Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Unraveling Hearts: Navigating the Struggle of Love's Evolution
Lyrics
The show closed the first night (night)
The first night of the show ended
But God, I was so good
The speaker believes they performed exceptionally well
You should have seen me, you woulda loved me
The speaker thinks the listener would have been impressed if they had seen the performance
What do you do
Rhetorical question pondering what actions one should take
Well
A pause or hesitation in speech
Straight, what do you do
A repeat of the previous rhetorical question for emphasis
You should have seen me, you woulda loved me
Reiteration that the listener would have enjoyed witnessing the performance
Should have seen me, should have seen me
Emphasizing that the listener missed out on seeing something great
Should have seen me, you woulda loved me
Repeated emphasis on the regret of the listener not witnessing the performance
And I will my hands to shake, baby
The speaker tries to control their emotions but struggles
But these days you just pay for it
In contemporary times, one has to pay a price for everything
So I'm the one to blame, baby
The speaker takes responsibility for the situation
And you should never change for me, no
Encouragement for the listener to not change for the speaker
Always trying not to know
Constantly avoiding or denying knowledge of something
I'm always burying my bones
Keeping past issues hidden or unaddressed
After all this time, I still have hope
Despite the passage of time, the speaker remains optimistic
And I'm always asking
Continuously seeking reassurance or answers
Hey, are we better now
Inquiring if the situation has improved
Are we better now
Repetition of the inquiry for emphasis
And hey, are we better now
Continued repetition, seeking confirmation of improvement
Are we better now, yeah
Affirmation of the hope for improvement
And I will my hands to shake, baby
Similar sentiment to line 11, struggling to control emotions
But these days you just pay for it
Reiteration of the modern concept of paying a price for things
So I'm the one to blame, baby
Reiterating responsibility for the situation
And you should never change for me, no
Repeated encouragement for the listener not to change for the speaker
And everyone says leave this hole
External advice suggests leaving the current situation
But I am on a backwards roll
The speaker is heading in the opposite direction, making things worse
Cause I can fix this on my own
Believing the situation can be fixed independently
If I just keep asking
Continuously seeking confirmation or reassurance
Hey, are we better now
Reiteration of the inquiry about improvement
Are we better now
Repeating the question to emphasize the desire for improvement
And hey, are we better now
Continued repetition, seeking confirmation of improvement
Are we better now, yeah
Affirmation of hope for improvement
And I will my hands to shake, baby
Similar sentiment to lines 11 and 25, struggling to control emotions
But these days you just pay for it
Continued emphasis on paying a price for things in current times
So I'm the one to blame, baby
Continued acknowledgment of responsibility for the situation
And you should never change for me, no
Repeated encouragement for the listener not to change for the speaker
And I will my hands to shake, baby
Similar sentiment to lines 11, 25, and 39, struggling to control emotions
But these days I don't ache for it
Not feeling the same intensity of emotions as before
So I'm the one to blame, baby
Reiterating responsibility but with reduced emotional intensity
And you should never change
Repeated encouragement for the listener not to change for the speaker
