Call Your Girlfriend
Kait Weston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say its not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset second guessing everything you've said and done
And the when she gets upset tell how you never ment to hurt no one
And you tell her that only way her heart will mend
And it won't make sense right now, but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
Its time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say its not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Don't you tell her how I gave you something that you never even knew you missed
Don't you even try and explain how its so different when we kissed
You just tell her that the only way her heart will mend
Is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now, but your'e still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
Its time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say its not her fault
But you just met somebody new
And now its gonna be me and you
Ooooo ohhhh yeahh ooo
You just tell her that the only way her heart will mend
Is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now, but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
The lyrics of Kait Weston's "Call Your Girlfriend" describe a conversation between two people, one of whom has found someone new and is breaking the news to their current partner.

They suggest telling her that it's not her fault and that she should focus on healing and finding love again, even as they're moving on themselves.
The singer also encourages the person not to mention their new partner or the things they miss about their old relationship. Instead, they should reassure their girlfriend that they still care about her and want to remain friends.
Overall, the song is about the difficult process of ending a relationship and trying to minimize hurt and pain for all involved. It acknowledges the complexity of emotions involved in such circumstances, but ultimately advocates for honesty and kindness.
