Break Up a Bit
Peg Parnevik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that you know me
No-no-no-no you don't
You say that you love me
Shu-shu-shut your mouth
No, I used to think you were holy
But now I, now I know

High on all the ways you move
Your antics got me sober
I've been feeling something, baby
Since we said it's over

We've been up here before
Slamming cars, slamming doors
Tangled up on the floor
I know I cannot let you go
We've been up here before
Starting fights, starting wars
And I still come back for more
I know I cannot let you go

We've been up here before
I know, I know I cannot let you go
We've been up here before
I know, I know I cannot let you go
And we break, break up a bit
Falling back then break, break up a bit

Call me up at a party
Say, say you're just a friend
But you're not even holy
Nah, nah, we're more than that
No, I used to think we were rollin'
Used to think we were golden

High on all the ways you move
Your antics got me sober
I've been feeling something, baby
Since we said it's over

We've been up here before
Slamming cars, slamming doors
Tangled up on the floor
I know I cannot let you go
We've been up here before
Starting fights, starting wars
And I still come back for more
I know I cannot let you go

We've been up here before
I know, I know I cannot let you go
We've been up here before
I know, I know I cannot let you go
And we break, break up a bit
Falling back then break, break up a bit
We break, break up a bit
Falling back then break, break up a bit

We break up a bit
We break, break up a bit
Oh, we break up a bit
Falling back then break, break up a bit

We've been up here before
Slamming cars, slamming doors
Tangled up on the floor
I know I cannot let you go (I can't let you go)
We've been up here before
Starting fights, starting wars (starting up a war)
And I still come back for more
I know I cannot let you go (no)

And we break, break up a bit
Falling back then break, break up a bit
And we've been up here before
Starting fights, starting wars




And I still come back for more
I know I cannot let you go

Overall Meaning

In "Break Up a Bit," Peg Parnevik's lyrics focus on the complexity of breaking up with someone who you know is not good for you. She rebuffs her ex's claims that he loves her and knows her well, suggesting that they were never "golden" or "holy" and that he needs to "shut [his] mouth." Despite this, she acknowledges that his "antics got [her] sober," indicating that she was once addicted to the relationship, and that she still feels something for him even though they've broken up.


The chorus of the song features an interesting play on words, with the phrase "break up a bit" functioning both as a reference to their relationship breaking apart and as a command to "break up" their toxic patterns of behavior. Peg sings about how they've "been up here before," "slamming cars, slamming doors," and "starting fights, starting wars," signaling that this relationship dynamic is familiar to both of them. Although she knows that she "cannot let [him] go," she also recognizes that they need to change something to move forward, hence the repetition of the chorus.


Overall, the song's lyrics suggest that relationships are complex and that sometimes it's hard to let go of someone even when you know you should. Peg Parnevik's use of metaphors and wordplay adds an extra layer of meaning to the song, making it both sonically and thematically engaging.

But you really have no idea


You say that you love me
You express strong affection for me


Shu-shu-shut your mouth
But you should probably keep quiet


No, I used to think you were holy
I used to believe that you were perfect

I have been experiencing a certain feeling


Since we said it's over
Ever since we ended things between us

We have already been in this same situation


Slamming cars, slamming doors
Back then, we were reckless and violent towards each other


Tangled up on the floor
We were physically intertwined and out of control

Despite everything, I feel unable to move on from you


Starting fights, starting wars
We have also been confrontational and belligerent


And I still come back for more
However, I am still drawn to you

Falling back then break, break up a bit
We keep going back and forth, never fully moving on from each other


Call me up at a party
You contact me while you're out having fun


Say, say you're just a friend
But you claim that we are just friends


But you're not even holy
But deep down, you are not even close to perfect


Nah, nah, we're more than that
Actually, we are more than just friends


No, I used to think we were rollin'
I used to believe that everything was perfect between us


Used to think we were golden
I used to believe that we had a bright future together


And we break up a bit
But now, we still have moments where we fall apart


We break up a bit
Our relationship is in a constant state of breaking down


Oh, we break up a bit
We have frequent moments of conflict and disagreement
