Disappointed
Ivy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

baby for the first time
im falling, falling for the last time
half dead on the inside, feels like nothings left at all
half smile on the outside, then its gone

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed
i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

could it be that this time
we're just longing, longing for the first time
its been such a long night
now we're sleeping back again
no matter how we try, to pretend

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed
i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never see what you wanted from me, all your going to be
is disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

half dead on the inside, feels like nothings left at all
half smile on the outside, then its gone

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never see what you wanted from me, all your going to be
is disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

(fade out)

i could never see what you wanted from me, all your going to be
is disappointed.





i could never be what you want me to be, im just going to leave
you disappointed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ivy's "Disappointed" describe a person who is falling for someone for the first and last time. They feel half-dead on the inside, as if they have nothing left to offer, but put on a half-smile on the outside that doesn't last. The song speaks of the singer's inability to be what the other person wants, no matter how hard they try. They ultimately decide to leave the other person disappointed because they can't meet their expectations.


The song clearly illustrates the struggle of trying to be someone you're not to please someone else. The lyrics suggest that no matter how much effort the singer puts in, they will never be able to fulfill the other person's expectations. The imagery of feeling half-dead on the inside highlights the emotional toll that this process has taken on the singer. The decision to leave the other person is a difficult one, but it's clear that the singer has come to the realization that it's better to be true to oneself and leave the other person disappointed than to continue living a lie.


Overall, "Disappointed" is a powerful commentary on the complexity of human relationships and the importance of being true to oneself. The singer's struggle to balance their own desires with those of the other person is a theme that many people can relate to.
