If You're Over Me
Years & Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hurt me without trying
A tempest, you was rising
And no I don't like to be this way
And you're Jekyll and Hyde-ing
Are you real or are you lying?
So stop with your crying
I can't handle it now
You tell everyone our love went cold
Going 'round, spreading the word, it's over
If that's how you feel then you should go
Don't come around saying, "I still want you"
One minute you say we're a team
Then you're telling me you can't breathe
Well you should set me free
Baby, if you're over me
Yesterday you said I'm the one
But now you say you're done
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you're over me
There you go, there, I said it
Don't look at me all offended
You played games and it ended
I've got to look out for me
I won't say that it's easy
Oh, I know I hate leaving
But you can't keep deceiving
Does it make you feel good?
You tell everyone our love went cold
Going around, spreading the word, it's over
If that's how you feel then you should go
Don't come around saying, "I still want you"
One minute you say we're a team
Then you're telling me you can't breathe
Well you should set me free
Baby, if you're over me
Yesterday you said I'm the one
But now you say you're done
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you're over me
If you're over me
If you're over me
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you're over me
How long can a love remain?
Time never could heal this pain
I thought I believed in fate
Oh, it's so cruel
No, nothing for us would change
Same story, the same mistake
This heart just wants to break
Oh, one minute you say we're a team
Then you're telling me you can't breathe (can't breathe)
Well you should set me free
Baby, if you're over me
Yesterday you said I'm the one
But now you say you're done
Stop telling me what I need (telling me what I need)
Baby, if you're over me
Just go if it's over (just go)
Just go if it's over (just go if it's over)
Just go if it's over
Baby, if you're over me
Just go if it's over (just go)
Just go if it's over (just go if it's over)
Just go if it's over
Baby, if you're over me

Line by Line Meaning
It's like thunder and lightning
The relationship is unpredictable and volatile
You hurt me without trying
Your actions and words unintentionally cause me pain
A tempest, you was rising
An emotional storm is brewing within you
And no I don't like to be this way
I don't enjoy being hurt by you
And you're Jekyll and Hyde-ing
Your behavior is inconsistent and confusing
Are you real or are you lying?
I can't tell if you're being genuine or not
So stop with your crying
I can't handle your emotional outbursts
I can't handle it now
I am at my breaking point
You tell everyone our love went cold
You're spreading rumors about our relationship ending
Going 'round, spreading the word, it's over
You're actively trying to convince others that we're through
If that's how you feel then you should go
If you've truly moved on, then you should leave me alone
Don't come around saying, "I still want you"
Don't give me mixed signals and false hope
One minute you say we're a team
You've claimed that we're on the same side
Then you're telling me you can't breathe
Suddenly, you're feeling suffocated by our relationship
Well you should set me free
If you don't want to be with me, then you should let me go
Baby, if you're over me
If you're truly done with me, then stop leading me on
Yesterday you said I'm the one
You were declaring your love for me not too long ago
But now you say you're done
Now you're claiming that you're finished with our relationship
Stop telling me what I need
Don't presume to know what's best for me
There you go, there, I said it
I've finally voiced my frustration and anger
Don't look at me all offended
You can't act surprised when I confront you about your behavior
You played games and it ended
Your mind games and manipulation have led to the downfall of our relationship
I've got to look out for me
I need to prioritize my own well-being and happiness
I won't say that it's easy
Breaking up and moving on is never a simple process
Oh, I know I hate leaving
Even though it's necessary, parting ways with someone you care about is painful
But you can't keep deceiving
I won't allow myself to be manipulated any longer
Does it make you feel good?
Are you gaining some kind of satisfaction from playing with my emotions?
How long can a love remain?
I'm questioning whether true love can withstand the tests of time and trials
Time never could heal this pain
Even with the passage of time, the heartache lingers
I thought I believed in fate
I used to trust that destiny would bring us together
Oh, it's so cruel
Now I see the harsh reality of our situation
No, nothing for us would change
Despite our efforts, our circumstances would remain the same
Same story, the same mistake
We keep repeating the same patterns and errors in our relationship
This heart just wants to break
My heart can't handle the emotional turmoil any longer
Just go if it's over
If you're really done with me, then just leave me alone
Baby, if you're over me
If you truly don't want to be with me anymore, then stop playing games and move on

@@rabbitlover8813 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
Analyse them, you`ll get same results.
And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines, album covers…..
(As if judging is often unjust by many, so is free speech willed with nonsense , because of the lack of knowledge. 1st go and gain KNOWLEDGE, which you missing and then worry about you being allowed to judge and speak free or not. Take a listen around the world, many are just noise makers, having no knowledge about that they talk about, nobody truly listens them. These 2 verses describe perfectly many human souls situation:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

I’m here after Ollie’s absolutely brilliant performance in ‘It’s A Sin’, man had me wheezing then sobbing a second later. Robbie was my favourite character 😭. La!!
@deadpaul6415
Olly was unbelievable 👏🏼 “La”
@enricobertelli2691
me too after all my tears onto Its a sin. My eyes are dry like a desert.
@17portland
Ollie Alexander was amazing in a drama that totally reflected society attitudes accurately. He reminded me of my brother, who died in 1996 because of AIDS. Although the hospital scenes were heartbreaking, it did not reveal the full extent of how society treated those with the 'Gay Plague' - locked wards, full barrier nursing, sealed coffins.
I volunteered with an HIV support group in the early 90's and every meeting, the full cast of 'Its a Sin' was reflected along with the fear of knowing that everyone in that room was destined to die very young because the governments of Thatcher and Reegan refused to help and the only option was to hide your sexuality and pray you didn't become the next victim.
@deadpaul6415
@17portland Sorry for your loss 💙 your brother was unlucky cos I think the cure for aids was coming out around that time. (I’m not 100% on that so correct me if I’m wrong) 💙
@17portland
@Pauly B AZT was just kicking in around then, but lots of boys were too far down the line by that point. There was a combination of drugs but they only slowed the infection if caught early.
I remember my brother talk about the cure and oner of his friends said 'not for us'.
It was a sad time because just as many infected people died of suicide as from the virus because they couldn't face their families or communities or they couldn't bear the thought of the widespread affects of the virus - the biggest fear was 'AIDS dementia'.

Does anyone love the transition from the concert noise to the professional music
