Lyrics

You are what you are

You are defined by your true nature

And I don’t care anymore

The speaker no longer cares about the situation

This time I’ll stay true to my words

The speaker promises to remain faithful to their words

This time it’s me speaking the words

The speaker is taking control and expressing themselves

And you’ll have to bite your tongue

You'll have to endure the consequences silently

Cause this pulse between you and I

A strong connection exists between the speaker and the other person

Took too much of my time

The intense connection took a significant amount of the speaker's time

I try and I try

The speaker makes repeated efforts

You’ll never understand

The other person won't comprehend the speaker's perspective

You are what you are

Reiteration of the idea that one's essence is unchangeable

Ruined by all your lies

The other person is negatively impacted by their lies

This time I’ll stay true to my words

A renewed commitment to honesty

I’m giving up on us

The speaker is giving up on the relationship

Cause this pulse between you and I

Reference to the intense connection and its time-consuming nature

Took too much of my time

Continued effort by the speaker

I try and I try

The other person's lack of understanding persists

You will never understand

Reiteration that the other person won't comprehend

Attribution to the creators of the song

Again and again I tried to salvage something from nothing again and again

Repeated attempts to salvage something from a deteriorating situation

You prove there’s no foundation for it.

Confirmation that there is no solid basis for the relationship

Once bitten twice shy, three strikes and then you’ re out of my life

Using past negative experiences as a guide to ending the relationship

You dug me a ditch, I built a bridge, and now I’m over it

The speaker has overcome the difficulties and moved on

What You Are

Title of the song, possibly emphasizing the true nature of the person

Cause this pulse between you and I

Reiteration of the intense connection and its time-consuming nature

Took too much of my time

Continued effort by the speaker

I try and I try

The other person's lack of understanding persists

You will never understand

Reiteration that the other person won't comprehend
