Four
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day's almost like this, so perfect
So great and perfumed
But at soon as the sun goes down
You are nothing like you swore you'd be
And I wonder, what the hell am I doing here?
Waiting for you in the same old bar
You swore you'd leave one night
Smelling cigarettes smoke
Don't you know you ain't living right?
But who am I to ask? Mmm
Yeah who am I to talk?
And it's all for everything that you said
How you destroyed everything about me
And it's four, seven reasons I shouldn't be here
Cause you said "you ain't a thing to me
And I feel like I am nothing to you
Coffee talk and all the good ways to imagine it all
So dramatic, kinda living like a movie
It was all pretend oh
But who am I to claim something real?
We're not perfect but at least say bye
When you are going out
All I did was only say hello but, did you even care?
Am I something to you? No?
Don't you think it's gonna hurt so good?
And it's all for everything that you said
How you destroyed everything about me
And it's four, seven reasons I shouldn't be here




Cause you said "you ain't a thing to me
And I feel like I am nothing to you

Overall Meaning

The singer is questioning his own presence in the situation, wondering why he is waiting for someone who is nothing like they swore they'd be. He admits that he is not perfect either and questions the authenticity of their relationship. However, he still feels hurt by the way the other person has treated him, destroying everything about him with their words. Despite this knowledge, he is struggling to let go.


The lyrics in "Four" captures the complexities of relationships, the struggle to reconcile different expectations and realities, and the pain of realizing that someone you care about may not reciprocate.

The look on Harry's face after Voldemort tells him he wants to see the light leave his eyes. Just pure determination. Daniel Radcliffe was the perfect Harry Potter and did so well.

I know, right?

Force Captain Overlord Supreme leader

At that moment he thought he wouldn't die cowaring. He would die fighting like his father. (I'm obviously paraphrasing what was in the books, for any in doubt)
