Found Out About You
Emily Osment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were picture perfect
Flawless on the surface
We were walking on a straight line
We were automatic
You seemed so fanatic
I was confident and wide eyed
Tough times
Watch us come undone
You found someone

Tell me why I think about you
And tell me if you think about me
And tell me when you touch her
Is it really love or just another fantasy
And tell me does she make you laugh
And tell me does she make you move
And tell me does she get you take away your breath
Just tell me that it cant be true
What I found out about you

It feels like a nightmare
To see your hands in her hair
You seem happy ever after
I'm stuck in denial
I cant fake a smile
You play innocent
It so damn hurts
Slow down I want back whats mine
Can we rewind

Tell me why I think about you
And tell me if you think about me
And tell me when you touch her
Is it really love or just another fantasy
And tell me does she make you laugh
And tell me does she make you move
And tell me does she get you take away your breath
Just tell me that it cant be true
What I found out about you

So much for happy endings
So much for miracles
So much for trusting you it feels so typical
I miss you

We were picture perfect
Flawless on the surface
We were walking on a straight line

Tell me why I think about you
And tell me if you think about me
And tell me when you touch her
Is it really love or just another fantasy
And tell me does she make you laugh
And tell me does she make you scream
Tell me its over its only a dream
What I found out about you
Tell me its over its only a dream
And tell me does she get you take away your breath
Just tell me that it cant be true
What I found out about you
Tell me its over its only a dream
And tell me does she get you take away your breath




Just tell me that it cant be true
What I found out about you

Overall Meaning

The song "Found Out About You" by Emily Osment is about the pain of discovering an ex-lover has moved on and found someone new. The song starts off by describing the perfection of the past relationship, but then turns emotional as the singer learns the truth about her ex's new girlfriend. The lyrics convey the singer's confusion and hurt as she questions whether her ex still thinks about her, and whether his feelings for his new girlfriend are genuine or simply a fantasy. She also wonders if his new girlfriend makes him laugh and move the way she did, and whether their relationship takes his breath away like theirs once did.


The chorus of the song repeats these questions, illustrating the singer's longing for closure and the desire to move on from the pain of her loss. The bridge of the song acknowledges the disappointment of the failed relationship and the loss of trust that resulted, but also expresses the hope that maybe things could be different if they could go back in time.
