Fingers Crossed
Lauren Spencer-Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Introduced me to your family
Watched my favorite shows on your TV
Made me breakfast in the morning
When you got home from work

Making plans to travel 'round the world
Said we'd always put each other first
Old love songs we used to play to
Funny, now I hate you




Now I remember when you'd call me late at night
I gave you my hours and advice just tryna fix you
And all your daddy issues
But now I don't even miss you anymore

So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
All the hours spent giving advice
On how to write your songs
All you did was prove me wrong
When you said you loved me
Well, you must've had your fingers crossed

Shoulda paid attention to my friends
Telling me how bad it's gonna end
Always giving their opinions
Now I wish I would have listened

I could say I'm sorry but I'm not
You don't deserve the one thing that you lost

And now I remember when you'd call me late at night
And I gave you my hours and advice just tryna fix you
And all your daddy issues
But now I don't even miss you anymore

So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
All the hours spent giving advice
On how to write your songs
All you did was prove me wrong
When you said you loved me
Well, you must've had your fingers crossed

(Oh, oh) your fingers crossed
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) your fingers crossed
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, when you said you loved me
Well, you must've had your fingers crossed

So I, I want all the tears back that I cried
All the hours spent giving advice
On how to write your songs
All you did was prove me wrong
Wish you said you loved me
When you didn't have your fingers crossed

Overall Meaning

In Lauren Spencer-Smith's song Fingers Crossed, the lyrics narrate the feeling of betrayal and disillusionment that comes after a relationship has failed. The song paints the picture of a couple that seemed to have it all but ultimately crumbled under the pressure of unkept promises and unfulfilled expectations. The song starts with the memory of a once-loving relationship where the singer was introduced to the partner's family, made breakfast in the morning, and planned to travel around the world together. However, as the song progresses, the singer realises that the relationship was just a façade, and the partner was probably just going through the motions, as all their promises were left unfulfilled.


The chorus captures the feelings of pain and resentment felt by the singer towards the partner who misled them. The singer wants back all the tears they cried and the hours they spent trying to help and support the partner despite the friend's warnings of an inevitable end to the relationship. The last lines of the chorus reveal the extent of the treachery when the partner claimed to love them, but it was all a lie; they must have had their fingers crossed.


In summary, Fingers Crossed by Lauren Spencer-Smith is about broken promises and lost trust in a once passionate relationship. The lyrics capture the singer's feeling of betrayal and resentment towards the partner who pretended to love them while holding back and not fulfilling their promises.
