Call Your Girlfriend
Lennon Maisy Stella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give your reasons, say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset,
Second guessing everything you said and done
And when she gets upset tell her
How you never meant to hurt no one
And tell her that the only way her heart will mend
But it won't make sense right now
'Cause you're still her friend and that you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend, I think it's time you talked (time you talked)
Give your reasons, (ohhh) say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
And tell her when I give you something
That you never even knew you missed
Don't even try and explain
How it's so different when we kiss
And tell her that the only way her heart will mend
Is when she learns to love again
But it won't make sense right now
'Cause you're still her friend and that you let her down easy
The lyrics of Lennon & Maisy Stella’s song Call Your Girlfriend is a conversation between someone who has just met somebody new and thinks it's time to break up with their girlfriend, and someone who advises them how to navigate that conversation. The song talks about having empathy for the person you are breaking up with and being honest about your reasons for ending the relationship.
The song suggests that the person breaking up should call their girlfriend and explain that they met someone new, but also that it's not her fault. The lyrics tell the person to be there for their girlfriend so she does not second-guess everything that was done and said during their relationship. The song also talks about how the breakup may not make sense now, but that the girlfriend will eventually heal and learn to love again.
Throughout the song, there is a feeling of sadness and empathy for both parties in the relationship. It addresses the feeling of missing something that was not obvious before (“that you never even knew you missed”) when the person met someone new. Overall, it’s a beautiful song that explores the complexity of a breakup and the emotions that come with it.
