It's Over
The U.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't gunna lie
You were number one then
But I don't feel the same no more
I just want you as a friend
I'm done trying to pretend
They say good things don't last forever
Someday they gotta end
And a matter of fact
I'm doing you a favor
If done of fuckin' girls
And coming back to you later
And I'm sick of deleting everything in my pager,
Baby I'm not Britney
But I'm dropping of ya' radar
She wonders why I never pick up my phone,
Cos all I'm trying to do is keep it on the low.
I think I need to let her know before she finds out on her own,
Either way I'm going to break her heart when I tell her go.
All my ppl round the world if you like somebody else,
How do you find the words to say its over?
I been wanting to tell you,
But I dunno how to tell you.
How do you find the words to tell them its over?
Baby its killing me
This just isn't right for me,
I think I like somebody else.
I ain't gunna lie
But you were number one
But it just ain't the same anymore
Your out of my top ten
This ain't good for your health
And only if you knew
That every time I'm fuckin' you
I think of somebody else.
I knew one of us was gonna get hurt
From the get go I told you I told you I said so
I hate having to fake the feeling
Every time we get low,
I think its better for us both
If we let go
She wonders why I'm never round these days,
As soon as I touch base
She'll be all up in my face
Its the same old **** she never gives me any space,
How do I tell her someones taking her place?
All my people around the world if you like somebody else,
How do you find the words to say its over?
I been wanting to tell you,
But I dunno what to tell you.
How do you find the words to tell them its over?
Baby its killing me this just isn't right for me,
I think I like somebody else.
Why should I feel guilty?
Its plain to see I ain't being myself
Is it wrong if I want it from someone else?
Cos I've been holding on for so long now,
Why do I feel guilty?
Just plain to see I ain't being myself.
Is it wrong if I want it from somewhere else?
Ive been holding on for so long
Cant, take, no, more, I wont pretend another day,
I think its time for me to say exactly how I feel
Cant, take, no, more,
I just ain't happy anymore
Cant keep lying to myself
How do you find the words to say that its over?
I been wanting to tell you,
But I dunno what to tell you
How do you find them words to tell them its over?
Baby its killing me, this just isn't right for me
I think I like somebody else. Why should I feel guilty?
Its plain see I ain't being myself,
Is it wrong if I want it from somewhere else?
I've been holding on for so long now,
Why do I feel guilty? Its plain to see I ain't being myself,




Is it wrong if I want it from somewhere else?
I've been holding on for so long
