It's Over
TJ Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but i didn't want to
and now we are here at the end of something good
and i'm wondering where we missed
and wondering how it came to this
but we did and it did and it's hard to admit
that it's over
it's over
but where do we go from here
and how will we know what not to fear
everything's so unclear
now that we know it's over
cause the grass is always greener
ain't it funny how it goes
i suppose in the end
we'll be friends like you say we should
so i'm closing up this chapter
of this book inside my head
but i never forget cause my only regret is it's over
it's over
but where do we go from here
and how will we know what not to fear
everything's so unclear
now that we know
here i am and there you are
you stand so close but feel so far
away from me but now i see
there's no more room for you and me
it's taking time it's sinking in
i played the game
i didn't win
and so we go
it's over it's over
it's over it's over
it's over it's over it's over
it's done
The lyrics of TJ Moss’s song, "It’s Over" express feelings of regret, confusion, and acceptance after a relationship has ended. From the beginning, the author acknowledges that the end of the relationship was foreseeable but ignored the signs leading up to it. The author expresses sadness over the fact that something good has come to an end and reflects on where they went wrong. The questioning of what to do next or what not to fear, with everything being so unclear, shows the confusion that comes with the end of a long-lasting relationship. The author acknowledges that the end of the relationship does not mean the end of a friendship or a chapter in their life, but it takes time to move on from the relationship.
The lyrics also highlight the saying that "the grass is always greener on the other side." The author recognizes that the grass may not be greener on the other side and the idea of the end of the relationship leading to newfound freedom may not be the case.

it's over it's over
It's done it's done, there's no going back.
it's over it's over it's over
It's finished, there's no reversing it, and we need to accept it.
