Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking through me; I can’t handle it
Eyes are on her, why must you hurt me?
I guess I got used to it
Oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh
Why do you make this thing so complex?
We used to be easy, but now I’m obsessed
Hoping tonight you will invite me
When did I become so weak?
I guess I got used to it
I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh
(All right, all right, all right, all right)
Guess I got, guess I got used to it, used to it
Guess I got, guess I got, guess I got used to it
Oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh
You got to leave
You got to walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Yeah
I guess I got, I guess I got used to it, used to it
I guess I got used to it

In the second verse, Harry reflects on the complexity of their relationship, which used to be simple and easy. He expresses his obsession with hoping that the other person will invite him, revealing his vulnerability and dependence on their validation. This admission of weakness further emphasizes how deeply entangled he has become in this destructive dynamic.
The repetition of the chorus strengthens the message of letting go, as Harry reaffirms his decision to move on. The bridge, consisting of "All right, all right" followed by the phrase "I guess I got used to it," indicates a sense of resignation and acceptance.
