Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You had me sneaking out the back door running
Open my mouth I know I had it coming
Sneaking around would be some bad news and I'm glad I'm leaving glad I'm leaving
You and I never really got to seeing eye to eye
The selfishness inside of you has made you blind
Time is running out and I'm asking myself why

You, oh you you're always gone I'm always
Calling
I think you shouldn't wear that mask cause your mama wouldn't like it!

I wanna know , do you still love me
My heart is broke in two now there's nothing left to feel.
I wanna know , do you still love me
My heart is broke in two now there's nothing left to feel.

I think I need you more than you want me too
Cause my oh my I always played your fool
I think I loved you more than you ever knew
I never felt so goddamn used

So won't you leave me alone
Or you'll never know , never know
I want you to go, just leave me on my own
You got me spinning up and down and turn around
Can you, can you just let me be who I am and
Leave me alone , alone, alone

Yaaaa, I want you to know yeah!

My oh my , you can't get it, I'll take my time, don't wanna hear it, now You know where I wanna be but




Your love in me I'll never see it,
Oh my my my my my

Overall Meaning

The song "My Oh My" by Paloma is a breakup song that portrays the pain and frustration of ending a relationship that has left the singer feeling used and unloved. The first verse highlights the deception of the partner who had the singer sneaking out of the back door and the realization that the relationship was not working. The lines "You and I never really got to seeing eye to eye, The selfishness inside of you has made you blind, Time is running out and I'm asking myself why" suggests that the singer has been unhappy for a while and is just now seeing their partner's selfishness and blindness to their feelings.


In the chorus, the singer expresses how heartbroken they are and their desire to know if their partner still loves them. The lines "My heart is broke in two, now there's nothing left to feel" suggest that the singer has been hurt so much that they are numb to the pain. The second verse reveals the singer's fear of being alone and how they had been played for a fool. They had loved their partner more than their partner had loved them and had always felt used as a result. The lines "I think I need you more than you want me to, Cause my oh my I always played your fool, I think I loved you more than you ever knew, I never felt so goddamn used" show how the singer had been taken for granted in the relationship.


The bridge of the song is a plea for the partner to leave the singer alone and let them be themselves. The lines "Can you, can you just let me be who I am and, Leave me alone, alone, alone" show how the singer needs time to heal and find themselves without the partner's influence.
