Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
'Cause right now it says that "We can't come to the phone"
And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
It's been months and for some reason I just
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this, yeah
(Enough is enough)
No more walking round with my head down (yeah)
I'm so over being blue, crying over you
And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calendar I have that's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memory
And now every song reminds me of what used to be
That's the reason I'm
So sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio? Oh-oh-oh
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Hey, don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio
'Cause I'm so sick of love songs (hey), so tired of tears (so tired of tears)
So done with wishing (oh) she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (ooh-oh)
So why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?)
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears (so tired of tears, yeah)
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (hey)
Why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?)
And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears (I'm so sick of love songs)
So done with wishing you were still here (so done and I'm so sick of love songs)
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (so done and I'm so sick of love songs)
Why can't I turn off the radio? (hey)
(Why can't I turn off the radio?)
Why can't I turn off the radio?
The song "So Sick" by Ne-Yo is about heartbreak and the struggles of moving on from a past relationship. The opening lyrics suggest that the singer must change his answering machine message to reflect his new single status. He is aware that the message makes no sense as the person who left is not coming back. However, he can only listen to their voice through the message. The singer has been trying to get over this heartbreak for months and has been using "love songs" to distract and cope with the pain. The chorus repeats the phrase "so sick of love songs" which serves as the theme of the song.
The second verse signals the singer's attempt at an emotional detachment. He removes the anniversary date from his calendar, which is a significant milestone in the relationship. However, he finds that every song reminds him of what once was, and he cannot seem to shake the memories and emotions attached to them. The bridge reflects his frustration and his desire to move away from the memories as he speaks about the things that remind him of his past relationship.
Overall, the song is relatable because many people have experienced heartbreak and have used music as a coping mechanism. The song is a vivid picture of heartbreak, and its effects linger even after the relationship ends. It shows that time is not always a perfect healer, and sometimes we need external help to face our emotions.
