This song revolves around the topic of someone who loves their partner so much and believing that they deserve better. She’s trying to let them go because she believes it’s the best thing to do.
[Verse 1]
Every time you get away from me, I wish you’d stay with me
But when you’re here I disappear, waiting till you leave
Tell me if you feel the same, do I drive you insane?
You want me gone but later on you’re calling out my name
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You are too perfect the way that you love me is a way I do not deserve
Too much of anything even something you need
Still wears you down till it hurts
[Chorus]
So even though it hurts like hell, I’m just a little overwhelmed
So I’m gonna let you shine for someone else
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
So even though I want no love better than the one that I’m giving up
I cannot keep it all to myself
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
[Verse 2]
And I know that I’ll regret it soon, the way I’m losing you
To the arms of someone that can better handle you
Kinda drove me crazy how, when I wrote you down
You’d look good on paper but I couldn’t keep you round
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You are a handful, boy my only downfall was that I just couldn’t keep up
Candy that’s too sweet will only rot your teeth
At what point have you had enough?
[Chorus]
So even though it hurts like hell, I’m just a little overwhelmed
So I’m gonna let you shine for someone else
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
So even though I want no love better than the one that I’m giving up
I cannot keep it all to myself
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
[Bridge]
Go smother someone (somebody, somebody, somebody, please)
Other than me
I just couldn’t (somebody, somebody, somebody, please)
Be all that you need
Smother someone (somebody, somebody, somebody, please)
Other than me
I just couldn’t, couldn’t be all that you need
[Chorus]
So even though it hurts like hell, I’m just a little overwhelmed
So I’m gonna let you shine for someone else
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
So even though I want no love better than the one that I’m giving up
I cannot keep it all to myself
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
