Predictable
Good Charlotte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel it again, feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still
I don't know why I let you in
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable
(so predictable)
So take your empty words,
Your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause
I am done with this
I can give it away, give it away
I'm doing everything I should've
And now I'm making the change
I'm living the day
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(something's going wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable
(so predictable)
Everywhere I go, everyone I meet
Everytime I try to fall in love
They all want to know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold?
Why I'm so hard inside?
Why am I scared? what am I afraid of?
I don't even know
This story never had an end
I've been waiting, I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You are never coming back, never, never....
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable
(so predictable)
Everywhere I go for the rest of my life
Everyone I love everyone I care about
(so predictable)
You all want to know what's wrong with me
But I know what it is (so predictable)
I'm ending this right now
The lyrics of "Predictable" by Good Charlotte depict the feelings of betrayal and disappointment that arise when one sees through the facade of someone who repeatedly proves to be unreliable. The singer confesses that it's not the first time they have felt this way, and they knew all along that something would go wrong. They feel they have been taken advantage of by someone who made promises they couldn't keep and used empty words to gain their trust.
The chorus's repetition of "You're so predictable" emphasizes the lack of surprise in the situation, indicating that the singer has experienced this kind of disappointment before. The lines, "Everywhere I go, everyone I meet" express the weight of this disappointment on the singer, affecting their relationships and leaving them with a sense of brokenness.
However, towards the end of the song, the singer takes control of their life by choosing to give back what they were given, not needing anything in return. The final lines of the chorus, "I'm ending this right now," shows that the singer has realized that they don't need to keep waiting for something that will never happen and are moving on.
