KAÉ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cos I'm not giving you the keys
Let it go, let it go now, let me go and give me peace
As cold as stone we are
Or skin and bones, it's crazy
What's done is done
So hate me
If it makes it easy?
(Refrain)
So it's
Good bye to your little white lies
It wouldn't hurt to tell the truth sometimes
I'm sweet, yeah you better believe it
I'm not one to criticize
But you never had a smile that could reach the eyes
On three, on four
Close the door as you're leavin'
I have of late
Considered how I feel
And every day, every day now
It's becoming clear
I'm tired and wasted
And I can't take it,
So go ahead and hate me
If it makes it easy
(Refrain)
So it's
Good bye to your little white lies
It wouldn't hurt to tell the truth sometimes
I'm sweet, yeah you better believe it
I'm not one to criticize
But you never had a smile that could reach the eyes
On three, on four
Close the door as you're leavin'
Oooohhh yeah
Self pray, salvation
So damage inventation
I'm out of danger
From your rudy nature
So go ahead and hate me
If it makes it easy
(Refrain)
Good bye to your little white lies
It wouldn't hurt to tell the truth sometimes
I'm sweet, yeah you better believe it
And I'm not one to criticize
But you never had a smile that could reach the eyes
On three, on four
Close the door as you're leavin'
Think that you should know
Goodbye
'Cos this time, this time you better believe it
No more little white lies
No more little white lies
Close the door as you're leavin'
Bye Bye

Line by Line Meaning
Storm these walls
Fight against the barriers in our relationship
'Cos I'm not giving you the keys
Because I won't give you control over me
Let it go, let it go now, let me go and give me peace
Release your hold on me, let me move on and find peace
As cold as stone we are
Our relationship has turned cold and emotionless
Or skin and bones, it's crazy
We have become nothing more than a fragile shell of our former selves
What's done is done
There's no changing the past
So hate me
If hating me makes it easier for you
If it makes it easy?
If hating me makes your life easier
Good bye to your little white lies
I'm saying farewell to your deceitful behavior
It wouldn't hurt to tell the truth sometimes
Being honest would not cause any harm
I'm sweet, yeah you better believe it
I may be kind, and you should acknowledge it
I'm not one to criticize
I don't usually point out flaws
But you never had a smile that could reach the eyes
Your smiles never felt genuine or sincere
On three, on four
Counting to emphasize closing the door
Close the door as you're leavin'
Make sure to shut the door behind you when you leave
I have of late
Recently, I have
Considered how I feel
Thought about my own emotions
And every day, every day now
Each day, consistently
It's becoming clear
It's becoming obvious
I'm tired and wasted
I'm exhausted and drained
And I can't take it
I can't handle it anymore
So go ahead and hate me
If hating me is easier for you
Oooohhh yeah
Expressing a feeling of agreement or affirmation
Self pray, salvation
Finding inner strength and seeking redemption
So damage inventation
Avoiding the harmful influence and impact
I'm out of danger
I am no longer in a harmful or risky situation
From your rudy nature
From your rude and disrespectful behavior
Think that you should know
I believe you need to be aware
Goodbye
Farewell
'Cos this time, this time you better believe it
Because this time, you should truly believe it
No more little white lies
There will be no more small, deceiving lies
Close the door as you're leavin'
Make sure to shut the door behind you when you leave
Bye Bye
Goodbye
