Betty Blue
Phases Lyrics

For so long, I guess the feeling wasn't right
The singer had a sense that something was wrong in the relationship for a while.

Let me down, I guess I thought you might
The singer had expectations of the other person, and feels disappointed that they weren't met.

Just a kid, I had those unsuspecting eyes
The singer was younger and more naive when the relationship began.

Now looking now, I bet you're wondering why
The artist thinks the other person is probably confused about the sudden change in attitude.

The more I think, the more it eats me up inside
The artist is struggling with their emotions and thoughts about the situation.

The more I think, it kinda hurts to hide
The singer feels like they're keeping something important inside and it's causing them pain.

What I wanna say
The singer has something they want to express, but have been holding back.

I really wanna say
The artist feels very strongly about what they need to communicate.

Damn
An expression of frustration and disappointment.

I guess I thought you were cooler
The artist had a higher opinion of the other person than they do now.

All my friends tell me they see you stepping out
People around the singer have noticed the other person's behavior.

Making a fool of me and running 'round
The artist feels embarrassed by the other person's actions and thinks they're being taken advantage of.

You kiss my face and say I haven't settled down
The other person is trying to reassure the singer, but they're not convinced.

Tell me they don't know what they're talkin' 'bout
The singer doesn't want to believe what they're hearing from others.

The more I hear, the more I wanna scream and shout
The singer is becoming increasingly upset as more information is revealed to them.

I think I finally found
The artist has come to a realization about the situation.

It isn't over 'til it's over, but I'm sick and tired of feeling like a sitting duck
The artist recognizes that the relationship isn't necessarily over yet, but they're frustrated with waiting for things to change.

It ain't my business to be changing you or taming you or helping you, I'm growing up
The singer doesn't feel responsible for fixing the other person, and wants to focus on their own personal growth.

I guess I had enough
The singer has reached the limit of what they can tolerate in the relationship.

What I gotta say
The artist has something they feel they need to get off their chest.

I didn't wanna say
The artist has been holding back their true feelings about the situation.
