July
Sir Chloe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I say sorry would you tell me I did everything I could?
I don't know why I'm fighting
But you're stronger than I am tonight
Can't say goodbye
You're prettier than anything I've seen in my whole life
In late July, in late July
I can't remember why
In late July you said, "Goodbye"
I was so happy I could cry
So happy I could cry
Evil secret you're the precious thing I hide behind my tongue
I'd be foolish if I trusted you with everything you've done
Call me up, listen as I dissolve
I'll pretend to understand at all
In late July, in late July
I was so happy I could cry
I can't remember why
In late July you said, "Goodbye"
I was so happy I could cry
So happy I could cry
The lyrics of Sir Chloe's song "July" evoke feelings of regret and longing, confusion and loss. The first two lines of the song express a desperate plea for connection and understanding, an apology in disguise for actions that remain unexplained. The singer is fighting a battle that is not specified, but it is clear that whoever she is singing to is stronger than she is tonight. There is a reluctance to say goodbye, and the object of the singer's affection is described as prettier than anything she's ever seen in her life.
The chorus reveals the time frame of the song: late July, the middle of summer, a time that is usually associated with joy and warmth. The singer was so happy she could cry, but she can't remember why. This is followed by the devastating line, "In late July, you said goodbye." The singer then repeats that she was so happy she could cry, but this time, the happiness is tinged with sadness and a sense of loss. The repetition of this line emphasizes the contrast between the joy of the past and the pain of the present.

The suicide interpretation is a good one, and I never thought about that.
I always thought of this music as someone who got dumped, "you said goodbye, I was so happy I could cry, in late July"
I mean, the other person broke up with her/he in late July. She/he was so happy in this relationship that could cry.
IDK maybe is just me, someone actually dump me 😆😆😔
...but it was in the middle of April
