Tell You Twice
Whitmore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I see your face it makes me sick
And I can't decide what to do 'bout this shit
Should I love you, should I fuck you, should I what?
'Cause you're the same old girl at a different show

Every time I see your face it makes me ill
And I can't decide all the ways that I feel
I see you once, I see you twice and then I know

You're a fucked up girl, at a fucked up show

I'll tell you once I miss you
I'll tell you twice goodbye
You've got to realise that your getting sad
Every time I see your face it makes me ill

And I can't decide all the ways that I feel
Should I love you, should I fuck you, should I what?
'Cause you're the same old girl at a different show
Every time I see your face it makes me sick

And I can't decide what to do 'bout this shit
I see you once, I see you twice and then I know
You're a fucked up girl
I'll tell you once I miss you

I'll tell you twice goodbye
You've got to realize that your getting sad
I'll tell you once I love you
I'll tell you twice to fuck off

'You've got to realize that your getting sad

Overall Meaning

Whitmore's song "Tell You Twice" is a heart-wrenching tale about a person who cannot decide whether to love or hate someone who makes their life miserable. The singer seems to be in a state of turmoil as he sees the "same old girl" at "different shows." Every time he sees her face, he feels sick and cannot decide how to deal with her. He ponders whether he should love her or F*** her. The singer also expresses all of the ways he feels about her, and he's not sure how to deal with his emotions.

The chorus of the song takes on a more straightforward attitude as the singer confesses, "I'll tell you once I miss you, I'll tell you twice goodbye. You've got to realize that you're getting sad." The singer is trying to send a clear message that he cannot decide how to feel about this person any longer, and he is done with the relationship. The song's simplicity and honesty are part of its charm and make it relatable to anyone who has struggled with a difficult relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

Every time I see your face it makes me ill
The sight of you fills me with disgust

And I can't decide all the ways that I feel
My emotions towards you are complex and conflicting

I see you once, I see you twice and then I know
Your patterns and behavior are predictable

You're a fucked up girl, at a fucked up show
You're a messed up individual, involved with a messed up environment

I'll tell you once I miss you
There are moments I miss you

I'll tell you twice goodbye
I'm done with you, goodbye

You've got to realize that your getting sad
You need to acknowledge that you're becoming pathetic

I'll tell you once I love you
There were times I loved you

I'll tell you twice to fuck off
Now, leave me alone and don't come back
