This song is about how a boy has recently broken up with a girl and is still trying to move on and “recover” from her. However, another girl has shown interest in the boy and this is his kind of “message” to her saying he’s sorry and that he’s “in no shape to love” as he’s still recovering from her.
[Verse 1]
Harder every time and it starts to show
On my face and on my wall
Where all her pictures fall
Getting over a three leaf clover, That I thought was four
It's just the same as before
[Chorus]
Forget me, girl, I'm still recovering from her
It hurts so
I'm sorry, girl, I'm in no shape to love
It's not you its her
[Verse 2]
An absent-minded find
Was thought to be a lucky break
But what's at stake is only dignity
Alone I'll stand as they all dance
I've tangoed one too many times, The floor is just not for me
[Chorus]
Forget me, girl, I'm still recovering from her
It hurts so
I'm sorry, girl, I'm in no shape to love
It's not you its her
[Bridge]
So take it slow, even stop
Every now and again when I say when
Here we go on our way to sudden change
Turn the tables to point the other way
And I'm dismayed
And if I stop breathing keep your arms around me
[Outro Chorus]
Forget me, girl, I'm still recovering from her
It hurts so
I'm sorry, girl, I'm in no shape to love
It's not you
Forget me, girl, I'm still recovering from her
It hurts so
I'm sorry, girl, I'm in no shape to love
It's not you
