So Sick
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmmm mmm yeah
Do do do do do do do-do
Ohh Yeah

Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cuz you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
It's ridiculous
It's been months
And for some reason I just
Can't get over us
And I'm stronger than this
Enough is enough
No more walkin round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Cryin over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be

That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Stupid love songs
Don't make me think about her smile
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio

Cuz I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?

Said I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishin' you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?




Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Justin Bieber's So Sick describe the aftermath of a breakup and the struggle to move on. The opening lines reveal a need to update an answering machine message because the previous message about not being able to answer the phone no longer applies since the person who left is no longer around. Bieber admits that the situation makes no sense and that he should be over it by now, yet he finds himself unable to let go. He's tired of the sorrowful love songs that remind him of the past and wants to move on, but he can't seem to turn off the radio and avoid the sad love songs playing on it.


The song's lyrics explore the theme of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from the loss of love. The verses describe the struggle to let go of memories and the constant reminders of the past through music, dates and objects that trigger memories. The chorus conveys the frustration of not being able to shake off these memories and move on, despite the conscious effort to do so.


The repetition of the phrase "So sick of love songs" acts as a metaphor for the singer's inability to move on completely. The phrase "turn off the radio" becomes a symbol of the desire to clear the mind and move on from the past.

Mmmh, mmmh, Yeah (doo, doo, dooo, doo)
Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
'Cause right now, it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
'Cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore

It's ridiculous
It's been months
And for some reason I just
Can't get over us
And I'm stronger than this, yeah
Enough is enough
No more walkin' round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Cryin' over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said, I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you

And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be
That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
She was still here

Said, I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?
