You've Made Your Bed
You Me at Six Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no wait you will call it off and space is on the cards, who'd drink to that, I wont drink to that.
Oh Overhill will you teach me the games that you play so well and I'll drink to that, who'll drink to that?
You've made your bed, so sleep in it, but never call me again.
You've made your bed, so sleep with him, but know I'm the best you'll get.
I wrote this song so you would know
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Here's a list of the things you said and I wont get over it, you want to know, you, want to know and.
The games that girls will play, makes me move away so I can train, train myself to trust again.
Oh Overhill will you teach me the games you play so well and, I'll drink to that, who'll drink to that?
You've made your bed, so sleep in it, but never call me again.
You've made your bed, so sleep with him, but know I'm the best you'll get.
I wrote this song so you would know
Why I look up to everyone.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Are you on or off?
Are you on?
Are you on or off?
Are you on
Or
I wrote this song so you would know
Why I look up to everyone.
These words will convince you to never love again, you want to be friends, I wont do it.
These words will convince you to never sleep with me again, you want to be friends, I can't do it.
The lyrics of You Me at Six's song "You've Made Your Bed" depict a story of a failed romantic relationship. The singer is frustrated with their partner and accuses them of leading them on and cheating. The opening lines suggest that the partner has been unfaithful, as evidenced by the lipstick on the back seat of their best friend's car. The partner then decides to call off the relationship and "space is on the cards." The singer refuses to drink to the end of their relationship and asks Overhill to teach them the games that girls play to avoid being played again.
The chorus of the song is a statement of finality: "You've made your bed, so sleep in it, but never call me again. You've made your bed, so sleep with him, but know I'm the best you'll get." The singer is telling their partner to live with the consequences of their actions but knows they will regret it because they were the best thing that ever happened to them.
In the bridge, the singer sings, "I wrote this song so you would know why I look up to everyone," implying that the partner doesn't see the impact their actions had on the singer.
Overall, "You've Made Your Bed" is a song that deals with themes of rejection, betrayal, and learning to move on from a failed relationship.
