Chrishan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1:
Heard you say, "It's over," over and over
Think it's time that we started, started the closure
I don't want it to end, but I don't wanna pretend
'Cause I know that we're better off being just friends
I don't wanna make you cry, but we both know it's a lie
So it's time to say goodbye, say goodbye
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, ain't no more us
I know it hurts, hurtin' is tough
It's over, it's over, and it's all good
Told you that I loved you, but you misunderstood
Verse 2:
I want you to be happy, I want you to move on
I want you to be strong, I want you to be gone
Sometimes you gotta lose, sometimes you gotta choose
And in this situation, it was something we couldn't refuse
I don't wanna see you hurt, even though I hurt too
So it's time to say adieu, say adieu
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, ain't no more us
I know it hurts, hurtin' is tough
It's over, it's over, and it's all good
Told you that I loved you, but you misunderstood
Bridge:
I don't wanna drag it out, so I'ma let it go
It'll hurt for a minute, then we'll both grow
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna start a war
Just knoе that I'll always love ya, forevermore
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, ain't no more us
I know it hurts, hurtin' is tough
It's over, it's over, and it's all good
Told you that I loved you, but you misunderstood
