So What
k.flay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I snuck out your bed, so what
I'm a cold hearted kid, no love
I'll take you home but I won't take your calls
And I'm not sorry at all, I'm not sorry at all

I've got a problem with commitment
But hate to sleep alone so highly prone to bad decisions
Should've stopped it as you bit my bottom lip
It's just I really think you thought this was something that it isn't
See my parents split so I'm a total cynic, don't believe in love
I believe in something slightly different
And it was sweet of you to take me out to brunch
But now my jeans are on your ottoman and I'm about to run
Got a show in Atlanta, all alone getting hammered, might've accidentally called you
On the road like forever, and it's cold in December, and I know it's really no excuse
I'm usually a nice girl, didn't mean for you to be hurt
But I'll break your heart and steal your fucking T-shirt
You should know in love and war all is fair
Got your fingers running through my hair

Yeah I snuck out your bed, so what
I'm a cold hearted kid, no love
I'll take you home but I won't take your calls
And I'm not sorry at all, I'm not sorry at all

Yeah, said it was cute the way I'm
So I deleted every message that you sent me
Think it's probably best to just forget we ever met
I'm a fucking wreck, barely holding steady
Anyway you shake it, you should've taken it as a warning
When I told you I was cold, that I'd be gone by the morning
Got a little faded, told a couple secrets
Like how I only like you on the weekends
Flying straight to Chicago, everyday feeling hollow
, I don't wanna get close nah
Surprise me with the presents, so like right away I'm trying to get the fuck up out of your zip code ah
You got a real job, and a nice apartment, you're perfect
I got a dozen numbers stuffed inside my purse yeah
You should know in love and war all is fair
Watch your fingers running through my hair

Yeah I snuck out your bed, so what
I'm a cold hearted kid, no love
I'll take you home but I won't take your calls
And I'm not sorry at all, I'm not sorry at all

Ducking under door frames, order even more drinks
Wonder if I'll ever know the pleasure of a sure thing
Lately I feel sick, reeling from real shit
Got a bunch of problems that i just don't want to deal with
So I'm wallowing all alone following monotone
Voices that keep hollering inside my fucking collar bone
Nobody catching me, living like I'm seventeen
Pay no mind I'll just be masterminding my own tragedies
I learned to never trust a man
Heartbreaks had enough of them
So I'm creeping down the stairs, didn't say goodbye
Could be better but I just don't want to try

Yeah I snuck out your bed, so what
I'm a cold hearted kid, no love




I'll take you home but I won't take your calls
And I'm not sorry at all, I'm not sorry at all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of K.Flay's song So What tell the story of a person who is not interested in commitment, but still seeks out physical relationships. The singer of the song admits to not believing in love, due to their parents' divorce, but instead, they "believe in something slightly different." They are a "cold hearted kid" with "no love," who enjoys the company of others, but doesn't want to take it any further than that. They often make bad decisions and are highly prone to doing so. They don't want anyone to get too attached to them, and are not interested in any emotional attachments.


However, despite their best efforts, the singer does hurt people along the way. They may be a "nice girl," but ultimately, they "break your heart and steal your fucking T-shirt." They may not mean to hurt others, but they do it anyway. The song is about the internal struggle of the singer between wanting companionship and not wanting to get too close to anyone emotionally.


Overall, the lyrics of K.Flay's So What are complex and introspective. They explore the singer's fear of commitment and their desire for physical connections. The song ends on a note of ambiguity, with the singer deciding to "just be masterminding [their] own tragedies."

You have feelings for me, but I don't feel the same way


See my parents split so I'm a total cynic, don't believe in love
My parents' divorce has made me skeptical about love


I believe in something slightly different

But now my jeans are on your ottoman and I'm about to run
I left my clothes at your place and am about to leave


Got a show in Atlanta, all alone getting hammered, might've accidentally called you
I have a performance in Atlanta and might drunkenly call you by accident

I'm traveling for a long time and it's cold outside, but it's not an excuse for my behavior


I'm usually a nice girl, didn't mean for you to be hurt

Yeah, said it was cute the way I'm

So I deleted every message that you sent me
I deleted all of your messages from my phone


Think it's probably best to just forget we ever met
It's probably best for us to forget about our encounter


I'm a fucking wreck, barely holding steady
I'm emotionally unstable and struggling to cope


Anyway you shake it, you should've taken it as a warning
You should have realized that I wasn't ready for a serious relationship


When I told you I was cold, that I'd be gone by the morning
When I said I wasn't looking for commitment and would leave soon, I meant it


Got a little faded, told a couple secrets

Surprise me with the presents, so like right away I'm trying to get the fuck up out of your zip code ah
You bought me gifts, but I'm already trying to leave your area


You got a real job, and a nice apartment, you're perfect
You have a good job and nice place to live, making you seem perfect on paper


I got a dozen numbers stuffed inside my purse yeah
I have many phone numbers from other people in my purse


Watch your fingers running through my hair
You're touching my hair


Ducking under door frames, order even more drinks
I'm drinking more and walking through doorways without fully standing up


Wonder if I'll ever know the pleasure of a sure thing
I'm wondering if I'll ever experience a guaranteed positive outcome


Lately I feel sick, reeling from real shit
I've been feeling unwell and overwhelmed by life


Got a bunch of problems that i just don't want to deal with
I have many issues that I'm avoiding


So I'm wallowing all alone following monotone
I'm sulking by myself and feeling uninspired


Voices that keep hollering inside my fucking collar bone
I hear voices in my head that won't stop shouting


Nobody catching me, living like I'm seventeen
I feel like no one is looking out for me and am living recklessly


Pay no mind I'll just be masterminding my own tragedies
I'm ignoring my problems and making them worse


I learned to never trust a man
I've learned not to trust men


Heartbreaks had enough of them
I've experienced enough heartbreaks to know better


So I'm creeping down the stairs, didn't say goodbye
I left without saying goodbye


Could be better but I just don't want to try
Things could improve, but I don't want to put in the effort
