Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was the day that you let me go
(It was a blessing in disguise)
Now I see that I'm beautiful
Cause all we ever did was fight
We were so dysfunctional
Now I forgotten all the times
And all the days that I was loving you.
Just like a ghost from my past (he's come back to haunt me)
Saying that you want me back (but that's impossible so)
[Chorus]
If you love me, leave me
Love me, leave me
'cause I've already closed that door
Don't want to be
In the pain I felt before
If I only could be myself
Without your approval anymore
(if you love me leave me)
If you love me leave me alone
Now there used to be a time
(I would've taken you back again)
(Now I got you out of my mind)
Now I'm totally independent
So you can save your little lies
'cause I know what's happenin'
You're missin' me but say goodbye now
To all the days I was lovin' you
Just like a ghost from my past (he's come back to haunt me)
Saying that you want me back (but that's impossible so)
[Chorus]
If you really wanna help
Than you should go
'cause I promised myself
I'd make it alone
At the back of the shelf
'cause where I put what we had
I'll never going back, no
[Chorus: x2]

The very first day of my life
The day you left me was the beginning of a new life for me
Was the day that you let me go
That's the day you ended our relationship
(It was a blessing in disguise)
Though it hurt initially, it turned out to be a good thing
Now I see that I'm beautiful
I've learned to appreciate myself for who I am
Cause all we ever did was fight
Our relationship was plagued by constant fighting
We were so dysfunctional
Our relationship was unhealthy
Now I forgotten all the times
I've moved on and let go of the past
And all the days that I was loving you.
I no longer have any attachment to you
Just like a ghost from my past (he's come back to haunt me)
You keep reminding me of the past which I'm trying to move on from
Saying that you want me back (but that's impossible so)
You want to reignite the relationship but it's not possible

If you truly loved me, you wouldn't force yourself back into my life. I've already moved on and don't want to feel the pain of our past anymore
Now there used to be a time
There was a time when I would have taken you back
(I would've taken you back again)
I was willing to give you another chance
(Now I got you out of my mind)
But I've moved on and no longer have thoughts of you
Now I'm totally independent
I'm strong and self-sufficient now
So you can save your little lies
I see through your lies and manipulation
'cause I know what's happenin'
I'm aware of your intentions
You're missin' me but say goodbye now
You're regretting the breakup but it's too late
[Chorus]
Repeated chorus
If you really wanna help
If you truly care about me
Than you should go
You should walk away and let me move on
'cause I promised myself
I'm determined to make it on my own
I'd make it alone
I don't need someone else to validate me
At the back of the shelf
I've stored away the memories of our past
'cause where I put what we had
I don't want to revisit or remember our past relationship
I'll never going back, no
I'm moving on and won't be returning to our past relationship
[Chorus: x2]
Repeated chorus twice

The very first day of my life
Was the day that you let me go
And it was a blessing in disguise
Now I see that I'm beautiful
'Cause all we ever did was fight
We were so dysfunctional
Now I forgotten all the times
And all the days that I was lovin' you
Just like a ghost from my past (He's come back to haunt me)
Saying that you want me back (Look at it's impossible so...)
Love me, leave me
'Cause I've already closed that door
Don't want to be
In the pain I felt before
If I only could be myself
Without your approval anymore
(If you love me leave me)
If you love me leave me alone
Now there used to be a time
I would've taken you back again
But now that I have you out my mind
And I'm totally independent
So you can save your little lies
'Cause I know what's happenin'
You're missin' me but say goodbye now
To all the days I was lovin' you
Just like a ghost from my past (He's come back to haunt me)
