Solo
Jason Chen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the moment you walked into my life,
Everything felt so right.
From the moment I looked into your eyes,
I knew I had to make you mine.
Girl you had me hooked on your love but it was all a game to you.
You drove a stake right through to my heart,
And left me bleeding for your love.
I tried everything to prove I loved you,
Gave my all to make all of your dreams come true.
But I'm no longer blinded by your lies,
I know your heart was never mine.

Why am I the solo player (in this game for two)
I'm the solo player (my love was never true)
I want the solo player (in this game for two)
I can be the solo player (love is a game for two)

I saw the look at your smile and it makes me feel,
Everything will be all right (Oh yeah)
It's like I'm still in love with you,
Or maybe I'm just a fool.
Girl you had me hooked on your love but it was all a game to you.
Oh you drove a stake right through to my heart,
But I will bleed for you no more.

I tried everything to prove I loved you,
Gave my all to make all of your dreams come true.

But I'm not longer blinded by your lies,
I know your heart was never mine.

Why am I the solo player (in this game for two)
I'm the solo player (my love was never true)
I want the solo player (in this game for two)
I can be the solo player (love is a game for two)

It doesn't matter how much I loved you,
Or how much I cared.
Even if you come crawling back girl,
Next time I won't be there.

I'm prepared to leave it all behind,
Oh no, you were never mine.
And even though it breaks my heart,
Girl I got to let you go.

I tried everything to prove I loved you,
Gave my all to make all of your dreams come true.
But I'm not longer blinded by your lies,
I know your heart was never mine

[X2] Why am I the solo player (in this game for two)
I'm the solo player (my love was never true)
I want the solo player (in this game for two)
I can be the solo player (love is a game for two)





Why am I the solo player?
I can be the solo player...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jason Chen's song "Solo" speak to the pain of a one-sided love. The song's narrator falls hard for someone who doesn't reciprocate his feelings and ends up feeling isolated and alone. Chen beautifully captures the vulnerability and hurt that come with loving someone who doesn't love you back. The song begins with the singer describing how perfect everything felt when he first met the object of his affection. He was convinced that she was the one for him, but it turns out she was just playing him. She didn't care for him the way he cared for her, and he was left heartbroken.


The singer then details all the ways he tried to prove his love to her. He gave everything he had to make her happy, but it was all for naught. He's no longer blinded by her lies and knows that her heart was never his. Despite the pain, the singer ultimately decides to let her go. Even though it breaks his heart to do so, he realizes that he deserves to be with someone who truly loves him back. The chorus reiterates the theme of the song: "Why am I the solo player in this game for two? I can be the solo player. Love is a game for two."

He had once reached the popularity bro. But he changed the type of songs he started singing and he disappeared from the chart.

Some people don’t like being popular because of others crowding him
