Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time I ain't coming back
This time I swear I won't miss you, miss you
I swear I won't miss you
This time, I won't miss you
This time, I swear I won't miss you
Now you can do what you want care
You can smoke, you can fuck, I don't care what's upI'm on a different vibe right now
I don't really care right now about you
Don't care about you baby
This time I don't care
This time I don't care
You said that you love me but it’s not it
I've said that it’s cool cuz I'm done with this shit
But inside, deep inside I know that is a lie
So just come by my side let me hold you tonight
But this time, it’s over
This time, it's over I swear it's over
This time I swear it's over
This time it's over
I ain't gonna miss you, I ain't gonna miss you, baby
This time it's over
It's over
The lyrics to Myron Butler & Levi's song "Time After Time" reflect a sense of detachment and liberation from a toxic relationship. The singer conveys a sense of empowerment and determination not to beg for their partner's love or approval anymore. They declare that they won't come back and won't miss their partner anymore, indicating a clear decision to move on.
The singer emphasizes their indifference towards their partner's actions, stating that they don't care about their partner smoking or engaging in other activities. They assert that they are in a different state of mind and that their focus is no longer on their partner. The repeated phrase "I don't care" reinforces this sense of emotional detachment.
However, there is a contradiction within the singer's emotions. They admit that they know their claim of not caring is a lie and deep down, they long for their partner's presence. They invite their partner to come back and be by their side, implying a desire for reconciliation, despite their declaration that it's over.
Overall, "Time After Time" portrays a complex mix of emotions, ranging from assertiveness and liberation to longing and uncertainty. It explores the struggle of letting go of a toxic relationship while still battling the residual feelings that linger.
