Jokes On You
Elena Sidiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess you lied when you said you had good intentions
How dare you try to say that everything between us is okay
I asked you questions that I knew you couldn't answer
I saw the pictures that you took while you were with her
It didn't take me long to connect all the dots
Did you really think I'd believe that you were just friends?
I know that you'll regret it
I know you'll text me a million times
I know you thought I'd accept it
But you crossed about a million lines
And I know someday you're gonna call me
And you'll say you feel bad
You'll say if "I could go back"
Don't say you'd change it cause you can't
You took me for a fool
But in the end the jokes on you
I can't believe you really thought that I'd believe you
Everyone called me and they said that they saw you two
How dare you try to lie
Telling me that everything is fine
How dumb do you really think I am?
Who the hell would believe that you two were just friends?
I know that you'll regret it
I know you'll text me a million times
I know you thought I'd accept it
But you crossed about a million lines
And I know someday you're gonna call me
And you'll say you feel bad
You'll say if "I could go back"
Don't say you'd change it cause you can't
You took me for a fool
But in the end the jokes on you
When she's sitting in my old spot I know you'll always be thinking of me
When your mom asks you what happened I know you'll finally see
What you did it really killed me inside
I'll have to spend months pretending I'm fine
I know that you'll regret it
I know you'll text me a million times
I know you thought I'd accept it
But you crossed about a million lines
And I know someday you're gonna call me
And you'll say you feel bad
You'll say if "I could go back"
Don't say you'd change it cause you can't
I know that you'll regret it
I know you'll text me a million times
I know you thought I'd accept it
But you crossed about a million lines
And I know someday you're gonna call me
And you'll say you feel bad
You'll say if "I could go back"
Don't say you'd change it cause you can't
You took me for a fool
But in the end the jokes on you
In "Jokes on You" by Elena Sidiro, the lyrics depict a story of betrayal, hurt, and the singer's realization of their partner's lies. The first verse conveys the disbelief and frustration of the singer discovering that they fought for their partner's attention, only to find out that their intentions were not genuine. This sets the tone for the song and emphasizes the singer's hurt and anger.
The second verse delves into specific instances that revealed the partner's deceit. The singer asks questions they know won't be answered truthfully and sees evidence of their partner being with someone else through pictures. The line "It didn't take me long to connect all the dots" demonstrates the singer's intelligence and perceptiveness in recognizing the truth.
The chorus highlights the singer's refusal to be fooled any longer. They express their awareness of the partner's regret and attempts to reconcile, but assert that they won't be swayed by empty promises. The line "But in the end, the jokes on you" signifies the singer's triumph in seeing through the lies and not allowing themselves to be manipulated further.
The final verse introduces the aftermath of the betrayal, with the singer imagining the partner and the other person being reminded of their actions. The line "When she's sitting in my old spot I know you'll always be thinking of me" suggests that no matter who the partner ends up with, they will always be haunted by their actions and the memory of the singer. The verse also alludes to the singer's struggle of pretending to be fine outwardly, even though they are deeply hurt on the inside.
Overall, "Jokes on You" represents a journey from naivety and trust to disappointment and a newfound strength. The lyrics capture the singer's process of realizing the betrayal, asserting their self-worth, and ultimately triumphing over the deceitful partner.
