She Wants What She Wants
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We stopped talking 'bout tomorrow
Even the silence is deafening
As she uneasily checks her phone
I know something's not right
Something, someone she's hiding
The tear in her eye, it says it all
Oh, but she wants what she wants
Oh, and she needs what she needs
Oh, and she loves who she loves
And it ain't me
I'm putting pieces together
Sitting here in this empty room
I think I know why she had to leave
It's one of those things that really wasn't meant to be
Oh, but she wants what she wants
Oh, and she needs what she needs
Oh, and she loves who she loves
And it ain't me, no, it ain't me
Oh, I've been through the pain and disbelief
Now I'm left with the sense of sad relief
Oh 'cause she wants what she wants
She needs what she needs
Oh, and she loves who she loves
It ain't me
She wants what she wants
Oh, and she needs what she needs
She loves who she loves
And it ain't me, no, it ain't me
In "She Wants What She Wants," Lonestar tells the story of a relationship that has come to an end. The singer has noticed a change in his partner's behavior - she won't look him in the eye, they've stopped talking about the future and things just don't feel right. He senses that she's hiding something or possibly someone, and when she finally reveals the truth through a tear in her eye, he knows that their relationship is over.
Despite the pain and betrayal that he experienced, the singer seems to have accepted the situation. He understands that his ex-partner wants and needs what she wants and needs, and that it's not his place to try to change her mind. Although it's clear that he still cares for her, he's come to terms with the fact that she loves someone else and it's time to move on.
The lyrics are simple but poignant, capturing the emotional turmoil of a relationship that just wasn't meant to be. The singer's acceptance of the situation is a stark contrast to the initial desperation he shows when realizing that something has gone awry in the relationship. The song speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the emotional journey that follows.
