Tomorrow You Didn't
Avril Lavigne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a forgone conclusion, your love's an illusion
And the picture is starting to fade
Boy let's be honest, when it comes to your promise
It's just a lot of empty words you say
And the future's only gonna be more of the same
You've only got yourself to blame

Tomorrow you didn't, yesterday you won't
'cause I know everything you say you gonna do you don't
That's a given, it doesn't matter anyway
Hey, I know what love wasn't, I know what love isn't
So when you say you're gonna change you gotta be kidding
Tomorrow you didn't,
Hey hey, I'm outta here today

I used to believe in, all your romantic dreaming
But it really ain't that cute anymore
'cause my time's to precious

So I wish you the best with
Whatever it is you're looking for
Baby this is all for your own good,
I'm leaving cause I know you never would

Tomorrow you didn't, yesterday you won't
'cause I know everything you say you gonna do you don't
That's a given, it doesn't matter anyway
Hey, I know what love wasn't, I know what love isn't
So when you say you're gonna change you gotta be kidding
Tomorrow you didn't,
Hey hey, I'm outta here today

I don't need a crystalball to see it all my dear,
It doesn't matter what you say,
It always turns out the same way
Your predictions are fiction
And it's tragically clear

Tomorrow you didn't, yesterday you won't
'cause I know everything you say you gonna do you don't
That's a given, it doesn't matter anyway
Hey, I know what love wasn't, I know what love isn't
So when you say you're gonna change you gotta be kidding
Tomorrow you didn't,
Hey hey, I'm outta here today





(dadada, yea)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Avril Lavigne's "Tomorrow You Didn't" are a bold and unapologetic rejection of a man who has made empty promises and failed to deliver on his commitments. Lavigne sings about how the love that she once held for him is fading and how she is no longer willing to put up with his lies and illusions. She knows that he will never change, and she is ready to move on from him. The repetitive line "tomorrow you didn't, yesterday you won't" reinforces the idea that his words are meaningless and that he has lost his chance to make things right.


Throughout the song, Lavigne uses language that emphasizes her frustration and disappointment with this man. She calls him out for his "forgone conclusion" and "empty words," and she talks about how his "romantic dreaming" no longer holds any value for her. In contrast, she emphasizes her own determination and self-worth, declaring that her time is too precious to waste on someone who will never live up to their promises.


Overall, "Tomorrow You Didn't" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has been let down by someone they once loved. Lavigne's lyrics and strong vocal delivery capture the frustration, anger, and determination that often accompany the end of a relationship built on broken promises.

This is a really good song! I wish that singers would put all their songs on albums, even if they don't go on the radio...they should make money on them by advertising and selling them no matter what.
