You called to say you wanted out.
Well, I can't say I blame you now.
Sometimes you've got to fold
Before you're found out.
Well thanks for waiting this long
To show yourself.
'Cause now that I can see you,
I don't think you're worth a second glance.
So much for all the promises you made,
They served you well.
Now you're gone and they're wasted on me.
So much for your endearing sense of charm,
It served you well.
Now you've gone and they're wasted on me.
I guess that all you've got
Is all you're gonna get.
Well, I can't say I blame you now.
Sometimes you've got to fold
Before you're found out.
Well thanks for waiting this long
To show yourself.
'Cause now that I can see you,
I don't think you're worth a second glance.
So much for all the promises you made,
They served you well.
Now you're gone and they're wasted on me.
So much for your endearing sense of charm,
It served you well.
Now you've gone and they're wasted on me.
I guess that all you've got
Is all you're gonna get.

In relationships people lie to get what they want. Those promises get people what they really shouldn't have. Everyone has experienced this. Or probably will. And my heart goes out to you.
"Now that I can see you, I don't think you're worth a second glance."
Once you realize that the "ex" is just a big liar and used you, you feel bitter, and realize that despite how much you let them affect you, and you hurt, they just aren't even worth that feeling. It's not worth looking back at what you had. The person you saw was a lie, the person you now see is someone not worth seeing.
"so much for, so much more"
Great line, he saw a future for the both of them that made him happy. Well, all those dreams of the future were crushed, "rapid hope loss". He believed the relationship would blossom if only she didn't dump him. Now he's crushed and can't find any reason to be optimistic for the future.
"sometimes you've got to fold before you're found out"
*like in playing poker, theres only a certain extent to which you can bluff, if you do it too much, people will start to catch on, so you have to know when to just throw the cards in... in life, you can only keep a lie going for so long until someone discovers the truth. So i guess hes saying he understand why she wants out, because she knows shes wrong and is quitting while shes ahead, before he discovers the "truth"...or something along the lines of that lol.
"Now that i can see you, i dont think you're worth a second glance"
*self-explanatory! But it happens to the best of us. They say love is blind, in the beginning, you dont completely know the person and its easy to get caught up in a new relationship and just not see the other persons flaws until a later time...then you realize, they werent who you thought they were.
"I guess that all you've got is all you're gunna get, so much for, so much more"
This is my fav part of the song! Its so true, for that type of person. Because of the type of person she is, everything shes got in her life now, is all shell ever get. Theres no way for her to grow until she can change. Like he said in the beginning, she wanted out, she quit instead of trying to make things right, so if shes always going to do that, how can she ever get more than she already has? If that makes any sense lol.
I make no sense, I'm sorry DX
He wanted out before he was found out. He promised me the world, he promised me we would get married - now that I can see him, I don't think he's worth a second glance.
That idiot - he lost the best thing that ever happened to him. So much for so much more - what we had was all he's going to get. When this all blows up in his face I won't be there to pick up the pieces.
"So much for all the promises you made
They served you well
And now you're gone and they're wasted on me"
i think this part is about when someone is like "oh you're the love of my life, my only one! i'll never love anyone else!" and then they break up and that person that said that goes to the next relationship and says the same things.
but this song is amazing and i definatly connected to it!
