Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well, so well
You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion, so I can complain
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well, so well
I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to!
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly
You cannot have me
I thought I knew you
But I've got a new view
I thought I knew you well, oh well
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well, so well
You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion, so I can complain
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well, so well
I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to!
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly
You cannot have me
I thought I knew you
But I've got a new view
I thought I knew you well, oh well

"Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees"
The girl was seriously upset about the ending of the relationship, she just moped around pathetically all the time.
"I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday"
The girl wished she could switch places with the boy, who seemed to be getting along just fine without her. She couldn't believe how heartless he was being. Then, one day everything changed.
"Oh you came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you (whoa)
I thought I knew you (whoa)
I thought I knew you well... so well"
One day, after the girl had finally moved on, he decided to pop back into her life. He seemed to have changed a lot since she saw him last.
"You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion, so I can't complain"
The boy is now trying to get the girl back, they've switched places. He's the one moping around pathetically now. It kind of amuses the girl to see the karma, but it's also really weird to see him being the sappy one.
"I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to!"
The girl has definately moved on and found herself again. She's making fun of the boy who now is acting exactly the way she did after the break up. Instead of acting like he's better off without her he's come crawling back acting like he wants her in his life. The girl sees right through this though. She realizes that he just wants her back because he can't find anyone better. She realized she's much better off without that scumbag.
"Ooh on Sunday morning
Without a warning
Sunday morning
I thought I knew you
Sunday morning
Ooh you want me badly
Cannot have me"
Basically she's saying "too bad loser, you missed out, kiss my *ss, etc."
And that's why I love this song! It's very relatable, in my opinion :)
"You had me on my knees" - well I don't really need to explain that one.
"You looked like me on Sunday" - girls who don't wash their makeup off before they go to bed wake up looking like the Joker in The Dark Knight. And because nobody washes their faces before going to bed after they've had a big Saturday night, they wake up looking horrible on Sunday morning.
The chorus, it sort of fits the theme but it's difficult to explain.
I could try and explain the rest but I think it fits pretty nicely.
