Shut Up and Let Me Go
Breaking Free from Love's Chains
Lyrics
Hey
Expression of attention or greeting
Shut up and let me go
Request for the person to stop talking and let the speaker go
This hurts, I tell you so
Acknowledgment of emotional pain
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Final request for a kiss before parting ways
Now shut up and let me go
Reiteration of the request to be allowed to leave
Your jeans were once so clean
Comment on the state of the person's jeans, suggesting changes since they met
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met
Assumption that the person has altered their wardrobe
Now, oh so easily you're over me
Observation of the ease with which the person has moved on
Gone is love
Declaration that love has disappeared
It's you that ought to be holding me
Expression that the person should be the one holding the speaker
I'm not containable
Assertion of the speaker's uncontrollable nature
This time love is not sustainable
Claim that the current love is not sustainable
I ain't freakin'
Repetition of the speaker not pretending or faking their feelings
I ain't fakin' this
-I ain't freakin'
-I ain't fakin' this
-I ain't freakin'
-I ain't fakin' this
-Shut up and let me go
Reiteration of the request to be allowed to go
Hey
Empty line
Shut up and let me go
Reiteration of the emotional pain and inability to show it
This hurts, well, I can't show
Reference to the person having the speaker in bits for the last time
For the last time you had me in bits
Repetition of the request to be allowed to go
Now shut up and let me go
Empty line
For fear of living in regret
Expression of the fear of living with regret
I've changed since from when we first met
Acknowledgment of personal changes since the initial meeting
Now, oh so easily you're over me
Observation of the ease with which the person has moved on
Gone is love
Declaration that love has disappeared
It's me that ought to be moving on
Expression that the speaker should be the one moving on
You're not adorable
Assertion that the person is not adorable
I want something un-ignorable
Desire for something noticeable or unforgettable
I ain't freakin'
Repetition of the speaker not pretending or faking their feelings
I ain't fakin' this
-I ain't freakin'
-I ain't fakin' this
-I ain't freakin'
-I ain't fakin' this
