Gave You Everything
The Interrupters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left me and abandoned the lease
And I don't know why you're gone
I walk these floors like a country song
Oh, where you been? I called all your friends
They were hush hush on what's happening
And I called your momma too, she never could get through to you
I don't care if you love me, don't care if you don't
I gave you everything
I don't care if you come, don't care if you go
I don't really care anymore
I gave you everything
My bags are packed, now you want me back
Now you are the one with the panic attack
The pendulum has swung
Now I don't need you, don't need anyone
Oh, ring, ring, ring, it's a terrible thing
Suffering, you won't stop calling
You're beggin' and you plead
But it's too late for apologies
In the lyrics to the song "Gave You Everything," The Interrupters paint a picture of a relationship that has ended abruptly and left the singer feeling confused and hurt. The first verse describes the aftermath of the breakup, with the singer walking the floors and feeling like something out of a country song. She tries to call her ex's friends and mother to get some answers, but no one is willing or able to give her any information.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's apathy towards her ex's feelings. She gave them everything she had, but now that the relationship is over, she doesn't care if they come or go. She's done with the drama and ready to move on. The second verse takes a bit of a turn, with the ex suddenly wanting the singer back. However, the singer has already moved on and doesn't need anyone anymore.
Overall, "Gave You Everything" is a song that confronts the feelings of heartbreak and apathy that can come after a relationship ends. The Interrupters do a great job of capturing the emotional rollercoaster that many people experience after a breakup.

It's an emergency, call the police
The desperation is high, I need help and the only emergency service available to me is the police
You left me and abandoned the lease
You left me all alone and now I'm left with everything that we used to share
And I don't know why you're gone
I don't understand why you had to leave without any explanation
I walk these floors like a country song
I am stuck walking around aimlessly like a cliche country song
Oh, where you been? I called all your friends
I'm trying to locate you, I've tried to reach out to everyone you know
They were hush hush on what's happening
Everyone is keeping quiet about your whereabouts and what might have happened
And I called your momma too, she never could get through to you
Even your mother is unable to contact you, I'm really worried
I don't care if you love me, don't care if you don't
I don't need your love or affection anymore, I'm past caring
I don't really care anymore
I gave you everything
My emotions don't really matter and I don't have any interest in your feelings. I did everything I could for you but now I have nothing left to give
I don't care if you come, don't care if you go
You can come back to me or leave me without any explanation, it doesn't matter anymore
My bags are packed, now you want me back
I'm literally ready to leave and start afresh but now you're begging for me to stay
Now you are the one with the panic attack
You are the one who is panicking now that I'm about to leave
The pendulum has swung
The balance of power has shifted and I'm no longer under your control
Now I don't need you, don't need anyone
I don't need you or anyone else in my life
Oh, ring, ring, ring, it's a terrible thing
Suffering, you won't stop calling
Your constant phone calls are distressing and I'm suffering because of them
You're beggin' and you plead
You're begging me to come back to you
But it's too late for apologies
I won't accept your apologies, it's too late for that now

They deserve all the love and support of the punk rock community. Great songs, great live show, and great people who work their asses off and it shows.

@Mac Deus It's just entertainment. Skrewdriver had a message. Haymaker has a message. Bishop Green has a message. Take Back the Power has a message. I'm chill Love Aims and her 3 brothers.
