Sleeping with Sirens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I'm like,
Fuck you!
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like,
Ah fuck!
I'm sorry,
But I got something that’ll get you there
Say she’s an X box and I'm more Atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.
I pity the fool
That falls in love with you
Ah
She’s a gold digger
She’s a gold digger
Ooh
I've got some news for you.
Why don’t you go tell your fucking boyfriend.
I see you driving down town with the girl I love
And I'm like,
Fuck you!
Oh, oh, oh
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like,
Fuck you! And fuck her too.
I said,
If I was richer, I'd still be here with ya
Ain’t that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best
And
Fuck you!
Oh, oh, oh
Now I know,
I had to borrow,
Beg and steal and lie and cheat.
(Beg and steal and lie and cheat.)
Trying to keep ya,
Trying to please ya.
'Cause being with your ass ain't cheap.
I pity the fool
That falls in love with you
Ah
She’s a gold digger
She’s a motherfucking gold digger
Ooh
I've got some news for you.
Ooh,
I really hate your ass right now.
I see you driving down town with the girl I love
and I'm like,
Fuck you! (Fuck you!)
Oh, oh, oh
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like,
Fuck you! And fuck her too.
I said,
If I was richer, I'd still be here with ya
Ain’t that some shit? (shit)
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best
And
Fuck you!
Oh, oh, oh
Now baby, baby, baby, why you why you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my mamma but she told me
It’s one for your dad.
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
So I tell her like
Why?
Why?
Why oh baby?
I love you.
Still baby I love you.
Oh!
I see you driving down town with the girl I love
and I'm like,
Fuck you!
(Fuck you bitch!)
So fuck you!
I see you driving down town with the girl I love
and I'm like,
Fuck you!
Oh, oh, oh
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like,
Fuck you! And…
Come on, come on
One more time
I see you driving down town with the girl I love (girl I love)
and I'm like,
Fuck you! (Fuck you!)
Oh, oh, oh
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough (wasn’t enough)
I'm like,
Fuck you! (Fuck you)
“F” stands for “Forget You” in this song by Sleeping With Sirens. The lyricist is expressing his disappointment and anger towards his former lover for leaving him for someone wealthier. The singer accuses the girl of being a gold digger, pursuing only those who can afford to give her a lavish lifestyle. He asserts that he may not be able to give her expensive cars like his competition, but he has something else to offer. He compares their relationship to video game consoles, saying that she is an Xbox - modern and expensive - while he is more like an Atari - older but functional. He also adds that while he tried his best to keep her happy by borrowing, begging, stealing, and cheating, she was still not satisfied.
He then proceeds to call her out, while driving with her and his rival, for being a "gold digger." He repeats his belief that she's only in it for his money, calling out the high cost of being with her. However, he also acknowledges his own love for her, and seems to be struggling with the painful separation. The song is a classic protest against unrequited love, that is commonly heard in break-up songs.
