He says it's nothing with her lipstick on his mouth
And you might think he doesn't care that much at all
But they always come back, yeah they always come back
When he returns he puts you in a situation
But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
They're all the same, they never learn
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
Dry your eyes Mr. Wise Guy
But take a picture, it's the last that you will see
Let's see how far this guy gets walking on his own feet
But they always come back, yeah they always come back
When he returns he puts you in a situation
But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
Now ain't it funny how we never seem to work it out
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
They're all the same, they never learn
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
They're all the same, they never learn
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
The song "Comeback" by Ella Eyre is an anthem for anyone who has been played and hurt by a guy who always seems to come back. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer catches her significant other cheating on her but he tries to downplay it, leaving her hurt and confused. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that they always come back, alluding to the fact that some people never learn from their mistakes and continue to make the same ones over and over again.
The singer admits that she's been played and hurt before, but the message in the song is to take the pain and let the guy burn. It's not her job to educate him or try to make him see the error of his ways. The song implies that it's up to the woman to walk away and not let the guy have any more power over her. The bridge of the song says, "Dry your eyes Mr. Wise Guy," hinting that the guy may have tried to play himself off as a smooth operator or someone who knows what he's doing. However, the singer is not fooled and calls him out.
Line by Line Meaning
Caught out, sleeping around
Being cheated on and betrayed
He says it's nothing with her lipstick on his mouth
Being fed lies despite physical evidence
And you might think he doesn't care that much at all
The feeling of being undervalued and disrespected
But they always come back, yeah they always come back
The pattern of cheating partners returning despite their actions
When he returns he puts you in a situation
The feeling of being trapped and helpless when dealing with a cheater
But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
The frustration of not being able to fix the problem before it's too late
It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
The realization that it's not the victim's job to teach someone how to be faithful and respectful
Now ain't it funny how we never seem to work it out
The realization that despite efforts to fix the issue, it always happens again
We've all been played, we all get hurt
The universal truth that everyone has experienced the pain of being betrayed
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
The suggestion to let go of the pain and anger and focus on moving on from the betrayal
And you know that in time you will find
The hope that time heals all wounds and things will get better
They're all the same, they never learn
The realization that many cheaters have the tendency to repeat their actions and never learn from their mistakes
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
The suggestion to cut ties with the cheater and focus on moving on
Dry your eyes Mr. Wise Guy
The dismissal of the cheating partner's facade of being wise or knowledgeable
But take a picture, it's the last that you will see
The suggestion to remember the cheater for what they truly are and move on
Let's see how far this guy gets walking on his own feet
The suggestion that the cheater will face consequences for their actions and will have to deal with them alone
We've all been played, we all get hurt
The repetition of the universal truth that everyone faces betrayal and pain
