Fuck You
Whiskey Shivers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not the way I wanted it to end
Got to hear the news from one of my best friends that you're gone
So thank you for all the heartache
And it could tax all the sleepless nights
Perhaps you thought I hated being treated right all along
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on
Fuck you for leading me on
Fuck you for the way you mistreated me
You always ask me for a song
Oh we go together like fire and ice
Like a spark to the gasoline
In a field full of dry sticks and leaves
And a bon
And I only exist when I feel far away
Then your fist broke and glass was a hammer
You turn and smile for the camera
Then you're gone
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on
Fuck you for leading me on
Fuck you for the way you mistreated me
You always ask me for a song
You always ask me for a song
And if it's really over
Bring me back my old guitar
That you never ever learned to play
Please tell your sister
I'm gonna miss her
(Woah-oh oh oh) (woah-oh oh oh)
Fuck you (woah-oh oh oh)
Fuck you (woah-oh oh oh)
Fuck you (woah-oh oh oh)
Fuck you (woah-oh oh oh)
You always asked me for a song
The lyrics above are from Whiskey Shivers's song "Fuck You." The song talks about the end of a relationship, and the singer expresses their anger and bitterness towards their partner for mistreating and leading them on. The singer acknowledges that this is not what they expected and wanted, and they have to deal with the heartache and sleepless nights that come with it. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Fuck you" to convey the singer's frustration and resentment towards their partner.
In the second verse of the song, the singer compares their relationship to "fire and ice" and "a spark to the gasoline" in a field full of dry sticks and leaves. The imagery is intense and violent, suggesting that their relationship was volatile and explosive. The verse ends with the line, "And I only exist when I feel far away," which perhaps suggests that the singer felt disconnected from their partner and only felt alive when they were apart.
The final verse of the song addresses the aftermath of the breakup. The singer asks for their old guitar back, which their partner never bothered to learn to play. They also send a message to their partner's sister, whom they will miss. The chorus is repeated three more times, emphasizing the singer's anger and frustration.
Overall, "Fuck You" is a powerfully emotive song that showcases Whiskey Shivers's ability to tell a story through their music. The raw emotion in the lyrics and the intense instrumentation make for a compelling and memorable song.

This was never what I expected
The situation with you is not what I had in mind
It's not the way I wanted it to end
I didn't want our relationship to end like this
Got to hear the news from one of my best friends that you're gone
I found out you left through a friend
So thank you for all the heartache
Thanks for all the pain you've caused
And it could tax all the sleepless nights
It caused me endless nights of sleeplessness
Perhaps you thought I hated being treated right all along
Maybe you thought I didn't appreciate the way you treated me
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on
I have no respect for you or anything associated with you
Fuck you for leading me on
You misled me and caused me pain
Fuck you for the way you mistreated me
You mistreated and hurt me
You always ask me for a song
You always wanted something from me, even if it wasn't a song
Oh we go together like fire and ice
Our relationship was extreme and volatile
Like a spark to the gasoline
Our relationship was explosive
In a field full of dry sticks and leaves
Our relationship was fragile and dangerous
And a bon
And ultimately destructive
And I only exist when I feel far away
I only feel alive when I'm not with you
Then your fist broke and glass was a hammer
You were violent and harmful
You turn and smile for the camera
You pretended everything was fine for others to see
Then you're gone
And just like that, you left
And if it's really over
If our relationship is truly done
Bring me back my old guitar
Return my property that you never cared to play
That you never ever learned to play
You had no interest in something that was important to me
Please tell your sister
Say farewell to your sister for me
I'm gonna miss her
I will genuinely miss her in my life
Fuck you (woah-oh oh oh)
Reiterating again how much I despise you
You always asked me for a song
You were always in need of something from me, but never gave anything back
