Lyrics
If I was strong then I wouldn't care
If I were emotionally strong, I wouldn't be affected.
If she was here or she was there
Her physical presence or absence wouldn't matter to me.
But I guess I didn't go by the rules
Admitting a deviation from conventional behavior or norms.
'Cause she really made me look like a fool
She deceived or embarrassed me significantly.
I shouldn't have let it hurt me at all
I shouldn't have allowed the situation to cause me pain.
'Cause I know the price you pay when you fall
Acknowledging the consequences of falling in love.
But I couldn't believe it was true
Disbelief in the truth of the situation.
When she told me we were through
Surprise at the revelation of the end of the relationship.
And the reason why I cry
Expressing the quest for understanding the cause of crying.
I wish I knew
The speaker is uncertain about the reason for their emotional distress.
My friends told me about her
Friends warned about her, sharing concerns.
When they saw me hold her hand
Observing the speaker holding hands with her.
But I didn't think they knew her
Doubt about friends truly knowing her.
So how could they understand
Questioning friends' ability to comprehend the situation.
I couldn't hear a word they were saying
Ignoring advice or warnings due to internal distractions.
'Cause inside my head the music was playing
Mentally preoccupied with music, disregarding external input.
But I found out it was all true
Confirmation of the truth revealed by her.
When she told me we were through
Reiteration of the shock at the relationship's end.
And the reason why I cry
Repeating the desire to understand the cause of crying.
I wish I knew
Continued uncertainty about the reason for emotional pain.
I couldn't hear a word they were saying
Reiteration of not hearing friends due to mental absorption.
'Cause inside my head the music was playing
Internal music distraction despite external truths.
But I found out it was all true
Confirmation of the authenticity of the warnings.
When she told me we were through
Reaffirmation of the emotional shock caused by her revelation.
And the reason why I cry
Restating the desire to comprehend the cause of crying.
I wish I knew.
Continued uncertainty about the reason for emotional distress.
Oh yeah I wish I knew
Repeating the expression of a wish for understanding.
Oh yeah I wish I knew
Reiteration of the desire for knowledge about the emotional pain.
