Goner
Love's Demise: A Goner's Journey Through Regret
Lyrics
She didn't know what she was she was doin'
She acted without understanding the consequences of her actions.
Chasin' a bullet from a gun
She pursued something dangerous or harmful.
She shoulda looked where I was shootin'
She should have been aware of where the singer was directing his intentions or emotions.
Never meant to hurt anyone
The singer never intended to cause harm to anyone.
I'm an dreamer
The singer sees himself as someone who dreams or aspires for things.
And under-thinker
He tends to not thoroughly consider things.
And over-drinker
He indulges excessively in drinking alcohol.
I'm gettin' meaner
His behavior is becoming more aggressive or harsh.
I'm a fall-in-love-er
He easily falls in love with others.
A bridge-burner
He tends to sever connections or relationships.
I'm never ever gonna learn
The singer acknowledges his inability or unwillingness to learn from his mistakes.
She ain't a sit-around-and-wait-er
She is not someone who waits around idly.
Gonna find someone better
She intends to find someone who can love more deeply.
Who can love a little stronger
She seeks someone capable of loving with greater intensity.
She's a goner
She is beyond saving or rescuing from her current situation.
I never questioned her innocence
The singer never doubted her purity or goodness.
So point your fingers right here
He invites blame or accusation upon himself.
You don't know what forever is
Understanding the concept of forever requires experiencing its loss.
Until you watch it disappear
He realized the true nature of forever only when it vanished or ended.
I'm an dreamer
Reiteration of being a dreamer or aspirational.
And under-thinker
Similar to line 7, not thinking deeply enough about things.
And over-drinker
Continued excessive drinking habits.
I'm gettin' meaner
His demeanor is becoming harsher or more hostile.
I'm a fall-in-love-er
He easily falls in love, as previously mentioned.
A bridge-burner
He tends to cut off connections or burn bridges.
I'm never ever gonna learn
Admits his inability or unwillingness to learn.
She ain't a sit-around-and-wait-er
Reiteration of her determination to find someone better at loving.
Gonna find someone better
-Who can love a little stronger
-She's a goner
-She ain't a sit-around-and-wait-er
Repeated emphasis on her intention to move on and find a more loving partner, ultimately declaring her as beyond rescue.
Gonna find someone better
-Who can love a little stronger
-She ain't a sit-around-and-wait-er
-Gonna find someone better
-Who can love a little stronger
-She's a goner
-She's a goner
-Man, she's a goner
