So Sick
Ne-Yo\x01Neyo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mm, mm, yeah
Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah

Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
'Cause right now it says that "We can't come to the phone"
And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
(It's ridiculous)
It's been months and for some reason I just
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this, yeah

(Enough is enough)
No more walking round with my head down (yeah)
I'm so over being blue, crying over you

And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I have that's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memory
And now every song reminds me of what used to be

That's the reason I'm
So sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio? Oh-oh-oh

(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Hey, don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio

'Cause I'm so sick of love songs (hey), so tired of tears (so tired of tears)
So done with wishing (oh) she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (ooh-oh)
So why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?)

Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears (so tired of tears, yeah)
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (hey)
Why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?)

And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears (I'm so sick of love songs)
So done with wishing you were still here (so done and I'm so sick of love songs)
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow (so done and I'm so sick of love songs)
Why can't I turn off the radio? (hey)




(Why can't I turn off the radio?)
Why can't I turn off the radio?

Overall Meaning

"So Sick" by Ne-Yo is a song about the aftermath of a breakup and the lingering emotions that come with it. The singer reflects on the pain and heartache he experiences as he tries to move on from a past relationship.


In the first verse, Ne-Yo talks about changing his answering machine message because it still mentions both him and his ex. Even though he knows it's illogical to keep her voice on there since she walked out the door, he admits that it's the only way he can still hear her voice. This shows that he is still longing for her even though they are no longer together.


The chorus emphasizes Ne-Yo's frustration with love songs and his tiredness of shedding tears over the lost relationship. He expresses that he is fed up with longing for his ex and wishing she were still with him. He questions why he can't simply turn off the radio and escape the constant reminders of their past.


In the second verse, Ne-Yo mentions the pain he feels when he sees certain dates on his calendar, particularly July 15th, which used to be their anniversary. Without her presence in his life, these milestones no longer hold the same significance, and he is tired of being reminded of what they had.


The bridge of the song shows Ne-Yo's determination to let go of the memories and thoughts of his ex. He pleads for the love songs to leave him alone and criticizes their ability to evoke memories of moments he once cherished. He wants to move on and turn off the radio, implying that he wants to distance himself from anything that reminds him of his past relationship.


Overall, "So Sick" explores the feeling of heartbreak, the struggle to let go, and the desire to escape the constant reminders of lost love. It showcases the emotional journey of someone trying to heal and move on from a painful breakup.

Lyrics:
Mmmh, mmmh, Yeah (doo, doo, dooo, doo)
Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
'Cause right now, it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
'Cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore

It's ridiculous
It's been months
And for some reason I just
Can't get over us
And I'm stronger than this, yeah
Enough is enough
No more walkin' round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Cryin' over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said, I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you

And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be
That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
She was still here

Said, I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?
