Sober
Mahalia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna get you off cos this ain't right now
You said it was a vibe for the time being
It was nothing more but I just couldn't see it
This is not a song for the whole world
Felt like it could've been us against the whole world
Maybe you were mine and I was your girl
Whatever happened to the time that we spent
Mahalia's song Sober is a deeply emotional track that explores the aftermath of a romantic relationship that has ended. The lyrics are an introspective reflection of the singer's thoughts and feelings as she tries to come to terms with the reality of the situation. Throughout the song, the singer expresses her desire to move on from the relationship but finds herself struggling to let go of the memories and emotions that she shared with her former partner.
The song begins with the singer admitting that her ex-partner has been on her mind for a while now. She acknowledges that she needs to move on, but finds it difficult to let go of the feelings that she has for them. The chorus of the song expresses the emotional confusion that she experiences as she tries to make sense of what went wrong. It is clear that the singer invested a lot of time and energy into the relationship and is struggling to come to terms with the fact that it is over.
The second verse of the song is particularly poignant as the singer remembers the happy times that they shared together. She wonders what happened to the time that they spent together and ponders what could have been if things had been different. Ultimately, the song is a heartfelt message about the pain and confusion that can come with the end of a relationship.

Lyrics:
Now that I am sober
I take back what I said
I'm sittin' with this love hangover
And boy, it's hurtin' my head
It's the middle of october
Oh we just came to an end
I'm just sorry that there ain't no time left
You and I, we're over
Me and you are done
When I wanted to be closer
You just wanted to run
Though I know it's no one's fault
If I've learned anything at all
With us no matter how I add it up
One plus one is none
You've been on my mind for a while now
Tryna get you off cos this ain't right now
You said it was a vibe for the time being
It was nothing more but I just couldn't see it
This is not a song for the whole world
Felt like it could've been us against the whole world
Maybe you were mine and I was your girl
Whatever happened to the time that we spent
Sober
I take back what I said
I'm sittin' with this love hangover
And boy, it's hurtin' my head
It's the middle of october
Oh we just came to an end
I'm just sorry that there ain't no time left
You and I, we're over
Me and you are done
When I wanted to be closer
You just wanted to run
Though I know it's no one's fault
If I've learned anything at all
With us no matter how I add it up
One plus one is none
I've been at this party for some time now
Sipping on Bacardi 'til it runs out
You are in the corner with your head down
I don't even wanna know what that's about
'Cause you're the one that always gets too wasted
And I'm the one that's never that intoxicated
Tonight I'm in my feelings, yeah, I'm faded
But I don't wanna think about the complicated
Oh your love got me feeling like I can't
Get up, wishing for it but it never lasts
I thought we'd be together
Oh it ended so fast
Now that I am sober
I take back what I said
I'm sittin' with this love hangover
And boy, it's hurtin' my head
It's the middle of october
Oh we just came to an end
I'm just sorry that there ain't no time left
You and I, we're over
Me and you are done
When I wanted to be closer
You just wanted to run
Though I know it's no one's fault
If I've learned anything at all
With us no matter how I add it up
One plus one is none
