Over You
Gaia Cauchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s all we talk bout lately
You actin' like I′m playing you
Keep stating how I'm shady
I'm not a one man lady
So maybe that′s what I should do
Get out your head stop over thinking
You know that it′s always been you (been you)
But only you can turn my world around
I tell you it's over but I′m craving for your love
I'm stuck in the middle
And there′s no way back now
I just can't control it, but when you come around
I break into pieces, I let my guard down
I′m stuck in the middle and there's no way back now
I just can't get over
(You) Baby
(You, you) Baby
(You, you) Babe
Just can′t get over you
You always play the blame game
I never know what to say
You know to me it′s always been you
Imagining things that don't even happen
Boy stop taking me fore granted
Don′t wanna go but it's time to leave you (leave you)
But only you can turn my world around
I tell you it′s over but I'm craving for your love
I′m stuck in the middle
And there's no way back now
I just can't control it, but when you come around
I break into pieces, I let my guard down
I′m stuck in the middle and there′s no way back now
I just can't get over
(You) Baby
(You, you) Baby
(You, you) Babe
Just can′t get over you
And I'll be waiting for you here when you call my name
And if my heart breaks again I′ll be the one to blame
Cause I know I should've never let you in again
In again
(You) Baby, when you′re here it's all alright
(You) Tell me you can feel it all the time
(You) Baby, when you're here it′s all alright
(You) Like all the time
(You) Baby, when you′re here it's all alright
(You) Tell me you can feel it all the time
(You) Baby, when you′re here it's all alright
(You) Like all the time
Baby, when you′re here it's all alright
Tell me you can feel it all the time
Baby, when you′re here it's all alright
Like all the time
The lyrics to Gaia Cauchi's song "Over You" tell a story of a complicated relationship that is full of ups and downs. The singer is torn between her love for the person and the harm they have done to her. The opening lines "You do it on the daily, It's all we talk about lately" suggest that the person is causing hurt and drama every day, and it is all anyone can talk about. They accuse the singer of being shady and not being loyal, and she considers breaking up with them. However, she admits that only they can turn her world around, and she finds herself unable to let go despite the pain. She sings, "I tell you it's over, but I'm craving for your love. I'm stuck in the middle, and there's no way back now. I just can't control it, but when you come around, I break into pieces, I let my guard down." The lyrics capture the complexity of relationships and how it can be challenging to let go of someone even when they have hurt us.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that the song is about an addictive relationship, where the person keeps coming back to the singer, despite the pain they have caused. The lines, "You always play the blame game, I never know what to say. You know to me, it's always been you" suggest a pattern of emotional manipulation, where the person shifts the blame onto the singer and makes her doubt her own feelings. The repeated refrain "Just can't get over you" reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling to move on, even though she knows she should.
Overall, "Over You" is a powerful song that captures the complexity and pain of relationships. It speaks to anyone who has found themselves unable to let go of someone, even when it's for the best.

And if my heart breaks again I'll be the one to blame
If I allow myself to get hurt again, it is my responsibility
Cause I know I should've never let you in again
I realize that I should not have allowed you back into my life
Baby, when you're here it's all alright
Everything seems better when you are around
Tell me you can feel it all the time
Let me know that you also feel the same way
Like all the time
Repeating that the feeling is constant
