Cut Me Loose
Kiesza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So this is what it is
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
Fed you all of my heart and you swallowed me
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

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

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

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
