Jaded
Betcha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m gonna misuse until they take it away
And that's the issue
(Tell me that you′re gonna stay)
Don't wanna miss you
Can't let ′em get in the way
Just gotta kiss you
(Tell me what you wanna say)
Say I, yes, I′ll go
Just take me for a ride on your road
You said the water's fine, but I know
I′m falling for your lies

Then I wake up and I'm jaded
You got me out of my head
Now I′m frustrated
I'm turning permanent red
And I keep waiting until you fool me again
You′ve got me jaded
Don't leave me jaded
Don't leave me

Can′t help but chase it
You′ve got me running away
Just gotta taste it
(Meet me any time or place)
Need a replacement
But you've been burned in my brain
Just can′t erase it
(You know what I'm gonna say)

Say I, yes, I′ll go
Just take me for a ride on your road
You said the water's fine, but I know
I′m falling for your lies

'Cause I wake up and I'm jaded
You got me out of my head
Now I′m frustrated
I′m turning permanent red
And I keep waiting until you fool me again
You've got me jaded
Don′t leave me jaded
Don't leave me





Don′t leave me jaded, jaded
Don't leave me

Overall Meaning

The song "Jaded" by Betcha is about the struggle of being addicted to someone or something that is not good for you. The lyrics depict the idea of being in a toxic relationship but not being able to let go because of the intense attraction to the person. The line "I'm gonna misuse until they take it away" suggests that the singer is aware that what they are doing is wrong but they cannot help themselves because they are addicted to the person. The constant back and forth in the lyrics between wanting to leave the person and wanting to stay with them is indicative of the struggle to break free from the addiction.


The chorus of the song reveals the aftermath of being in the addictive, toxic relationship. The singer wakes up "jaded" or worn out from the emotional rollercoaster of the relationship. They are frustrated and constantly waiting for the person to "fool them again" because the attraction is so strong. The repetition of "Don't leave me jaded" in the last line of the song highlights the desperation of the singer to stay in the relationship even though it is not good for them. In conclusion, "Jaded" is a heartbreaking reminder of how hard it is to let go of something that is harmful to us.
