Conclusion
Much The Same Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try to make this right
To learn from past mistakes we made before
If you want, I'll leave you be to figure out yourself
Before you figure out what's defeating me
There's no one left to turn to,
Another time we'll try to forget who tried
And now we'll move on with our lives
Not shedding tears, I'll get by
You're better off without it
You're better off without him
You're better off without it
You're better off with anything
Now who came out the better person,
The better human being?
And I'd really like to thank you
For getting that person out of me
I'm wondering how you're doing and I'm wondering how you've been
And I really hope you're happy
That you're happier with him
That time we spent together,
Did it mean anything at all?
And I'm not gonna sit here wondering
Why you didn't call

They don't want to dwell on the past and wonders if the time they spent together was even meaningful. In the end, they express gratitude for the experience that helped them become a better person.
Overall, the song has a melancholic but hopeful tone that reflects the emotions that come with a breakup. It also highlights the importance of learning from past mistakes and leaving behind toxic relationships to grow as a person.
