We been talkin’ for hours ’bout how we shouldn’t talk for hours on end
Kissing after a conversation ’bout how we’d probably be better off as friends
Same time here next weekend
Say we won’t do this again
Make me fall where I stand
Only like you can
Yeah, I say I’m done, but I’m still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it’s still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you’re already over?
How am I supposed to leave you now that you’re already over?
Selfishly don’t wanna give you time to be on someone else’s lips
But I’ll take 3 short hours over 3 long weeks pretending like we don’t exist
Same time here next weekend
Say we won’t do this again
Make me fall where I stand
Only like you can
Yeah, I say I’m done, but I’m still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it’s still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you’re already over?
How am I supposed to leave you now that you’re already over?
After the aftermath
I know you’ll be coming back to the back bedroom
And it won’t be the last of the aftermath
I know you’ll be coming back to the back bedroom
And it won’t be the last time
I say I’m done, but I’m still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it’s still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you’re already over?
Yeah, I like my bed, but it likes you too
How am I supposed to leave you now that you’re already over?
Bittersweet Cycles of Love and Letting Go
“Already Over” by Sabrina Carpenter offers an intimate window into the complexities of modern relationships that refuse to end cleanly. The lyrics capture the push and pull between two people who can’t quite sever ties, even as they recognize the need to move on. Carpenter delves into the confusion and longing that linger after a breakup, especially when emotional closure is elusive. Lines like “How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?” highlight the struggle of letting go when the heart isn’t ready. The recurring moments spent together, despite promises to stop, reflect a beautifully honest portrayal of vulnerability and the comfort found in old patterns. Ultimately, the song resonates with anyone who’s ever felt lost in the aftermath of a relationship that’s ended in name but not in feeling.
