Me Over You
Lauren Weintraub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The friendships I ruin
And the actions I keep choosing
I think I'm getting me over you
I'm tired of waking up with headaches
Cheap tequila mistakes
Not remembering what I say
Or what I do
My hair smelling like cigarettes
Somewhere with somebody I'll forget
'Cause I'm scared of sleeping with just the truth
I'm sick of everything I'm doing I think is getting me over you
I'm tired of losing little pieces every weekend of the girl I knew
I quit respecting myself to cover up what I felt
But it ain't closure I got closer to
I think that maybe it's time I start choosing me over you
Me over you
Me over you
No more poison in my body
And tryna cancel it with coffee
No more half-hearted "I'm sorry"'s
Anymore
What I need is time to let myself heal
Separate fake from what's real
'Til I don't hate the way that I feel
Anymore
Oh, oh
No more, kissing on my enemies
Drug store, hangover remedies
No cure is ever gonna get me through
I'm sick of everything I'm doing I think is getting me over you
I'm tired of losing little pieces every weekend of the girl I knew
I quit respecting myself to cover up what I felt
But it ain't closure I got closer to
I think that maybe it's time I start choosing me over you
Me over you
Me over you
That I start choosing me over you (Over you, over you)
Me over you
That I start choosing me over you (Ooh, over you, over you)
Starting right now
I'ma treat myself better
Starting right now
Right now 'til forever
'Cause I'm sick of everything I'm doing I think is getting me over you
I'm tired of losing little pieces every weekend of the girl I knew
I quit respecting myself (Myself)
To cover up what I felt
But it ain't closure I got closer to (Ooh-woah woah)
I think that maybe it's time I start choosing me over you
Me over you
Me over you
That I start choosing me over you (Over you, over you)
Me over you
That I start choosing me over you (Ooh, Over you, over you)
Me over you
The lyrics of "Me Over You" by Lauren Weintraub reflect the internal struggle and journey of self-discovery and self-care after a tumultuous relationship. The singer is expressing frustration with their own behavior and actions that they believe are a result of trying to move on from a past relationship. The repetition of being sick of the things they are doing and tired of losing pieces of themselves indicates a pattern of self-destructive behavior as a coping mechanism to deal with the pain of the past.
The mention of waking up with headaches, cheap tequila mistakes, and not remembering one's actions all symbolize a reckless lifestyle that is used as a distraction from dealing with the emotional aftermath. The line about being scared of facing the truth while sleeping reflects a fear of confronting the reality of the failed relationship and the unresolved feelings that linger beneath the surface.
The lyrics also touch on the singer's struggle with self-respect and the realization that their attempts to move on by losing themselves in harmful behaviors have only brought them further from true closure. The decision to prioritize one's own well-being and healing over the lingering attachment to the past relationship is a crucial turning point in the song. The repetition of choosing "me over you" signifies a shift towards self-love and self-preservation.
The refrain of "Starting right now, I'ma treat myself better, right now 'til forever" conveys a sense of determination and commitment to self-improvement and self-care. The singer acknowledges the need to distance themselves from toxic influences, both internal and external, and to focus on their own growth and well-being. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Me Over You" convey a message of empowerment and self-realization, as the singer chooses to prioritize their own happiness and self-worth over clinging to a past that no longer serves them.

I'm sick of all the shit I'm doing
I'm tired of my destructive behavior
The friendships I ruin
I've damaged important relationships
And the actions I keep choosing
I continue making bad decisions
I think I'm getting me over you
I believe I'm moving on from you
I'm tired of waking up with headaches
I'm exhausted from the consequences of my actions
Cheap tequila mistakes
Regrettable decisions made under the influence
Not remembering what I say
I have trouble recalling my own words
Or what I do
My actions are unclear to me
My hair smelling like cigarettes
I associate myself with unhealthy habits
Somewhere with somebody I'll forget
Engaging in transient relationships
'Cause I'm scared of sleeping with just the truth
I fear facing reality alone
No more poison in my body
I am committed to self-care and health
And tryna cancel it with coffee
I won't use unhealthy coping mechanisms
No more half-hearted 'I'm sorry's
I will be sincere in my apologies
What I need is time to let myself heal
I require time to recover and grow
Separate fake from what's real
Distinguish between truth and falsehood
'Til I don't hate the way that I feel
Until I find peace with my emotions
No more, kissing on my enemies
I will avoid toxic relationships
Drug store, hangover remedies
I won't rely on quick fixes for my struggles
No cure is ever gonna get me through
There is no easy solution to my pain
Starting right now
From this moment onward
I'ma treat myself better
I will prioritize self-care and self-respect
Right now 'til forever
Permanently, starting immediately
