Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She revealed she was weird
Broken nails, I would never
Try to leave something real
And I told ya conversations
Never went anywhere
And I know it'll last foreverShe can't quit it, she don't care
She got left on the side of the road
No one's gonna take her home again, my baby
Got left where no one knows
I never thought I'd see your face again
There was light
Big explosions
We believed it was real
Then she'd ice never talk to
Anyone that she knew
And I felt her devastation
We were lost in the fight
And I knew I couldn't leave her
I would love her through the night, oh
Got left on the side of the road
No one's gonna ever take you home again, my baby
Got left where no one knows I thought you were a better friend to me
My friend
Got left on the side of the road
No one's gonna take you home again, my baby
Got left where no one one knowsI thought you were a better friend to me, my friend, oh
I'm looking for you
See ya tonight
I'm looking for you
Maybe tonight
I'm looking for you
Got left on the side of the road
No one's gonna ever take you home again, baby
Got left and no one knows and no one's gonna tell you where to go
My friend
Got left on the side of the road
No one's gonna ever take you home again, baby
Got left where no one knows, I thought you were a better friend to me
My friend

In the time, I got to know her
As time passed, I grew familiar with her
She revealed she was weird
She confided in me about her strange nature
Broken nails, I would never
I would never abandon something genuine due to minor flaws
Try to leave something real
I would never abandon something genuine
And I told ya conversations
Our discussions and interactions
Never went anywhere
Were unproductive and pointless
And I know it'll last forever
Our relationship will never end
She can't quit it, she don't care
She is unable to leave this situation and is indifferent about it
She got left on the side of the road
She was abandoned without anywhere to go
No one's gonna take her home again, my baby
No one will offer her comfort or refuge
Got left where no one knows
Her whereabouts are unknown
I never thought I'd see your face again
I thought our relationship was over and I would never see her again
There was light
There was hope and positivity
Big explosions
Sudden, intense bursts of emotion and energy
We believed it was real
We had faith in our connection
Then she'd ice never talk to
She would withdraw from everyone
Anyone that she knew
All of her acquaintances and relationships
And I felt her devastation
I could sense her pain and sorrow
We were lost in the fight
We were struggling in our relationship
And I knew I couldn't leave her
I knew I needed to stay with her and support her
I would love her through the night, oh
I would stay with her and show her love and companionship
I'm looking for you
I am searching for her
See ya tonight
I will see her tonight
Maybe tonight
Perhaps I will see her tonight
No one's gonna ever take you home again, baby
No one will offer her comfort or refuge ever again
Got left and no one knows and no one's gonna tell you where to go
She was abandoned with no guidance and no one to turn to
I thought you were a better friend to me, my friend
I expected more from our relationship and feel let down
