Education
Jenniffer Kae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To criticize?
Overanalyze all the things I do?
Why the hell do I feel victimized?
Do you sleep at night?
How could you be so cruel?
When did I become the enemy?
Where's the person that you used to be?
You're history
It's only love
And I think it's overrated
Can't believe all this time we've wasted
I never thought that I'd hear myself say this
It's like someone's turned the light on
So take your smile and your little observations
I don't even wanna have this conversation
You're a man who doesn't know his limitations
It's been an education
So tell me what was all the fuzz about?
‘coz without a doubt
It's done nothing for me
You had it
I bought it
And then you went and broke it
I wouldn't take you back
For what you did to me
When did I become the enemy?
When did you lose all respect for me?
Where's the person that you used to be?
You're history
It's only love
And I think it's overrated
Can't believe all this time we've wasted
I never thought that I'd hear myself say this
It's like someone's turned the light on
So take your smile and your little observations
I don't even wanna have this conversation
You're a man who doesn't know his limitations
It's been an education
Now's the time for changing my direction
I realized I'll never find perfection
Now you're gone and I am moving on
I'm ready for a love resurrection
It's only love
And I think it's overrated
Can't believe all this time we've wasted
I never thought that I'd hear myself say this
It's like someone's turned the light on
So take your smile and your little observations
I don't even wanna have this conversation
You're a man who doesn't know his limitations
It's been an education
The song "Education" by Jenniffer Kae is a powerful and emotional reflection on a failed relationship. The lyrics express frustration with the other person's judgmental behavior, and a feeling of being victimized by their criticism. The singer questions why the other person feels they have the right to analyze and criticize everything she does, and wonders how they could be so cruel. There is a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, as the singer reflects on how she has become the enemy in the other person's eyes, and how they have lost all respect for her.
Despite the pain and disappointment, the singer is able to see the situation clearly and acknowledge that the love between them was overrated. She is ready to move on, to change direction and find a love resurrection. The song is empowering and shows the strength of the singer's character, as she refuses to engage in a conversation with the other person who doesn't know his limitations.
Overall, "Education" is a song that speaks to anyone who has been in a toxic relationship where they felt torn down and mistreated. It is a reminder that sometimes the lessons we learn from these relationships, painful as they may be, can ultimately lead us to a better place.

I'm ready for a love resurrection
I am prepared for a new and improved relationship
