Could It Be
Mija Martina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're feeling blue,
Don't know what do to solo.
Cos you were always lyin'
Now you're cryin'
Just because I'm through with you.

Could it be?
Could it be?

Is it true?
I was fooled that I could die for you,
Tell me, Tell me,
Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

You tried to break my heart,
But there was not a start.
When you were cheating me baby.
Believe me, You hurt me.
You made me go away.
It was the only way,
To turn and run away.
Bye, Bye, Bye.
Don't ever lie.

Could it be?
Could it be?
Is it true?
I was fooled that I could die for you,
Tell me, Tell me,
Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

Could it be?
Could it be?
Is it true?
I was fooled that I could die for you,
Tell me, Tell me,
Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

I couldn't stand the lie,
Now you are doomed to cry.
Bye, Bye, Bye.
Don't ever lie ahaaa.

Could it be?
Could it be?
Is it true?
I was fooled that I could die for you,
Tell me, Tell me,
Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

Could it be?
Could it be?
Is it true?
I was fooled that I could die for you,
Tell me, Tell me,
Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

Could it be?
Could it be?
Is it true?
I was fooled that I could die for you,
Tell me, Tell me,
Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

Tell me, Tell me.

Can't you see,
You'll never die for me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mija Martina's "Could It Be" tell the story of a breakup caused by dishonesty and betrayal. The singer is addressing her ex-partner, who is feeling blue and alone after being caught lying. The relationship has ended, and the singer is saying that it's because of the ex-partner's actions, saying "just because I'm through with you."

The chorus repeats the same questions: "Could it be? Is it true?" The singer had believed that she could "die for" her ex-partner, but she was fooled. The ex-partner will never "die for" her, and the relationship is over.

The second verse confirms the ex-partner's infidelity, saying that they "tried to break [her] heart", but there was "not a start". The singer was hurt and had to "turn and run away" to escape the relationship. The bridge repeats the chorus and emphasizes the idea that the ex-partner will never be trustworthy, saying "Don't ever lie" and "Now you are doomed to cry."

Line by Line Meaning

You're feeling blue,
You are sad and uncertain

Don't know what do to solo.
You are unsure how to cope on your own

Cos you were always lyin'
Because you were constantly dishonest

Now you're cryin'
You are upset and shedding tears

Just because I'm through with you.
Because I have ended things between us

Could it be?
Is it possible?

Is it true?
Did that really happen?

I was fooled that I could die for you,
I was mistaken to believe that I loved you so deeply

Tell me, Tell me,
Explain it to me

Can't you see,
Don't you understand?

You'll never die for me.
You will never feel true love for me
