Point Of View
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the final time,
So did I make you happy?
Because you cried an ocean,
When there's a thousand lines,
About the way you smile,
Written in my mind,
But every single word's a lie.
I never wanted everything to end this way,
But you can take the bluest sky and turn it grey.
I swore to you that I would do my best to change,
But you said it don't matter,
I'm looking at you from another point of view,
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you,
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do.
Is this a sign from Heaven,
Showing me the light?
Was this supposed to happen?
I'm better off without you,
So you can leave tonight,
'N don't you dare come back and try to make things right,
'Cause I'll be ready for a fight, yeah.
I never wanted everything to end this way,
But you can take the bluest sky and turn it grey.
I swore to you that I would do my best to change,
But you said it don't matter,
I'm looking at you from another point of view,
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you,
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do.
I never wanted everything to end this way,
But you can take the bluest sky and turn it grey.
I swore to you that I would do my best to change,
But you said it don't matter,
I'm looking at you from another point of view,
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you,
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do.
And you said, and you said, and you said,
(I Do)
And you said, and you said, and you said,
(Do)
And you said it don't matter.
(I do)
And you said, and you said, and you said,
(Do)
And you said, and you said, and you said,
(I do)
And you said it don't matter.
(I do)
And you said, and you said, and you said,
(Do)
And you said, and you said, and you said,
(I do)
And you said it don't matter.
And you said, and you said, and you said,
And you said, and you said, and you said,
And you said it don't matter.
The song "Point of View" by McFly is a heart-wrenching ballad about a failed relationship. The singer is tired of trying to fix things with his partner, and in the chorus, he explains that he's looking at his partner from another point of view. He doesn't understand how he fell in love with someone who doesn't appreciate him, and he wishes that no one has to feel the way he does.
The song goes back and forth between moments of sadness and moments of anger. In the first verse, the singer is asking his partner if he made her happy, even though he knows that it's the final time he'll ask. He's frustrated that his efforts to save the relationship weren't enough, and his partner's tears only add to his confusion. The second verse finds the singer feeling empowered after the breakup. He wonders if the relationship was meant to end and concludes that he's better off without his partner. He doesn't want her to come back and try to make things right because he's ready to fight back.
Overall, "Point of View" is a powerful reflection on love, heartbreak, and the different perspectives we bring to relationships. It's a raw and emotional song that captures the pain of a broken heart.
