Reprise
Prass Natalie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember you told me
That you'd love me only
And now you've gone and treated me like a fool
You never say where you're going
You stay out until the morning
And I know you've been treating me like a fool

All the loving I made
All the promises that I gave
Then you let me down
And ever story and every lie
Won't save you from me saying goodbye (Bye)

So tonight when you're out
You'll come back to an empty house
With a note signed "Sincerely, Your Fool"

All the loving I made
All the promises that I gave
Then you let me down
And ever story and every lie
Won't save you from me saying goodbye (Bye)

I built this new life before me
But you fill up my memory
And they haunt me like memories often do




And they tell me that I'll always be your fool
I guess I'll always be your fool

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Natalie Prass’ song “Reprise” tell the story of a woman who’s been mistreated by her lover. He had promised to love her only, but has since been unfaithful and dishonest, staying out until the morning and consistently lying to her. Despite her efforts to make the relationship work and the love she has given him, she is now fed up with his behavior and has decided to leave him. She leaves him a note, signing it “Sincerely, Your Fool.”


The chorus of the song repeats the phrases “All the loving I made/All the promises that I gave/Then you let me down/And every story and every lie/Won’t save you from me saying goodbye (Bye).” This is both an expression of her hurt and betrayal, and also a declaration of her strength and independence - she will not be held back by the negative actions of someone she loved.


The song’s title, “Reprise,” may suggest a reiteration or repetition, which could reflect the recurring nature of the singer’s feelings towards her lover. The final lines of the song, “I built this new life before me/But you fill up my memory/And they haunt me like memories often do/And they tell me that I’ll always be your fool/I guess I’ll always be your fool,” indicate a sense of ongoing attachment to this person, even as she tries to move on from the relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

I remember you told me
I recall the time when you expressed that you will love me always


That you'd love me only
You assured me of your exclusive love towards me


And now you've gone and treated me like a fool
Currently, you have acted irresponsibly towards me and made me feel stupid about loving you


You never say where you're going
You don’t share where you are headed off to


You stay out until the morning
You remain outside until it is late in the morning


And I know you've been treating me like a fool
I am aware of how much you have made me look stupid


All the loving I made
The love and affection I gave you


All the promises that I gave
All the pledges I made to you


Then you let me down
However, you betrayed my trust


And ever story and every lie
All the fabrications and lies you use cannot save you from our inevitable breakup (Bye)


So tonight when you're out
When you go out tonight


You'll come back to an empty house
You will return home to a lifeless dwelling


With a note signed "Sincerely, Your Fool"
You will receive a letter that says, 'Yours Truly, Your Stupid Lover'


I built this new life before me
I constructed a new life for myself


But you fill up my memory
But somehow, you fill up my thoughts and memory


And they haunt me like memories often do
Your memories keep disturbing me much like memories usually do


And they tell me that I'll always be your fool
And they keep reminding me that I will always be a foolish lover to you


I guess I'll always be your fool
I believe I will remain foolish for you forever
