Was It So Bad For You
Co.Ro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can not understand
The way that things just end
Your index finger pointed at the door
I said that i would leave
You told me leave the keys
And take away your socks and your shoes

When all we did was fight
And you were always right
And we'd end up makin' up the whole night through

Was it so bad for you
Was it so bad for you, baby
Was it so bad for you
Was it so bad for you, baby
We were only strangers holding hands

Strangers in the night hold each other tight
Wait for tomorrow for the whole night through
I can not understand
The way that things just end
I guess that things just go the way they do
I thought you'd call again
But I guess it's just a romance
That keeps me thinking only of you





Was it as good for you as it was for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to CO.RO.'s "Was It So Bad for You" explore the struggles and challenges of a romantic relationship that has failed to mature and blossom into something meaningful. In the opening lines, the singer expresses a sense of confusion and bewilderment about the way things have ended, lamenting the fact that they seem unable to comprehend how the relationship has disintegrated into nothingness. The stanza is marked by a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer seems to suggest that sometimes things just don't work out, even when we want them to.


In the second stanza, the singer reflects on the dynamics of the relationship, noting that they were often caught up in cycles of fighting and making up. The repetition of the phrase "the whole night through" underscores the idea that the relationship was often marked by drama and intensity, but not necessarily by deep connection or understanding. The chorus poses a series of questions, asking whether the relationship was as bad for the other person as it was for the singer. This highlights the idea that relationships are always two-sided, and that it's easy to get caught up in our own point of view without considering how the other person is feeling.


In the final stanza, the singer expresses a sense of nostalgia and longing for the other person, suggesting that they had hoped the relationship would continue or that they would at least hear from the other person again. However, the line "I guess it's just a romance" suggests that the relationship was perhaps more of a fling or a passing attraction than something deeper and more enduring. Overall, the lyrics to "Was It So Bad for You" convey a sense of melancholy and regret for a relationship that wasn't able to find its footing and develop into something lasting.


Line by Line Meaning

I can not understand
I am unable to comprehend the reason for our separation


The way that things just end
The sudden conclusion without warning or explanation


Your index finger pointed at the door
Your gesture towards the exit symbolized the end of our relationship


I said that i would leave
I offered to depart in hopes of a second chance


You told me leave the keys
You demanded the return of your possessions as a sign of finality


And take away your socks and your shoes
Collect all your scattered belongings, while removing the slightest remainders of your existence


When all we did was fight
Engaging in constant confrontations was a pattern in our relationship


And you were always right
During our disagreements, you were inevitably correct


And we'd end up makin' up the whole night through
Following the disagreements, we reconciled our differences through physical intimacy


Was it so bad for you
Did our relationship cause you immense displeasure


Was it so bad for you, baby
Were you unhappy with being together, my love


We were only strangers holding hands
Despite our relationship, we never truly knew each other


Strangers in the night hold each other tight
Our love was similar to a fleeting affair, with no guarantee of longevity


Wait for tomorrow for the whole night through
Hope is kept alive for our relationship to continue in the future


I guess that things just go the way they do
Perhaps this outcome was inevitable


I thought you'd call again
I hoped for a reconsideration of our relationship


But I guess it's just a romance
Perhaps our love was just a short-lived fling


That keeps me thinking only of you
Despite the end of our relationship, you still occupy a significant space in my mind


Was it as good for you as it was for me
Did you derive the same amount of pleasure from our relationship as I did
