Michael Warren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta stop the hopin and the wishin
the things you do are never gonna change
all you?ll ever do is stay the same
all I really wants some honesty
but you wouldn?t give the truth to me
now its time to leave
its not over cuz I never had you
but I guess by now you probably heard
you aint welcome round no more
its time you cross that bridge you burned
guess is your lesson learned
took a chance but now I see
some things just aint meant to be
that?s the end of you and me
so just leave
aint it crazy how it seems one day
things are so perfect, aint never gonna change
and then outta nowhere, I?m throwin all our pictures away
and one day you gon? see
you can?t come runnin back to me
but it?ll be too late to try
cuz its not over cuz I never had you
and now karma is about to lead you
but I guess by now you probably heard
you aint welcome round no more
its time you cross that bridge you burned
guess is your lesson learned
took a chance but now I see
some things just aint meant to be
that?s the end of you and me
cuz its not over cuz I never had you
im letting go of the life I built around you
I?m letting go cuz im so much more without you
Im letting go
Im letting go
I guess by now you probably heard
you aint welcome round no more
its time you cross that bridge you burned
guess is your lesson learned
took a chance but now I see
some things just aint meant to be
that?s the end of you and me
but I guess by now you probably heard
you aint welcome round no more
its time you cross that bridge you burned
guess is your lesson learned
took a chance but now I see
some things just aint meant to be
that?s the end of you and me
In "You Ain't Welcome," Michael Warren discusses an ending in a relationship. He asserts that he is no longer willing to hope or wish for change, as the other person's behavior has remained constant. All he wants is honesty, but even that is denied to him. Therefore, he's made the decision to leave.
Warren acknowledges that this is not the end, as he has never truly had the other person. It's karma that will lead them, and his former partner can no longer return. He explains that he will no longer hold onto the life he built around them, as he is much more happy without them. The song ends with the reality that they are no longer together, and he has moved on.
The song touches on the themes of decision-making, honesty, change, and moving forward. Warren's powerful vocal performance conveys deep regret and determination to move on. The lyrics are relatable, and many people may find they have faced similar situations in their lives.

I was watching CMT videos and he comes on. Where have I been all these years?! I never knew he existed until tonight. Now I've spent the past 20+ minutes listening to him. I love his voice.

What people fail to understand is that when you break up, it means there's no more feeling pity.

I glad I’m strong enough to leave, I was so blinded by his love and his lies. The truth is that I didn’t lose anything, but he lost everything. Open your eyes and listen to your heart, your heart sees what sometimes your eyes are blinded to. Love is confident and true. Learn to love yourself ❤️

I had my high school best friend and fiancé cheat and leave me after 5 years. Never saw it coming. This song really helped me. I appreciate you Michael and I hope you never give up on your career. You're incredible bro.
