It's Over
Joi Cardwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Over
When I walked in the room
It seemed like yesterday
Well it's the night and the light
But the things just ain't the same
I feel that you
There you go again
Putting that blame on me
Told you once
Told you twice
You never listened to me
Tried to keep
Our thing nice
You don't appreciate me
Work my fingers to the bone
I brought that paper home
And that's why you're alone
You told me it's over
It's over
Over and out finally figured it out
When it's over
It's over
Over and out finally figured it out
And you're out of my life
I see you making promises
But things don't ever change
There you go preaching change
But you always act the same
Well I know that you never really
Let me be
And I know you that you never gonna
See me for me
Told you once
Told you twice
You never listened to me
Tried to keep
Our thing nice
You don't appreciate me
Work my fingers to the bone
I brought that paper home
And that's why you're alone
You told me it's over
It's over
Over and out finally figured it out
When it's over
It's over
Over and out finally figured it out
And you're out of my life
The song "It's Over" by Joi Cardwell and Georgie Porgie is a classic break-up anthem that speaks to the emotions felt at the end of a relationship. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer has had enough of their partner's shortcomings and is ready to move on. The phrase "You're out of my life, It's Over" suggests the finality of the situation, and the repeated refrain of "finally figured it out" suggests that the singer has come to a realization about their relationship that they couldn't see before.
The first verse of the song describes the moment when the singer realizes that things have changed between them and their partner. They feel that they were never really allowed to be themselves, and the blame for the relationship's failure is being placed unfairly on them. The second verse is an affirmation of the singer's feelings, describing how they worked hard to make the relationship work, but their efforts were not appreciated. The chorus is a declaration of the end of the relationship and a rejection of any promises or attempts to reconcile.
The song uses a combination of strong, assertive lyrics and a danceable beat to convey the singer's emotions. The repetition of certain phrases, such as "Told you once, told you twice," emphasizes the frustration of someone who has tried to communicate their feelings but has been disregarded. Overall, "It's Over" is a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has experienced the pain of a broken relationship.

You're out of my life
I no longer want you in my life and have decided to move on
When I walked in the room
When I saw you, it felt like it was just yesterday that we were together
It seemed like yesterday
Our memories together still feel recent and fresh in my mind
Well it's the night and the light
Despite it being nighttime, the light still reveals that things have changed between us
But the things just ain't the same
Our relationship has taken a turn for the worse and doesn't feel as it used to
I feel that you
I sense that you
Never really let me be
You didn't allow me to be myself and were always trying to change me
There you go again
You're repeating the same behavior that caused our relationship to fall apart
Putting that blame on me
You're trying to blame me for our failed relationship when it was a mutual issue
Told you once
I warned you once
Told you twice
I gave you the same warning again a second time
You never listened to me
You never paid attention to my warnings and refused to change
Tried to keep
I made an effort to maintain
Our thing nice
Our relationship pleasant and enjoyable
You don't appreciate me
You didn't value and cherish me the way I deserved
Work my fingers to the bone
I worked extremely hard
I brought that paper home
I earned us money and financial stability
And that's why you're alone
Your ungratefulness and lack of acknowledgement led to our separation and your loneliness
You told me it's over
You expressed to me that our relationship was finished
Over and out finally figured it out
Our relationship is definitively over, and I've come to the realization that it was for the best
When it's over
After a relationship ends
And you're out of my life
You're no longer a part of my life and we're going our separate ways
