Everything to Me
Maddie Zahm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To think that we would turn out so much different
Than anyone
(Than anyone)
But you′re too damn selfish
Right when I thought we had gotten over it
A hit-and-run
How could you do that to me?
How could you move on that quickly?
How could you say that I don't mean
Anything to you when you were everything to me
Yeah, you just packed up and left me
Taking my heart when you left your spare key
You′re going out and I'm losing sleep
Like it was nothing to you
Well it was everything to me
(Well it was everything to me)
I wish I wasn't used to this
But this one hurt ′cause you said you′d bе different
You made mе trust again
(You made me trust again)
I wish I would've never let you break down my walls
They′re going back up now they're twice as tall
Why couldn′t you have just left me alone?
How could you do that to me?
How could you move on that quickly?
How could you say that I don't mean
Anything to you when you were everything to me
Yeah, you just packed up and left me
Taking my heart when you left your spare key
You′re going out and I'm losing sleep
Like it was nothing to you
Well it was everything to me
I could hope someone makes you
Feel the way I do
But your heart is empty
I guess that's the issue
Wouldn′t even be sorry
If you saw how you hurt me
So I count myself lucky
How could you do that to me?
How could you move on that quickly?
How could you say that I don′t mean
Anything to you when you were everything to me
Yeah, you just packed up and left me
Taking my heart when you left your spare key
You're going out and I′m losing sleep
Like it was nothing to you
Well it was everything to me
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
The song "Everything to Me" by Maddie Zahm is about heartbreak and betrayal. The lyrics express the singer's confusion and pain after being left by someone who meant everything to her. She questions how the person could move on so easily and act like she didn't mean anything to them when they were everything to her. The line "How could you do that to me? How could you move on that quickly?" shows that the singer is hurt and feels like she was deceived.
The verse "I wish I wasn't used to this but this one hurt cause you said you'd be different" suggests that the singer has been through similar experiences before but thought it would be different this time. The chorus repeats the same questions, emphasizing the singer's feelings of shock and betrayal. The line "Taking my heart when you left your spare key" is particularly powerful, as it symbolizes how the person took everything from her and left without a second thought.
The bridge of the song offers some closure for the singer, as she expresses that she's lucky to be rid of the person who hurt her. She imagines that nothing could make the person feel sorry for what they did to her. The final chorus repeats the same questions, but the singer sounds stronger and more resolved in her delivery.
Overall, "Everything to Me" is a moving song that captures the pain of heartbreak and the process of moving on. It's a relatable song for anyone who has been through a similar experience.

Am I just that stupid
Do I lack intelligence to believe that we would end up divergent from everyone else?
But you're too damn selfish
However, you are excessively preoccupied with yourself
Right when I thought we had gotten over it
Just when it seemed to me that we have forgotten about it...
A hit-and-run
...It appears that you have fled suddenly and carelessly from us.
How could you do that to me?
I feel wronged by you. How could you hurt me like that?
How could you move on that quickly?
I am surprised at how rapidly you moved on.
How could you say that I don't mean anything to you
Furthermore, how could you claim that I hold no value in your life
When you were everything to me
when you matter the most to me?
Yeah, you just packed up and left me
You walked away from me suddenly
Taking my heart when you left your spare key
and in the process of leaving, you took my love and left behind your secondary key.
You're going out and I'm losing sleep
Here you are going out and I am having trouble sleeping
Like it was nothing to you
seemingly as if it means nothing to you.
Well it was everything to me
But what you did was everything to me.
I wish I wasn't used to this
I wish I had not become familiar with this occurrence
But this one hurt 'cause you said you'd be different
Yet, this wound hurts because of the promise you made to be dissimilar
You made me trust again
You restored my confidence in trusting people again.
I wish I would've never let you break down my walls
Regrettably, I made a mistake in allowing you to break down my strong barriers.
They're going back up now they're twice as tall
However, I am now reconstructing them even stronger and sturdier.
Why couldn't you have just left me alone?
I ponder why you could not have left me in peace.
I could hope someone makes you feel the way I do
I can only wish that someone makes you experience the feelings I am currently undergoing.
But your heart is empty
It seems your emotional state is barren
I guess that's the issue
And that appears to be the root cause of the issue
Wouldn't even be sorry
You would not even apologize
If you saw how you hurt me
if you saw the extent of the pain you caused.
So I count myself lucky
Therefore, I am fortunate
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
