Lyrics

Did you think it wouldn't show, you're here with me, but I'm so alone

Expressing disappointment that someone's true feelings are evident despite being physically present, feeling alone in the relationship.

And now this house don't feel like home, I can't believe how much we've grown

The relationship has lost its warmth and familiarity, and there's disbelief at how much has changed.

So far apart, so far away, you just can't hide something as plain as day

Highlighting the emotional distance and the inability to conceal obvious problems.

I think it's safe to say, that's it's just no good

Concluding that the situation is not favorable or healthy.


And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife

Declaring independence from the negative influence of the other person and acknowledging emotional pain.

You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice

Refusing to be hurt again after being deceived once.


Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become

Reflecting on the consequences of actions and questioning the other person's personal growth.

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame

Expressing disappointment that despite the end of the relationship, there is no positive change in the other person.


I know you think you're always right, and just because, you've got God in your life

Challenging the notion of always being right, pointing out religious faith, and criticizing dishonesty.

But he don't appreciate the way you lied, he can't believe how hard you tried

Claiming that a higher power doesn't approve of deceit and expressing disbelief in the effort to harm.

To take me down, to take it all, hanging around, and making sure I fall

Accusing the other person of trying to bring down and harm, insinuating negative intent.

Then say it was me to blame, and I was, for trusting someone like you anyways

Taking responsibility for trusting and blaming oneself, even though the other person is at fault.


And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife

Reiterating the rejection of the other person and the emotional pain caused.

You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice

Emphasizing the resolution to avoid being hurt again.


Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become

Reflecting on the aftermath of the relationship and questioning personal development.

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame

Expressing disappointment at the lack of positive change in the other person.

Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become

Repeating the questioning of personal growth and expressing disappointment.

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame

Reiterating disappointment in the lack of change in the other person.


And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife

Declaring the rejection of the negative influence and the pain it caused.

You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice

Stating the resolution to avoid being hurt again.


Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become

Reflecting on the consequences of the relationship and questioning personal development.

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame

Expressing disappointment at the lack of positive change in the other person.

Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become

Repeating the questioning of personal growth and expressing disappointment.

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame

Reiterating disappointment in the lack of change in the other person.
