Twice Shy
Between You & Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How hard is it to try, instead of wasting all your time
What would it take for me to change your mind again
Shake the fact you get under my skin
This is the last time you'll see my face again
This is the last time
Twice shy, now I'm leaving
Lessons that I needed
(Time and time again)
Stay away from me honestly
You're nothing but a memory
Cause you were the lesson I needed
See you from time to time, still have that same old point of view
I thought the ink had dried, but I'm still wasting lines on you
How do you still think we're friends, you never called to make amends
All the words you left unsaid, show me that you never cared for me or anyone
Did you realize that you've come undone
All the changes that you had are gone and now you're left with none
This is the last time you'll see my face again
This is the last time
You took what you needed
Twice shy, now I'm leaving
Lessons that I needed
(Time and time again)
Stay away from me honestly
You're nothing but a memory
Cause you were the lesson I needed
You took what you needed
Twice shy, now I'm leaving
Lessons that I needed
(Time and time again)
You took what you needed
Twice shy, now I'm leaving
Lessons that I needed
(Time and time again)
Stay away from me honestly
You're nothing but a memory
Cause you were the lesson I needed
The lyrics of "Twice Shy" by Between You & Me convey a sense of betrayal and disappointment in a relationship. The singer has realized that every word spoken by the other person was a lie, and they express their frustration at the other person's inability to try and change their ways. The singer wants to shake off the fact that the other person gets under their skin, highlighting the negative impact they have had.
The chorus emphasizes the finality of the situation, stating that it is the last time the other person will see their face again. This suggests a decision to cut ties and move on from the relationship. The repeated line "you took what you needed" implies that the other person only used the singer for their own benefit, leaving them feeling used and taken advantage of.
The lyrics also touch on the notion of friendship and the lack of effort from the other person to make amends. The singer questions how the other person still thinks they can be friends when they never made an effort to reconcile. The words left unsaid indicate a lack of care from the other person, further solidifying the singer's realization that they were never truly valued.
