I Get It
Kate Voegele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't make this up
I have been outdone by my own kind
I always traded up, yeah
Now I'm a victim for the first time

And I can't pretend I'm not over the edge

[Chorus]
Well, well baby what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my it only serves me right, now I Get It
This is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I was untouchable
Until karma crashed my party
Found out I'm crushable, oh
And I'm the only one who's sorry

It's unprecedented, I can't turn the page

[Chorus]

No, no, no don't you go
I do all the breaking up around here
No, no, no don't steal my show
You should be the one crying these tears

Well, well baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my it only serves me right, now I Get It
This is how a heart breaks
And it's all it's cracked up to be

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song emphasizes the theme of karma - the idea that actions have consequences. The singer admits that she has always been selfish, always aiming to trade up in her relationships. However, now she finds herself on the receiving end of being used and mistreated by others. This is a new experience for her, and she can't pretend to not be affected by it.


In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that she's been humbled by her experiences. She's been on the other side of the equation and now understands the pain of being hurt. The line "my, my, my it only serves me right" is quite telling - the singer recognizes that she had it coming all along. She's learning that what goes around comes around, and that hurt is not to be taken lightly.


The second verse is a continuation of the theme of consequences. The singer laments that she thought she was untouchable, but karma had other plans. She admits to being "the only one who's sorry" - no one else is to blame for her situation. The line "It's unprecedented, I can't turn the page" suggests that she's struggling to move on from the pain and is learning that actions have consequences.


Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on personal growth. The singer is learning a hard lesson about the effects of her actions, and despite the pain she's feeling, she acknowledges that it's a necessary step in her maturation.
