Epiphany
Chrisette Michele(크리셋 미셸) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its over
Its over
Second night in a row
You didn't come home
I'm watching my phone
Sitting in the house
On the couch with the TV on
All night all alone
Every night same old thing
[Chorus]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doing
Where you been sleeping
(Its over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving
So you walk in
The next morning
To find me smiling,
Like nothing ever happened
You give me some excuse
Like you always do
I just kiss your cheek
And this is what I tell you (you, you)
[Chorus]
How many times did I fall for your lies
How many times did I fall down and cry
Never questioning why? why? why? why?
It just came to me
Like an epiphany
How about if I just leave
[Chorus]
In Chrisette Michele's song "Epiphany (I'm Leaving)", the lyrics are about a woman who has come to the realization that her relationship with her partner is over. The song starts off with the line "And then it comes to me like an epiphany", which sets the tone for the entire song. The singer of the song is sitting at home watching TV "all night all alone," as her partner has not come home for the second night in a row. She is waiting for him to contact her but he hasn't. The following morning, he walks in and gives an excuse, which the singer accepts as usual. However, this time she has come to the point where she no longer wants to stay in the relationship as it has become toxic.
The chorus of the song is a statement of her decision: she is leaving, and he can wonder where she's been sleeping. The song is about coming to an important realization and having the strength to act on it. The lyric "How many times did I fall for your lies?" shows that the singer is aware that she has been deceived multiple times, but this is the moment when she finds the courage to walk away.

And then it comes to me like an epiphany
I suddenly realized something important
Its over
Our relationship has ended
Its over
Our relationship has ended
Second night in a row
For two nights in a row
You didn't come home
You didn't return to our home
I'm watching my phone
I'm constantly looking at my phone, hoping for your call
Waiting for it to ring
Waiting for my phone to ring
Sitting in the house
I'm sitting at home
On the couch with the TV on
Sitting on the couch while the TV is on
All night all alone
I'm alone all night long
Every night same old thing
This has been a repeating pattern every night
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm ready to move on from being in a relationship with you
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I am leaving you
No I wonder what you've been doing
I have no idea what you have been doing
Where you been sleeping
I don't know where you have been sleeping
(Its over)
This relationship is over
I'm leaving
I'm ending this relationship
I'm leaving
I'm ending this relationship
So you walk in
You come home
The next morning
The morning after you didn't come home
To find me smiling,
I'm happy when you see me
Like nothing ever happened
Acting as if everything is normal
You give me some excuse
You provide me with some explanation
Like you always do
Typical of you
I just kiss your cheek
I kiss you on the cheek
And this is what I tell you (you, you)
This is what I say to you
How many times did I fall for your lies
I lost count of how many times I believed your lies
How many times did I fall down and cry
I've cried so many times because of you
Never questioning why? why? why? why?
I never asked why you were lying
It just came to me
I suddenly realized
Like an epiphany
It was like an epiphany, a sudden realization
How about if I just leave
Maybe I should just leave
[Chorus]
