Lyrics
When I found out this love's undone
Discovering that this love has ended
I was like a gun
Feeling intense and potentially harmful, like a loaded gun
Sure as it was over
As definite as the relationship being finished
Felt like nothing good could come
Feeling that no positive outcome can arise from this situation
Sure as it's gonna play and play
It's certain that memories or feelings will persist and replay
Like Michael back in the day
Comparing the persistence of memories to Michael Jackson's timeless presence
I'm gonna peel you away
Expressing the intent to remove someone or something from one's life
Now as I begin
Starting the process of distancing oneself from the memories or influence of the person
To wash you off my skin
Metaphorically cleansing oneself from the emotional attachment
I'm gonna peel you away
Continuing the action of removing the person from one's life
'Cause you're not right within
Realizing the person doesn't fit or belong
I love you so
Expressing deep affection for the person
Sometimes love has to let go
Acknowledging that sometimes love requires letting go
So this time don't think it's a lie
Ensuring that the goodbye this time is genuine
I say goodbye
Verbally bidding farewell
Now as I begin
Continuing the process of detachment from the person
To wash you off my skin
Symbolically removing the person from one's existence
I'm gonna peel you away
Continuing to detach because the person doesn't belong
'Cause you're not right within
Realizing the person's presence is not conducive to inner peace
Now it's time
Indicating it's time to start afresh
To wash you off my skin
Continuing the process of emotional cleansing
Now as I begin
(No specific meaning conveyed)
It couldn't be right
Doubting the correctness of the past relationship
'Cause you're not right within, mmh
Recognizing that the person wasn't right for oneself
I say goodbye
Concluding with a definitive goodbye
