So Sick
Ne-Yo(네요) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

(Enough is enough)
No more walking round with my head down
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?

(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
Let it go
Turning off the radio

'Cause 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
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Said 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?)

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
Why can't I turn off the radio?




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

Overall Meaning

In Ne-Yo's song So Sick, he reflects on the pain of a breakup and the struggle to move on. He begins the song by acknowledging that he still listens to his ex's voice on his answering machine, even though she has left him. He recognizes the irrationality of this action, but admits that it's the only way he can hear her voice anymore. Ne-Yo then goes on to express his frustration with his own inability to move on; he's been "so sick" of love songs and the constant reminders of his lost relationship, but still can't bring himself to turn off the radio. Even simple tasks like looking at his calendar and seeing the anniversary of their relationship is a painful reminder of his loss. Ne-Yo ultimately concludes the song by pleading for the radio to be turned off, as he tries to let go of the memories and heartbreak that he can't seem to escape.


Line by Line Meaning

Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
I need to change my voicemail message because it mentions us being unavailable to answer the phone together, even though you're no longer here.


And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door / But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
I realize it doesn't logically make sense to keep the message, since you left me, but it's the only way to hear your voice again.


(It's ridiculous) / It's been months and for some reason I just / (Can't get over us) / And I'm stronger than this
I know it's silly, but even after several months, I'm still struggling to move on from our relationship, despite my own belief that I am capable of doing so.


(Enough is enough) / No more walking round with my head down / I'm so over being blue, crying over you
I've had enough of feeling down and constantly crying about the end of our relationship. I'm ready to move on and stop feeling this way.


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?
I'm tired of listening to sad love songs and constantly feeling regretful about losing you, but for some reason, I can't stop listening to them, even though they make me feel worse.


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
I need to update my calendar since we no longer have an anniversary to celebrate. I'm exhausted from constantly thinking about you and our past, and every song now triggers a reminder of what we used to have.


(Leave me alone) / Leave me alone / (Stupid love songs) / Don't make me think about her smile / Or having my first child / Let it go / Turning off the radio
I need space to move on and these love songs only make it harder for me to let go of you. I can't keep thinking about your smile or the future we might have had together, so I need to turn off the radio and try to forget.


Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears / So done with wishing she was still here / Why can't I turn off the radio? / (Why can't I turn off the radio?)
I'm so worn out from constantly listening to sad love songs and missing my ex. I don't understand why I can't just turn off the radio and get over it.

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?
