Amazing
Veronica Ballestrini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you'd call me at five,
But you lied so obviously.
I'm not the one on your mind,
But I won't cry.
You have me so hypnotized,
And it's crazy but every word you say I believe.
But your acting different,
I know if I stay, it'll just cause more pain.
But I can't let you go.
CHORUS:
And Baby, why do you have to be so amazing to me, and I try just to walk away but your blue eyes make me stay.
And baby you make this confusing even when I'm loosing.
And baby why do you have to be so amazing to me.
Verse Two:
You said you hate to talk on the phone, so baby when I got home and we were finally alone. All wrapped up in your arms in bed. You swore you'd be here till the end. But it's different now and I don't know how things got this way. You seem so far away and I know if I stay, it'll just cause more pain. But I can't let you go.
CHORUS:
And baby, why do you have to be so amazing to me, and I try just to walk away but your blue eyes make me stay.
And baby you make this confusing even when I'm loosing.
And baby why do you have to be so amazing to me.
Verse Three:
It's like I'm holding on to someone I don't even know anymore. Everything's changed and you're not the same. Please come back through that door.
CHORUS:
And Baby, why do you have to be so amazing to me, and I try just to walk away but your blue eyes make me stay. And baby why can't you love me now and leave me left out. And baby why do you have to be so amazing?...
The song "Amazing" by Veronica Ballestrini is a ballad about a woman in a tumultuous relationship with a man who keeps pulling her back in despite the pain he causes her. The song begins with the woman waiting for a call from her partner, but he never calls, and she suspects he is thinking about someone else. Though she knows it's unhealthy to stay in the relationship, she is mesmerized by his words and her feelings for him. In the chorus, she questions why he has to be so amazing to her, making it difficult for her to let go.
The second verse shows a shift in their relationship, where the man used to be loving and comforting, but now he is distant and unattached. The woman knows that if she stays, she will only suffer more, but she can't bring herself to leave him. In the third verse, she pleads for her partner to come back, suggesting that he has changed and is no longer the man she fell in love with. The song ends with the lament that the man is still amazing to her, even though he can't love her back.
Overall, "Amazing" is a poignant reflection on the complexity of relationships and the difficulty of walking away from someone we care for, even when they cause us pain. The lyrics of the song capture the confusion, hurt, and longing that often accompany a breakup, and the melody conveys the emotional intensity of the experience.

I won't shed a tear over your disinterest.
You have me so hypnotized,
You have a mesmerizing effect on me.
And it's crazy but every word you say I believe.
Even though it sounds insane, I believe everything you say.
But your acting different,
You're behaving differently from before.
So distant and quick to me.
You're keeping your distance and being curt with me.
I know if I stay, it'll just cause more pain.
If I continue to stay with you, it will only hurt me more.

You become more perplexing even when things are falling apart.
You said you hate to talk on the phone, so baby when I got home and we were finally alone.
You mentioned disliking talking on the phone, so when I came home and we were together, I thought it would be different.
All wrapped up in your arms in bed. You swore you'd be here till the end.
In bed, feeling secure in your embrace, you promised your unwavering presence until the end.
But it's different now and I don't know how things got this way.
Now, things are dissimilar, and I'm unsure of how it came to be like this.
It's like I'm holding on to someone I don't even know anymore. Everything's changed and you're not the same. Please come back through that door.
I'm clutching onto someone I don't recognize anymore. Everything is altered, and you're not the person you used to be. Kindly return to how you were.
And baby why can't you love me now and leave me left out.
Why can't you love me at this moment and exclude me from this agony?
And baby why do you have to be so amazing?...
Why must you be so extraordinary to me, despite the heartbreak you cause?

Amazing :) I saw her at the Durham Fair one year, since she's from my town and performed at the fair. So much talent, I have no clue why she hasn't made it big yet.
