Cup of Tea
Francesca Castro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It wasn't meant to be
Can't you see
And I just had to leave
Now I'm free

How could I think to myself that you were the one for me
I think we all agree
You're not my cup of tea

I'm putting up a wall
Since you called
And yea we had some fun
Now were done

How could I think to myself that you were the one for me




I think we all agree
You're not my cup of tea

Overall Meaning

The song "Cup of Tea" by Francesca Castro talks about a breakup that was inevitable. The first verse explains that leaving the relationship was the right choice as it was not meant to be, and the singer feels free now. The chorus emphasizes that the relationship was never going to work out, and that the singer had falsely believed that the person they were with was the one for them. The line "You're not my cup of tea" is a metaphor that means the person is not compatible with the singer's tastes, preferences, or personality.


In the second verse, the singer puts up an emotional wall after the breakup, and reflects on the fun times they shared with the person. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that it's time to move on, and that the relationship is over. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the fact that even though there were good times, the relationship was not right and could never last.


The song portrays the emotions of someone coming to terms with the end of a relationship and realizing that the other person was never the right fit for them. The metaphor of tea suggests that everyone has different tastes and preferences, and that sometimes even though we might like someone, they are not our type.
