How many times do I have to say
To get away, get gone?
Flip your shit past another lass's
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away
With a lot, but I’m not turned-on
So put away that meat you’re selling

'Cause I do know what’s good for me-
And I’ve done what I could for you
But you’re not benefiting, and yet I’m sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again

How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth was out that he don’t give a
Shit about me

How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I can’t breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I’m much obliged to up and go
I’ll idealize, then realize that it’s no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
There’s nothing left to grieve
Fuckin' go

'Cause I've done what I could for you
And I do know what’s good for me
And I’m not benefiting, instead
I’m sitting singing again, singing again, singing again
Sing, sing, sing again

How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this?
M'I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth was out that he don’t give a
Shit about me

    My Interpretation:Pretty much what has already been said - she's been on the receiving end of a painful break up and is trying to move on, but her progress keeps being hampered by the sporadic return of her ex - who has already chosen to end the relationship but is now facing doubts about the decision and wants to test the water again, with no regard to the emotional toll it is taking on a former partner who has already told him to stay away so she can start to forget about him.

    She knows from experience that he doesn't 'really' want things to work, but he's feeling lonely again and is looking to fill the time - he's not concerned with the pain he's likely to cause and is only doing it for himself. Which is why she knows he doesn't give a shit and why, along with the fact that she is still harbouring feelings that are largely unrequited, she is no longer able to have that person as part of her life.

    I'm not usually a fan of Fiona's but I've been through a similar situation and this one nails it. Good stuff.

    My Interpretation:I forgot to add, i see the first 2 line as something she said to herself to stay away from him and get the thought of him off her head

    My Interpretation:I relate to this song, but instead of a breakup where she's angry at a guy who took her love for granted, i see it as an unrequited love.

    She extends her affection, and he knows she loves him, but played a game and mistreat her love. She finally woke up and tell him to "fucking go" because clearly all the admiration is taking a toll on her.

    General Comment:I think she's extremely bitter about the relationship. She loves him, but she's fed up with "the game" - "How many times can it escalate, Til it elevates to a place I can't breathe?" She is sick of not knowing that this is it.... and says "Fucking go! Cuz I've done what I could for you!" The guy is a lost cause. Sad, cuz she loves him.

    General Comment:I also agree with celestia...Fiona heals, putting her on and hearing her sharing my emotions, saying how I feel more eloquently than I ever could really makes eveyrhting better when I'm feeling down.

    General Comment:LOL... god I"m relieved now... I had no idea everyone else in the world loved "fuckin' go" so much. I never cuss and I get real glee out of saying that in this one song... it's so perfect. she builds up to it with her alternating between annoyance, sadness, grief... then she just can't take it anymore and explodes with fucking go! i love it.
