Sad But True
Goot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought that I'd see the world like this
You're the one thing that I thought I'd never miss
So tell me princesss just where you plan to go
And when you get there please leave me alone

[chorus]
Cause I have neve been this lost or betrayed or forgotten
I can not see where I went wrong
So be yourself and don't hold back because
Everybody's helping you achieve your goal

I woke up late this cold dark afternoon
Somehow felt that I'd be losing you
I never understood where I went wrong
Somehow in my head I know I'm right

[chorus]

Oh the way that you've found somebody else
Seasons change it sounds cliche but what the hell
He will never love you like I did
It's over now
Your replaceable
I hope you know
[never love you like I did
It's over now
Your replaceable
I hope you know]x3

[chorus]





Yeah you achieved your goal [x2]

Overall Meaning

The interpretation of Goot's Sad But True song revolves around a lost, betrayed, and forgotten feeling that is accompanied by a sense of confusion about where one went wrong. The first verse alludes to a deceptive world that the singer never thought existed, and through it, the one thing they least expected to miss suddenly became the center of attraction. He requests the former lover to inform him of their whereabouts, but once they leave, they should keep their distance.


The chorus section emphasizes the depth of the hurt and loneliness that the singer feels. Getting lost, betrayal, and the feeling of being forgotten have consumed him/her, leaving a sense of helplessness. The plea for the former lover to be themselves and not hold back because "everybody's helping you achieve your goal" could indicate that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that their former partner is now succeeding while they are not. The second verse depicts the singer waking up on a chilly afternoon with the realization that they are on the verge of losing their significant other but have never identified where they went wrong.


Towards the end, it becomes evident that the former partner found somebody else, and the singer is convinced that he loved her more. The expression of hope that the once-loved one understands that they are replaceable and not as valued as he/she may have believed signifies a need to move on.
