KC Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say want love just like I do
But when you’re looking, you see right through
I guess I’ll never be someone to you
It’s so hard to admit
But this love is one sided
I know I should quit
Don’t wanna be reminded
Maybe we’re just not compatible
Maybe we’re just not compatible
Maybe we’re just not compatible
I think about you every single day
I keep repeating every word you say
You keep on talking but not to me
I guess that this is how it’s gonna stay
It’s so hard to admit
But this love is one sided
I know I should quit
Don’t wanna be reminded
Maybe we’re just not compatible
Maybe we’re just not compatible
Maybe we’re just not compatible
(We can’t control our destiny)
(You need someone but it’s not me)
Maybe we’re just not compatible
(It may be hard but it’s true)
(I need someone but it’s not you)
Maybe we're just not compatible
Maybe we're just not compatible
Compatible
Maybe we're just not
Maybe we're just not compatible
Maybe we're just not
Maybe we're just not
Maybe we're just not compatible

The final repetition of "Maybe we're just not compatible" drives home the theme of the song, emphasizing the bittersweet realization that sometimes love is not enough to make a relationship work.
