Cut Me Loose
Kiesza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just another kiss
After you swore to me
Now I can truly see
I should of known when you came to me
I had eyes on a treasure I couldn't keep
Got so buried in love I could hardly breathe
Now I'm starving
Stop wasting my time babe
No more changing your mind of me
Cut me loose
Do it for my sake
I'll be better on my own
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm breaking the silence
It's time that I do what's best for me
Cut me loose
And try to forget me
I'll be better own my own, on my own
I'll be better own my own, on my own
How did it all begin
Maybe I'm caving in
Nothing I know is clear
Where do I go from here
I should of known when you came to me
I had eyes on a treasure I couldn't keep
Got so buried in love I cold hardly breathe
Fed you all of my heart and swallowed me
Now I'm starving
Stop wasting your my babe
No more changing your mind of me
Cut me loose
Do it for my sake
I'll be better on my own
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm breaking the silence
It's time that I do what's best for me
Cut me loose
And try to forget me
I'll be better own my own, on my own
Lying low and giving my best not to fret
As I go on
'Cause I don't want even a breath of your sadness
To hope on, take nothing more,
I got no more to waste
Moving forward, there's too much to face
But I know that it's my only way
Stop wasting my time babe
No more changing your mind of me
Cut me loose
Do it for my sake
I'll be better on my own
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm breaking the silence
It's time that I do what's best for me
Cut me loose
And try to forget me
I'll be better own my own, on my own
I'll be better own my own, on my own
I'll be better own my own, on my own
The song "Cut Me Loose" by Kiesza tells the story of a woman who has been let down by a lover who promised her a lot but failed to deliver. The opening lines reveal that she has been betrayed by someone she trusted, and as a result, she is ready to move on. The first verse presents a narrative of a woman who was deeply in love but got swallowed up by her emotions, which left her feeling starved when there were no reciprocated feelings. She addresses her lover, saying she is tired of wasting time with him and wants to move on without any more changes of mind.
In the chorus, she pleads with her lover to cut her loose so she can find herself and move on with her life. She is breaking the silence and doing what's best for herself. She acknowledges that she will be better off alone and that it's time to forget about her.
In the second verse, the woman is questioning the beginning of their relationship and realizes that she might have been too sentimental in assuming that her love would be enough to make everything work. She concludes that nothing is clear anymore, and she has to make the decision to move on.
Overall, the song is about pain, self-discovery, and moving on. Kiesza's powerful vocals and emotive lyrics make the song relatable and inspiring.

So this is what it is
I've come to terms with the situation
I'm just another kiss
You didn't value me as much as I valued you
After you swore to me
You made promises you didn't keep
Now I can truly see
I understand the reality of the situation
I should of known when you came to me
I should have seen the warning signs
I had eyes on a treasure I couldn't keep
I wanted something that was never meant to be mine
Got so buried in love I could hardly breathe
I became so attached to you that it was suffocating
Fed you all of my heart and you swallowed me
I gave you everything and you took it all without giving back
Now I'm starving
I'm left feeling empty and unfulfilled
Stop wasting my time babe
I don't want to waste any more time on you
No more changing your mind of me
I can't handle the emotional rollercoaster anymore
Cut me loose
I want to end this relationship
Do it for my sake
Ending things will be better for both of us in the long run
I'll be better on my own
I'll be able to heal and move on from this
I'm breaking the silence
I'm speaking up and being honest about my feelings
It's time that I do what's best for me
I need to prioritize my own well-being
And try to forget me
I know it won't be easy, but I need you to move on from me
I'll be better own my own, on my own
I'm confident that I'll be able to thrive without you
Lying low and giving my best not to fret
I'm trying to stay grounded and not let my emotions overwhelm me
As I go on
I'm moving forward
'Cause I don't want even a breath of your sadness
I don't want any remnants of our relationship to affect me
To hope on, take nothing more
I don't want to hold onto any false hope
I got no more to waste
I don't want to waste any more time on this relationship
Moving forward, there's too much to face
I know there are challenges ahead, but I'm ready to face them head-on
But I know it's my only way
I know that ending this relationship is the right decision for me
