through with you.
maroon five. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating above your head
As you lay in bed
Thinking about everything
That you did not do
Cause saying I love you
Has nothing to do with meaning it
Cause every time you're here
Your intentions are unclear
I spend every hour waiting for a phone call
That I know will never come
I used to think you were the one
Now I'm sick of thinking anything at all
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how things were supposed to be
You take my hand just to give it back
No other lover has ever done that
Do you remember
The way we used to melt
Do you remember how it felt
When I touched you
Cause I remember very well
And how long has it been
Since someone you let in
Has given when I gave to you
And at night when you sleep
Do you dream I would be there
Just for a minute or two
Do you
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how things were supposed to be
You take my hand just to give it back
No other lover has ever done that
Heartache, heartache I just have so much
A simple love with a complex touch
There is nothing you can say or do
I called to let you know I'm through with you
The lyrics of "Through with You" by Maroon 5 speak about a relationship that has ended badly. The singer of the song is expressing his frustration and pain to someone he was once very close to. The lyrics that read, "Can you see me, Floating above your head, As you lay in bed, Thinking about everything, That you did not do, Cause saying I love you, Has nothing to do with meaning it," depict the feeling of detachment and strain in the relationship. The singer thinks that his partner does not appreciate him and that their words about love are hollow, without any true meaning.
Furthermore, the chorus of the song, "You ain't ever coming back to me, That's not how things were supposed to be, You take my hand just to give it back, No other lover has ever done that," describes the frustration and the loss experienced by the singer after the break-up. He is devastated that the relationship has ended, and it is not the way things were supposed to be. In the end, he expresses that he is done with the relationship and calls to let his partner know that he is "through with you."
Line by Line Meaning
Can you see me
Are you aware of my existence and my presence in your life?
Floating above your head
I am around you, but not necessarily within your proximity
As you lay in bed
While you are vulnerable and unguarded, contemplating your thoughts
Thinking about everything
Reflecting on every decision and choice you have made
That you did not do
Regretting missed opportunities and chances that weren't taken
Cause saying I love you
Merely uttering the words 'I love you'
Has nothing to do with meaning it
Does not necessarily mean that the feelings behind it are genuine
And I don't trust you
I have lost complete and utter faith in you
Cause every time you're here
Whenever you are around
Your intentions are unclear
I cannot discern your true motives or intentions
I spend every hour waiting for a phone call
I waste countless hours anticipating a call from you
That I know will never come
But deep down, I know it will never happen
I used to think you were the one
I once held a strong belief that you were my soulmate
Now I'm sick of thinking anything at all
But now, I am frustrated and incapable of holding onto any hope or faith
You ain't ever coming back to me
I have come to terms with the fact that you will never return to my life
That's not how things were supposed to be
I had envisioned a different future for us
You take my hand just to give it back
Your love and affection is half-hearted and temporary
No other lover has ever done that
I have never experienced such an insincere love from anyone else
Do you remember
Do you ever reminisce on the past?
The way we used to melt
The way our love and passion was once intense and all-consuming
Do you remember how it felt
Do you remember the overwhelming sensations and emotions we once shared?
When I touched you
When I physically connected with you
Cause I remember very well
Because those memories are still vivid and clear in my mind
And how long has it been
It has been a considerable amount of time since we last interacted on an intimate level
Since someone you let in
Since you have truly opened up to someone and let them in your life
Has given when I gave to you
Has reciprocated the same love and care that I provided to you
And at night when you sleep
During your most vulnerable and intimate moments
Do you dream I would be there
Do you long for me to be present and close to you?
Just for a minute or two
Even if it is just for a short while
Heartache, heartache I just have so much
I am pained and heartbroken to a great extent
A simple love with a complex touch
Our love was simple, but there were deeper layers and complexities beneath the surface
There is nothing you can say or do
No matter what you say or do, you cannot change the way I feel
I called to let you know I'm through with you
I am reaching out to formally end our relationship and move on from you
