This Conversation Is Over
Acceptance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought I'd be the one to fool you,
If I told you now it would be over (it's over),
To steal all we had,
Be a part of all I've been without
All I've been without

We stop waiting and I start going home
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow
Take this call as a hint we're moving on
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow

I never got a single thing that I wanted
I never got a single thing that I wanted
I never spoke a single word that you told me
I never spoke a single word that you told me
You told me

We stop waiting and I start going home
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow
Take this call as a hint we're moving on
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow

This conversation,
Information that you wanted me to share
But I didn't want to be there
So I'll grant you one wish that won't come true

We stop waiting (we stop waiting, take this call)
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow
We're leaving you, we're leaving
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow
We stop waiting and I start going home
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow
Take this call as a hint we're moving on
You don't have to follow
You don't have to follow

Line by Line Meaning

I never thought I'd be the one to fool you,
I didn't expect to betray your trust,


If I told you now it would be over (it's over),
If I reveal the truth, our relationship would end,


To steal all we had,
To take away everything we built together,


Be a part of all I've been without
To include what was missing in my life before you,


We stop waiting and I start going home
We're done trying to make things work, and I'm leaving,


You don't have to follow
You're not obligated to come with me,


Take this call as a hint we're moving on
This conversation is a sign that we're moving past each other,


I never got a single thing that I wanted
I never achieved any of my personal desires,


I never spoke a single word that you told me
I never followed your advice or acted on your words,


This conversation,
This exchange of words between us,


Information that you wanted me to share
Details that you needed me to reveal,


But I didn't want to be there
But I didn't want to partake in this conversation,


So I'll grant you one wish that won't come true
I'll offer you a futile promise to make you feel better,


We're leaving you, we're leaving
We're moving on from you entirely,
