Charlotte
Sody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said you didn't wanna know me
But you hide behind the lies
You're in disguise, I can't describe
The feeling when I said to you
Do you remember what I said to you?
You said you wanted to hang out for coffee
But you didn't even reply
Deep down when no one's around
You've got a heart of gold
Where is it now?
I don't have another way to get to you
Charlotte, I see a piece of you in all of my friends
It's over now so why am I still thinking back
To all the times when all we did was laugh and cry for hours
You let me down
So Charlotte, would you still care
If you knew I was hurting?
I miss my friend, it's like I'm missing
Parts of me I didn't know
And now I've got to let them go
But I, I just wanna know if you're still fine
I kinda miss your family
Your dad was always there for me
He drove us anywhere we wanna
Singing songs like karaoke
But that was six years ago
Where did all the time go?
I wonder if you've changed your hair
Do you still live a stop from mine
Maybe it's a matter of time
'Cause deep down when no one's around
You've got a heart of gold
Where is it now?
I don't have another way to get to you
Charlotte, I see a piece of you in all of my friends
It's over now so why am I still thinking back
To all the times when all we did was laugh and cry for hours
You let me down
So Charlotte, would you still care
If you knew I was hurting?
I miss my friend, it's like I'm missing
Parts of me I didn't know
And now I've got to let them go
But I, I just wanna know if you're still fine
I just wanna know if you're still fine
I just wanna know if you're still fine
'Cause if not, I'm there in a hurry
You moved on but you're part of my story
Everything is coming back to me now
Thought I'd be there when you marry
Does your therapist know about me?
'Cause mine does, mine does
Charlotte, would you still care
If you knew I was hurting?
I miss my friend, it's like I'm missing
Parts of me I didn't know
And now I've got to let them go
But I, I just wanna know if you're still fine
The lyrics of Sody's song "Charlotte" tell a story of a friendship that experienced a sudden and unexplained end. The singer reminisces about the good times they shared with Charlotte and how she once felt a connection that was evidently not reciprocated. The lyrics are hauntingly vulnerable and reveal emotions of hurt, a tinge of jealousy, and a longing for answers. The chorus line "Charlotte, I see a piece of you in all of my friends" emphasizes the struggle of moving on and letting go. The writer admits to missing Charlotte and wanting to know if she is fine, suggesting a forgiving nature, and the possibility of reunion if Charlotte were to respond.
The song conveys the pain that comes with lost friendships, but it highlights the humanity in such trials. The lines "I miss my friend, it's like I'm missing parts of me I didn't know" deliver a powerful message about friendships that go beyond the surface level. Sody's intent to portray how necessary friendships are to one's identity and how difficult it is to reconcile such a loss is poignant. The bridge of the song then gives us closure that the singer is happy to be part of Charlotte's life story, but it still leaves an emotional impact on the listener, uncertain whether they will ever reconnect.

I still care about your well-being, despite everything
I kinda miss your family

Singing songs like karaoke
We would sing songs together like we were at a karaoke bar
But that was six years ago
Those happy times were a long time ago
Where did all the time go?
Wondering how time seems to have flown by so quickly
I wonder if you've changed your hair
Curious if you've made any physical alterations to your appearance
Do you still live a stop from mine
Do you still live close to where I reside?
Maybe it's a matter of time
Perhaps we'll reconnect again eventually

When you're all alone
You've got a heart of gold
You're a naturally kind and caring person

Thinking about the happy and sad moments shared together

You disappointed me in some way
So Charlotte, would you still care
Do you still hold any concern for me?
If you knew I was hurting?
Would you feel any empathy for me if you knew I was struggling?
I miss my friend, it's like I'm missing
I feel like I'm missing a vital part of myself
Parts of me I didn't know
Activities or behaviors I engaged in solely with you that I didn't realize were a significant part of me
And now I've got to let them go
I have to come to terms with the fact that I can't continue living in the past
But I, I just wanna know if you're still fine
Despite everything, I still care about you and hope you're doing well
I just wanna know if you're still fine
I'm genuinely interested in how you're doing
'Cause if not, I'm there in a hurry
If you're not okay, I'm ready to help as soon as possible
You moved on but you're part of my story
You've moved on, but you'll always have played a significant part in my life
Everything is coming back to me now
Memories of our friendship are resurfacing
Thought I'd be there when you marry
I had hoped we would continue to be friends for life
Does your therapist know about me?
I'm wondering if you ever discuss our past relationship in your therapy sessions
'Cause mine does, mine does
I have talked to my therapist about my feelings for you

You didn't wanna know me
Said you didn't wanna know me
But you hind behind the lies

But you didn't even reply
I'm not even worth it am I?

“Would you still care if you knew i was hurting?”
"why am I still thinking back
To all the times when all we did was laugh and cry for hours"
"I miss my friend, it's like I'm missing
Parts of me"
"I just wanna know if you're still fine
'Cause if not, I'm there in a hurry"
"You moved on but you're part of my story
Everything is coming back to me now
Thought I'd be there when you married"
Those lines hits me
I miss my Best Friend :(

Lost my Childhood Bestfriend who I thought would be in my life forever over a month ago. I just don’t understand why people just decide to walk out of your life like it’s nothing, like you meant nothing. She made her decision though, but this song hits deep. Beautiful 💗
Eline Dolmans
I experienced just the same 3 weeks ago, we were friends for years.... but suddenly she decided to end our friendship like it meant nothing to her. It broke my heart, I could cry for hours...💔 I still can't understand it, I thought this was forever...
grey
‘I just don’t understand why people just decide to walk out of your life like it’s nothing’ that was pretty much my exact thought when my bestfriend left.

@grey Honestly I have been on both ends. I have been the friend who people walked away from but I also have been the one who walked away. I know it hurts so much but I believe some people or just not meant to be in our lives so that's why they remove themselfs. Sometimes you just grow apart. I walked away because she was holding me back of being positive. She was putting such a negative world view in my head. She let me hate the world and all the people in it. I am not someone who hates the world. I am someone who loves others easily. She is the one who holds grudges at everyone like literally people who didn't do anything to her. I mean I can't live with someone like that. She made me cry more than once because she was just not empathic at all. She left me alone in a strange country with a guy that could have been a total creep because she wanted to have sex with his friend. She left me alone while I was crying in our hotel. She asked for money which she never gave back. I trusted her to give it back and she didn't. She would put me down constantly. I know I hurt her but I hope she is still okay. That doesn't mean I want her back into my life tho. I took way too much BS of her for YEARS. Years that I could have spent on people who respect me.

I know, it hurts and it will need time to heal. But believe me, life goes on. Some people are not meant to be forever in our lives. They come, walk alongside for a little while and then they will go ... I believe that everyone I meet in my life has an occasion to be with me. Maybe sometimes for teaching me, sometimes for another reason and I'm totally fine with that. The time I have these people in my life are so much more memorable than the end.
grey
Marlies Thierens i 100% get that, but what happened with me was a different story. We were best friends and could do anything for eachother. She left me so suddenly, started talking about me behind my back, got with my ex who said it would be funny if I was dead and now she thinks it’s okay to presume that we are on good terms.

I relate to the lyrics so hard. This is what I love most about Sody's songs. They always tell a clear and complete story

I've tried to write something and deleted it at least ten times. This is just so different and stunning that it's hard to describe. She is an amazing storyteller in terms of lyrics and then she paints the pictures with music so unique that you cannot find any comparison.
Dory Explory
Benjamin Alec and Ren do Story telling with their songs too!

someone should make a cover of this song from charlotte's perspective
