The way I see this song is more like a reminiscing of a past relationship. And he doesn't want her to know how much her loves and misses her anymore, so he pretends that everything is okay, even though he's heartbroken at having lost her. So he doesn't want her to see what he's become without her because she was his whole world, and without her, he's a shell of the man he was. Reduced to having to put her down to try and forget her, he knows he can't do it, so he just tries to play off the pain.
This guy is really a talented artist. I dont understand why he isn't on the mainstream. He stands out among everyone else. He verbalizes the point of a song in a way that's so unique, you'd tell yourself, "of course! why didn't i express myself like that?!". He makes the perfect of melodies, emphasizes on the right parts. He's very expressive yet manages to leave the listeners thinking as what the song could mean. Very talented.
its hard to sing as i chinese but now, i think i ve mastered it. I love jason mraz ever since i was a child. His songs composed of most part of my early life. He is the door for me to step out of china and travel around the globe. He is the reason why i am here in US. I am most graceful of my family that supports me but also him.
This is an anti love song guys. He's said so in his live versions. This song is so beautifully played and it obviously took lots of emotion to write and sing. This song is just perfection.
i think that's the beauty of the song, it can kind of go both ways. a lot of the times the most passionate relationship has a very thin line between love and hate.
It's been 6yrs ago..you need not to be feel sad anymore neither to reminisced those bad things that happened to you..at least you learned your lesson..always rmmber it's their lost not yours🤗 your tears are not deserved to be fall w/those kind of ppl
@Lorendrawn Thank you. I was quite surprised that this comment is still up. Yeah, it was tough, it was nobody's fault. It was just not working out. Still, thank you for being so thoughtful
Actually, I feel it's more along the lines that he is still in love with someone. Whether or not they were once involved or not (though I doubt it - the start even says essentially she wouldn't give him the time of day). I see it as he's trying to make himself believe that he's over her but realizes he can't so he's leaving her life completely. She makes him go crazy and it's not healthy - so he keeps repeating he doesn't miss her to make himself believe it as he walks away.
I sent this song to a friend that almost became my partner. She moved away with some dude she barely knew and when I told her this song is a perfect depiction of her in my eyes, she responded with a :/
i really cant stop thinking about the STATUE OF LIBERTY when he sings She was the girl with the broadest shoulders But she would die before I crawled over them She is taller than I am She knew I wouldn't mind the view there Or the altitude with a mouth full of air She let me down the doubt came out until the now became later nothing it just strikes me everytime xD
@livinlargeindublin no he's not. He's telling the person not to tell the girl that he's NOT in love with her anymore, not to tell her that he's moved on and doesn't hurt anymore, because it would hurt her that he's happy without her
I see your point of view and though I don't necessarily disagree, I also think that that the Beatles' strength laid in their simple yet brilliant songwriting and harmonies. They laid the foundation for the generations of anyone influenced by rock and roll in that era and for many generations after. As for their actual music...not the most technical or instrumentally incredible, but still many awesome, memorable songs in my opinion. I appreciate the respectful response.
Lirik & Terjemahan I hear she's kicking ass across the board Kudengar dia menyemangati tanpa batas And rock two hundred thousand higher scorer Dan mengguncang dengan dua ratus ribu skor lebih tinggi Just in time to save the world of being taken over Tepat waktu tuk selamatkan dunia dari diambil alih She's a warrior Dia seorang prajurit I couldn't play again because the game Aku tak mau lagi bermain karena permainannya It never end it never even landed on the can Tak pernah berakhir, bahkan tak pernah dimulai And never let me in to spend my quarter Dan tak pernah biarkanku masuk tuk habiskan uangku There's no love for me no more Tak ada lagi cinta untukku Say, it isn't so Katakanlah, tak begitu How she easily come, and she easy go Betapa mudah dia datang, dan pergi Please don't tell her Tolong jangan bilang padanya That I've been meaning to miss her Bahwa aku benar-benar merindukannya Because I don't Karena aku tak merindukannya She was the girl with the broadest shoulders Dialah gadis berbahu paling lebar But she would die before I crawled over them Tapi dia kan mati sebelum aku merayapinya She is taller than I am Dia lebih tinggi daripada aku She knew I wouldn't mind the view there Dia tahu aku tak masalah dengan pemandangan itu Or the altitude with a mouth full of air Atau ketinggian dengan mulut penuh udara She let me down and doubt came out until Dia tlah mengecewakanku dan keraguan pun datang hingga The now became later Kini menjadi nanti Say that it isn't so Katakanlah, tak begitu How she easily come, how she easy go Betapa mudah dia datang dan pergi Please don't tell her Tolong jangan bilang padanya Because I don't really need to know Karena aku tak ingin tahu That I'm crazy like the rest of us Bahwa aku gila seperti yang lainnya And I'm crazier when I'm next to her Dan aku lebih gila saat aku di dekatnya So why after the all of everything that came and went Jadi mengapa setelah semua yang terjadi I care enough to still be singing Aku masih cukup peduli tuk nyanyikan of the bitter end and broken eras Tentang akhir pahit dan era yang hancur I told you I don't but Kukatakan padaku, aku tak peduli tapi I am only trying to be the best with my intent to cure Aku hanya berusaha jadi yang terbaik dan bermaksud menyembuhkan The rest is sure to lay me ease Sisanya tentu menenangkanku The plural hurts of the words of reverse psychology Sakit hati jamak tentang kata-kata psikologi pembalikan That's easier said, easier than done Lebih mudah diucapkan, lebih mudah daripada dilakukan Please don't dare tell her what I've become Kumohon jangan bilang padanya tlah jadi apa diriku Please don't mention all the attention I have drawn Kumohon jangan beritahu semua perhatian yang kuberikan Please don't bother 'cause she'll feel guilty when I'm gone Kumohon jangan repot-repot karena dia kan merasa bersalah saat aku tiada Because I'm crazy like the rest of us Karena aku gila seperti yang lainnya But I'm crazier when I'm next to her Tapi aku lebih gila saat di sisimu And it's amazing how she's so self-assured Tapi sungguh mengagumkan betapa dia begitu yakin But I know she'd hate me if she knew my words Tapi aku tahu dia kan membenciku jika dia tahu kata-kataku Do I hurt anymore, do I hurt, well Apakah aku menyakiti lagi, apakah aku menyakiti I don't, I don't, I don't Tidak, tidak, tidak
I think its about him liking this girl that hes close to. He wants to be more than friends but doesn't want to admit that or it would destroy their relationship. He is stuck in the friendzone and he would rather have that then have her to hate him for destroying their friendship.
