I Wish It Was Over
Yearning for Freedom: Teddy Thompson's Struggle in 'I Wish It Was Over'
Lyrics
I wish it was over
Expressing a desire for the current situation or relationship to end.
I wish we were through
Desiring the completion or termination of the relationship.
I wish when my phone rang
Expressing a wish for the absence of the partner's presence during phone calls.
It wasn't always you
Wishing that the partner wasn't the constant subject or reason for phone calls.
I don't even like you
Stating a lack of affection or positive feelings towards the partner.
Or can't you tell
Challenging the partner's ability to perceive the lack of liking.
Whenever I'm sober
Linking negative behavior towards the partner with sobriety.
I treat you like hell
Admitting to mistreating the partner when not under the influence.
I wish it was over
Repetition of the desire for the relationship to be over, emphasizing the intensity of the feeling.
I wish it was over
-I wish it was over
-If I could be stronger
Expressing a desire to be emotionally stronger and less vulnerable.
And not so weak
Acknowledging personal weakness and a struggle to overcome it.
Instead of just thinking
Suggesting a difficulty in expressing oneself verbally and a desire to improve communication.
Maybe I could speak
Contemplating the possibility of speaking up instead of just thinking about it.
I don't think you're special
Expressing a lack of admiration or special regard for the partner.
You're certainly not smart
Dismissing the partner's intelligence or wit.
This being together
Describing the impact of the relationship as emotionally distressing.
Is tearing me apart
Indicating that being together is causing emotional pain.
I wish it was over
Repetition of the strong desire for the relationship to end.
I wish it was over
-I wish it was over
-I wish it was over
Reiterating the intense wish for the relationship to be over.
