I Could Swear
Oscar Lang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sat there staring with those eyes
Are you just wastin' all my time
'Cause I've seen you spun some pretty lies
I left and then we didn't talk
Couldn't bring myself to walk
Maybe it wasn't what I thought
You say you're sorry 'cause you're sorry you got caught
And I could swear
I see your haircut everywhere
And the shape of your lips
I memorized them when we kissed
And I've been trying to let them go
The little things I know
But all I do reminds me of you
My bubble burst and hit me with a fright
Where were you last Saturday night?
You said that you were seeing sights
I saw the truth between your lies
I left and then we didn't talk
Will this finally pull us apart?
You sat there sulking in the dark
You say you're sorry 'cause you're sorry you got caught
And I could swear
I see your haircut everywhere
And the shape of your lips
I memorized them when we kissed
And I've been trying to let them go
The little things I know
But all I do reminds me of you, hey
But all I do reminds me of you
But all I do reminds me of you
But all I do reminds me of you
"I Could Swear" by Oscar Lang is a song about a relationship gone sour. The singer in the song has been lied to by their partner and is now struggling to move on from the relationship. The opening line, "I tried to open up my mind," suggests that the singer has been trying to be open and honest with their partner, but feels like their efforts are being wasted. The partner just sits there staring at them with their eyes, implying that they are not really listening or caring about what the singer is saying.
The singer mentions that their partner has spun "some pretty lies," which suggests that they have been dishonest in the past. The line "You say you're sorry 'cause you're sorry you got caught" confirms this suspicion - the partner is only apologizing because they got caught in their lies, not because they are genuinely remorseful for their actions. The singer then says that they've been trying to forget about their partner, but they keep being reminded of them by little things like their haircut or the shape of their lips.
The second verse shows that things have escalated between the singer and their partner. The singer asks where their partner was on a particular Saturday night and implies that they were not where they said they were. This leads to another argument between the two, and the singer is left wondering if this will finally be the end of the relationship.
In summary, "I Could Swear" is a song about a relationship that is struggling due to dishonesty and a lack of communication. The singer is trying to move on but feels like they are being held back by memories of their partner.

I tried to open up my mind
I attempted to be vulnerable and let you in
You sat there staring with those eyes
You were looking at me intently
Are you just wastin' all my time
Are you simply wasting my time?
'Cause I've seen you spun some pretty lies
I've observed you telling some convincing lies in the past
I left and then we didn't talk
I departed, and we didn't communicate further
Couldn't bring myself to walk
I didn't have the strength to leave
Maybe it wasn't what I thought
Maybe my perception was incorrect
You say you're sorry 'cause you're sorry you got caught
You apologize because you were caught, not because you truly regret it
And I could swear
I am almost certain
I see your haircut everywhere
I encounter your hairstyle frequently
And the shape of your lips
The shape of your lips is etched in my memory
I memorized them when we kissed
I committed the shape of your lips to memory when we kissed
And I've been trying to let them go
I've been trying to forget them
The little things I know
The small details I recall
But all I do reminds me of you
Everything I do evokes memories of you
My bubble burst and hit me with a fright
My illusion was shattered, and I was frightened
Where were you last Saturday night?
Where were you on the previous Saturday evening?
You said that you were seeing sights
You claimed you were out seeing new things
I saw the truth between your lies
I saw the truth amidst your untruthfulness
Will this finally pull us apart?
Will this be the thing that finally ends our relationship?
You sat there sulking in the dark
You remained in the darkness, brooding
But all I do reminds me of you, hey
Everything I do conjures up memories of you
But all I do reminds me of you
Everything I do brings you to mind
But all I do reminds me of you
Every single thing I do reminds me of you
