Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you took it.
I gave you my love.
You said all you wanted
Just wanted to be free, but
Now you say, you want me back
I gave you my love.
I was so good to you, but
Oh baby, who's crying now?
Who? Who's hurting now?
The lyrics to Groove Armada's song "Paris" are about a complicated romantic relationship. The singer of the song gave their love to someone who ended up leaving them, claiming they wanted to be free. However, now the person who left is expressing regret and trying to get the singer back. The singer acknowledges this but also realizes that it's too late and they've already moved on from the hurt and pain of the breakup. The final lines of "Who? Who's hurting now?" imply that the person who left may be the one who is now feeling the pain of regret and missing out on the love that was once given to them.
Overall, the lyrics are a reflection on the complications and emotional fallout of failed relationships. They convey a sense of lost love, but also of resilience and the ability to move on and find happiness elsewhere. Through their simple yet powerful words, the song captures the raw emotions that come with heartbreak and the process of healing that follows.
