Oh My
Ladyhawke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothing else to do
All my life I feel like I can
I'm writing songs for you
I know it's nothing new
All my lines can't stop you cryin'
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You came, you came beside
Don't lie, you see another day
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You try, I wonder why
You can't, you can't decide
Don't lie, you see another day
You turn away from me
I try to make you see
All your life you run from trying
I've waited patiently, but patience has a fee
All my love has gone unnoticed
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You try I wonder why
You came, you came beside
Don't lie, you see another day
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You try, I wonder why
You can't, you can't decide
Don't lie, you see another day
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You try I wonder why
You came, you came beside
Don't lie, you see another day
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You try I wonder why
You came, you came beside
Don't lie, you see another day
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You try I wonder why
You came, you came beside
Don't lie, you see another day
The lyrics of Ladyhawke's song "Oh My" describe the frustration and longing of someone who is deeply and hopelessly in love with another person who seems unable to reciprocate those feelings. Throughout the song, the singer speaks of writing music and lyrics as a way of expressing their emotions and attempting to capture the attention of the object of their affections, but ultimately feeling like their efforts are in vain.
The repeated phrase "Oh my" seems to be a kind of exclamation of disbelief and sadness at the situation, as the singer wonders why the person they love can't seem to make up their mind or see things clearly. Despite the pain and disappointment of unrequited love, the singer continues to hold out hope that the person they love will come around and see them in a different light.
Overall, the lyrics of "Oh My" capture the universal experience of loving someone who doesn't love you back, and the frustration and confusion that come with trying to express those feelings.

I observe your attempts to change but don't understand your motives
You came, you came beside
You are present, but not fully engaged with me
Don't lie, you see another day
Don't deceive yourself or me, a new day is coming whether changes are made or not
You can't, you can't decide
You are indecisive and uncertain about our relationship
You turn away from me
You avoid facing the truth in our situation
I try to make you see
I make an effort to communicate my feelings to you
All your life you run from trying
You have a history of avoiding challenges and opportunities
I've waited patiently, but patience has a fee
I have given you time and space, but waiting comes at a cost
All my love has gone unnoticed
Despite my efforts, you seem unaware of or unresponsive to my love

She's awesome. Hope pop could take a lesson from her and go back to these sounds... so tired of the repetitive shit on the radio.
