Just Because
sadie jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of what we meant
And if you could see me like this
I'd want you to know that
Just because I miss you, doesn't mean I want you back
And just because I almost called, don't mean I wish I had
And just because I felt like dying when you left out of the blue
I'm sure fate simply played its course
I couldn't have stayed yours, I deserve much more
But I can't help from hurting, I guess I'm still learning
Just because I miss you, doesn't mean I want you back
And just because I almost called, don't mean I wish I had
And just because I felt like dying when you left out of the blue
It doesn't mean I wanna be with anyone like you
Just because you said it doesn't mean that it was real
And just because you're sorry now it doesn't mean I've healed
From letting you take almost all of me until you had enough
Looking back, it only means you hurt me, you hurt me just because
Hurt me just because (should've never let, should've never let)
Hurt me just for fun (are you happy yet? Are you happy yet?)
Hurt for what? 'Cause (and I won't forget)
Looking back, it only means you hurt me, you hurt me just because
The lyrics of "Just Because" by Sadie Jean explore the mixed emotions and conflicting feelings that arise after a breakup. The song captures the singer's thoughts and reflections on their past relationship. The opening lines convey a sense of being trapped within their own thoughts, constantly dwelling on what the relationship meant to them. They express a longing for the other person to understand their current emotional state.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's realization that missing someone doesn't necessarily mean they want them back. They acknowledge that even though they came close to reaching out, it doesn't mean they regret not doing so. The line "And just because I felt like dying when you left out of the blue, it doesn’t mean I wanna be with anyone like you" reveals the intense pain caused by the sudden breakup, but also implies a desire to move on and find someone better suited for them.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's reflection on the relationship. They acknowledge that fate simply played its course and they couldn't have remained together. Despite this understanding, they confess their heartache and admit that they are still learning how to cope with the pain.
The bridge and final chorus convey a sense of empowerment and growth. The singer questions the sincerity of the other person's words and apologies, recognizing that being sorry doesn't automatically erase the hurt they caused. They acknowledge the emotional toll the relationship took on them, but also assert that they won't forget the pain inflicted upon them.
Overall, "Just Because" is a heartfelt exploration of the complex emotions that come with the aftermath of a breakup. It acknowledges the longing and hurt while also emphasizing the need for self-growth and resilience.

And just because I almost called
Also, the fact that I almost called you
Don’t mean I wish I had
Does not mean that I wish I actually did
And just because I felt like dying
Furthermore, the feeling of intense emotional pain
When you left out of the blue
When you suddenly left without any explanation
It doesn’t mean I wanna be with anyone like you
Does not imply that I want to be with someone similar to you
I’m sure
I am certain
Fate simply played its course
That destiny followed its natural path
I couldn't have stayed yours
I could not have remained yours
I deserve much more
I am worthy of something better
But I can’t help from hurting
However, I cannot stop the pain I feel
I guess I’m still learning

Does not mean that I have recovered from the pain
From letting you take almost all of me
As a result of allowing you to have almost all of me
Until you had enough
Until you no longer wanted or needed me
Looking back it only means you hurt me, you hurt me just because
Reflecting on the past, it is clear that you caused me pain for no reason
Hurt

For what?
For what reason?
Cuz looking back it only means you hurt me, you hurt me just because
Because upon reflection, it is evident that you caused me pain for no reason

Okey intento de traducción:
He estado atrapado en mi cabeza Pensando en lo que queríamos decir
Y si pudieras verme así quiero que sepas que
Solo porque te extraño, no significa que te quiera de vuelta Y solo porque casi llamo, no significa que desearía haberlo hecho
Y solo porque sentí morir cuando te fuiste de la nada
Solo porque te extraño, no significa que te quiera de vuelta No significa que quiero estar con alguien como tú
Estoy seguro de que el destino simplemente siguió su curso
No podría haberme quedado tuyo, merezco mucho más
Pero no puedo evitar lastimarme Supongo que todavía estoy aprendiendo
Solo porque te extraño, no significa que te quiera de vuelta Y solo porque casi llamo, no significa que desearía haberlo hecho
Y solo porque sentí morir cuando te fuiste de la nada
No significa que quiero estar con alguien como tú
Solo porque lo dijiste, no significa que fuera real.
Y solo porque te arrepientas ahora, no significa que me he curado
De dejarte tomar casi todo de mi, hasta que tuviste suficiente Mirando hacia atrás, solo significa que me lastimaste, me lastimaste solo porque Lastimarme (nunca debería haberlo hecho, nunca debería haberlo hecho) solo porque Herirme (¿ya eres feliz? ¿Ya eres feliz?) solo por diversión Herido (y no lo olvidaré) ¿por qué? Por que estoy Mirando hacia atrás, solo significa que me lastimaste, me lastimaste solo porque
Espero les ayude!!

You are my actual #1 favorite singer because of Spotify. I was on discord and my friend was listening to Spotify, so I decided to sign up. I started looking for sad songs and romance songs, and then yours started playing while I was playing a game. I immediately went to the Spotify tab and started listening to all of your songs and WOW. My friends keep begging me to stop spamming Sadie Jean in the group chat. PLEASE MAKE MORE SONGS, YOU’RE LITERALLY AN INSPIRATION AND I LISTEN TO LITERALLY EVERY SONG YOU HAVE! I love Just Because and 16. You’re literally better than Taylor Swift 😭
