The song is about a boy cheating, on a girl and she has found evidence on his phone. She then proceeds to delete him out of her life, as easy as it is to delete a message, showing that she perhaps always knew he wasn’t ‘the one.’
[Verse 1]
Your word is cheaper than your discount jeans
Got the truth from your iPhone screen
A dirty message and it ain't from me
You're too dumb to press delete
Tangled in your web of lies
Running out of your alibis
Get on your knees and apologise
So I can laugh as I say goodbye
[Chorus]
Woah, boy you're gonna regret it
You know I'm as good as it gets
I'm taking you off of every list
I'm gonna hit erase 'til there's nothing left
You can Facebook, Twitter and text me to death
But oh you're deleted
(Oh oh oh oh)
Oh you're deleted
Deleted
[Verse 2]
What you did boy you can't take back
Like when I put your stuff in the trash
Burn it up, watch it turn to ash
Hey baby what'd you think about that
[Chorus]
Woah, boy you're gonna regret it
Don't you know I'm as good as it gets
I'm taking you off of every list
I'm gonna hit erase 'til there's nothing left
You can Facebook, Twitter and text me to death
But oh you're deleted
[Bridge]
I'm on one hell of cleanse
Dragging every picture to the trash can
I knew I'd say what I'm saying
Oh you're deleted
It's like you don't exist
Deleted, deleted
All your numbers, all your letters, all our memories dead
There's nothing left
[Chorus]
I'm taking you off of every list
Hitting erase 'til there's nothing left
You can Facebook, Twitter and text me to death
But oh
I'm taking you off of every list
I'm gonna hit erase 'til there's nothing left
You can Facebook, Twitter and text me to death
But oh you're deleted
Oh
[Outro]
Kicking, dragging every memory to the trash can
Oh
You're deleted
