Unveiling the Masks: A Tale of Deception and Self-Discovery in "That Wasn't Us" by Tate Brusa
Lyrics
She's got blonde hair and never does
Describing the physical appearance of the girl and her rebellious behavior.
What her parents say and it's funny cause
Highlighting the girl's defiance towards her parents' instructions.
I don't think they like me very much well, maybe they think I'm okay
Expressing the singer's perception that the girl's parents may not like him, though he thinks he's okay.
She does well in school but she never tries
Noting the girl's academic success without putting in effort.
Hangs out with hundreds of other guys
Indicating the girl's social behavior, hanging out with many other guys.
Thought we fell in love but it's all a lie
Reflecting on the singer's realization that their love was not genuine.
Guess it's fun to pretend
Suggesting that pretending and playing games in the relationship was enjoyable for the girl.
No need to play games anymore
Declaring an end to playing games in the relationship.
Think I need to walk away
Expressing the need for the singer to walk away from the deceptive relationship.
You've been lying to my face and I'm sick of it all
Conveying the singer's frustration with the girl's lies.
Using all my energy whenever you call
Highlighting the emotional toll of the relationship.
Acting like you're seven go and say it's my fault, it's not working, we're not Working
Accusing the girl of blaming the singer like a child, stating that the relationship is not working.
When we were together, that wasn't who we really were
Reflecting on the deception in their past relationship.
That wasn't us
Emphasizing that the past relationship did not represent their true selves.
That wasn't us
Repeating the assertion that their past relationship was not genuine.
She's got everything you'd ever need
-Green eyes a smile like you've never seen
-You can try to change her personality but nothing's gonna fix it
-You know that wherever she's going
-People follow cause she's already holding
-Onto everybody who steps into her way, I wish that I could show you but I'm Just gonna Say
-You've been lying to my face and I'm sick of it all
-Using all my energy whenever you call
-Acting like you're seven go and say it's my fault, it's not working, we're not Working
-You can try to win me back but I'm already out
-Calling all my friends, but don't come to my house
-Took a second look and I'm better without, it's not working, we're not Working
-When we were together, that wasn't who we really were
-That wasn't us
-(Yeah)
-That wasn't us
-(Yeah)
-That wasn't us
-(Yeah)
-That wasn't us
-That wasn't us
Finalizing the repeated statement that the past relationship wasn't authentic.
