What Goes Around
Alesana Lyrics

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
Asking if the person's new partner meets their desired qualities as their previous partner loved them deeply.

You know I gave you the world
I did everything for you, even sacrificed a lot for our relationship.

You had me in the palm of your hand
I was under your spell and you had control over the relationship.

So why your love went away
Wondering why they stopped loving me and what was the reason behind it.

I just can't seem to understand
I am having difficulty comprehending the situation and the sudden change of heart.

Thought it was me and you babe
I was convinced that we were meant to be together forever and our love was unconditional.

Me and you until the end
Promising that we would be together through thick and thin until the end of our lives.

But I guess I was wrong
However, I was assuming wrong and it did not turn out the way I wanted.

Don't want to talk about it
I do not want to discuss the issue or talk about it further.

Don't want to think about it
I do not want to think or dwell on the painful past and the end of the relationship.

I'm just so sick about it
The breakup is taking an emotional toll on me and causing me to feel ill.

Can't believe it's ending this way
In denial about the relationship that was once so pure and loving but now ending in such a tragic way.

Just so confused about it
Feeling lost and unsure about what led to the breakup and where to go from here.

Feeling the blues about it
Depressed and heartbroken about the end of the relationship.

I just can't do without ya
Unable to imagine living without the person they once loved deeply.

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this really the end of our relationship and the love we shared?

Is this how we say goodbye?
Is this how our relationship ends, with us saying goodbye to each other?

Should've known better when you came around
Regretting not realizing that the person would break their heart again as they did before.

That you were gonna make me cry
Predicting that the relationship would hurt again just like before.

It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Pained to see the person moving on and living their life without them which hurts them even more.

'Cause I know that you're living a lie
Knowing that the person is pretending and not being true to themselves and their feelings.

That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...
Accepting that the person will realize their mistake one day and regret losing the love they once shared.

And now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
Recalling all the promises and claims the person made during the relationship.

You said that you were moving on now
The person moved on from the relationship and is trying to let go of the love that was once shared.

And maybe I should do the same
Feeling like they should also move on and try to let go of their past love.

Funny thing about that is
Ironically, the person was so sure about their love, and now it seems uncertain.

I was ready to give you my name
When the time was right, I was ready to spend my life with you and give you my full commitment and love.

And now it's all just a shame
It is unfortunate that the love that was once a beautiful thing has now come to this.

And I guess I was wrong
Once again, realizing that they assumed wrong and the relationship did not turn out as they hoped.

Now you want somebody to cure the lonely nights
The person is seeking another romantic partner to fill the void and ease their loneliness.

You wish you had somebody that could come and make it right
Hoping for someone who could bring back the love and happiness they once felt with their previous partner.

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
Being very unsympathetic towards the person and not wanting to help them through their heartbreak.

You'll see (what goes around comes back around)
The person will soon realize that their actions and behavior have consequences, which come back to them in the end.

You spend your nights alone
The person is now alone at night, without their previous partner beside them.

And he never comes home
Their new partner is not always there for them or does not show them the love they desire.

And every time you call him
The person tries to call their new partner but can never get through to them as they are always busy.

All you get's a busy tone
When they try and call their partner, they only get a busy signal which may indicate that the partner is uninterested or uncommitted.

I heard you found out
The person heard that their ex found out something about their current relationship.

That he's doing to you what you did to me
The person is experiencing the same pain and heartbreak as the singer did when they were betrayed in their previous relationship.

Ain't that the way it goes
This is often the way our love lives work out, with pain and heartbreak.

When you cheated girl
The person cheated on the singer in their previous relationship, causing them immense pain and heartbreak.

My heart bleeded girl
The person's actions broke the singer's heart, and they were hurt deeply.

So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
It is understood that the person's actions caused the singer immense pain that still affects them.

Just a classic case
This happens all the time, it is not new or surprising.

A scenario
This is a situation that many people go through in their romantic relationships.

Tale as old as time
The story of heartbreak and cheating in relationships is as old as time itself.

Girl you got what you deserved
All the pain and heartbreak that the person experiences now are what they deserve for hurting the singer in their previous relationship.

I thought I told you, baby (what goes around comes back around)
I warned you before about the consequences of your actions, which would come back to you eventually.
