Just Another Day
Sam Bettens Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't matter what you say
Your fancy words are coming much too late
And you've been known
To sweep me off my feet
And you eloquently make up for the void you leave

It's just another day
Nothing's really changed

I can see it when you look at me
I know you don't believe in me
No you don't believe
No you don't believe in me

I let you make me feel alone
You made me think I didn't need much more
But I went along
For something real and warm
And I hate how I sat by and watched it go this long

It's just another day
Nothing's really changed
I can see it when you look at me
I know you don't believe in me
No you don't believe
No you don't believe in me

And I wish I never had to think of anything about you
But the years are there and I'll always be someone who said I loved you

It's just another day
Nothing's really changed
I can see it when you look at me
You never rest your eyes on me
I know you don't believe in me
No you don't believe
No you don't believe in me

Maybe this is all I need
To tell you I was never crazy about the girl you made me be

Overall Meaning

In "Just Another Day", Sam Bettens sings about a relationship that has lost its spark and trust. The first verse talks about how the other person's words are too late and how they try to compensate for their actions with their eloquence. The second verse reveals how the singer allowed themselves to feel alone and believed they didn't need anything more from the other person, even if it wasn't real or warm. The chorus repeats that it's just another day, and nothing has changed even though the singer can see it in the other person's eyes that they don't believe in them anymore. The final verse talks about how the singer wishes they could stop thinking about the other person but knows they always will be someone who said they loved them. The last line emphasizes that maybe this is all the singer needs to say they were never crazy about the person the other one turned them into.

The song conveys a sense of apathy towards the relationship, and the other person who has lost faith in the singer. The singer is hurt but seems to have accepted that the relationship is over and that nothing they could say or do would change it. They acknowledge the time wasted in a relationship built on false promises and long for a genuine connection.
