It's over, it's over, it's over

It seems you can't hear me
When I open my mouth you never listen
You say stay, but what does that mean
Do you think that I honestly want to be reminded forever?

[Chorus:]
Don't waste your time trying to fix
What I want to erase
What I need to forget
Don't waste your time on me my friend
Friend, what does that even mean
I don't want your hand
You'll only pull me down
So save your breath
Don't waste your song on me, on me
Don't waste your time

It's not easy not answering
Everytime I want to talk to you
But I can't
If you only knew the hell I put myself through
Replaying memories in my head of you and I
Every night

[Chorus]

You're calling
You're talking
You're trying
Trying to get in
But it's over, it's over
It's over, friend

Don't waste your time trying to fix it
So save your breath
Don't waste your song on me, on me
Don't waste your time

You held me
You felt me
You left me
But it's over, it's over, it's over
You touched me
You had me
But it's over, it's over
It's over, my friend
Don't waste my time

    General Comment:i think they used to be together but he told her we should be only friend (i guess that's why she says"Friend, what does that even mean")
    and then he tried to get back to her so she's telling him not to waste hisYou held me
    time on her as she will never get back to him , she's over him
    also what proves that they were together pu broke up is that she says:
    "You felt me
    You left me
    But it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
    You touched me
    You had me
    But it’s over, it’s over, it’s over my friend
    Don’t waste my time"
    that means he had her but he left her so it's over

    General Comment:it could either be a breakup thing whereby the guy is trying to be 'just friends' afterwards and sometimes thats the last thing u need, and she's disregarding his gesture as almost patronising 'friend what does that even mean?!'

    It could also be in a situation where u seemingly both like each other and things are just beginning and then the guy refers to you two as 'friends' and u thought it was just starting out, and saying look just dot even bother....how are we/can we be friends when it was clearly something more!

    General Comment:Maybe not necasarily about a break up. To me this is about a girl who really liked this guy, and he liked her, but he asked out another girl. And he said they should be friends, but she can't cause, she just can't. Maybe idk.

    General Comment:i think this song is about how a girl feels about a guy who has kind of screwed her over. but at the same time, i think the guy in the song still sort of likes her and wants to be friends with her, but she just "needs to forget" because this guy makes her feel worse about herself. so its like her telling the guy shes over him because he didnt treat her like a friend at all and especially not like something special, hence the break up. thats just my take on it and especially since i like am going through this situation right now i prob twisted it to fit my problem.

    General Comment:maybe she's talking about a friend...it's not necessary to be about a lover; she was his/her friend but something happened and they're not anymore, and the other person is trying to become a friend again but kelly would never belive him again cause he only pulled her down
    i adore u kellllyyyyy...

    General Comment:Obvious meaning...but can I just say I love the whole meaning of this song. I hate when you break up with someone and they're always like "we can still be friends"...well gee, that's just what I want...to still talk to you all the time as if everything is fine between us. um, NO! so I can totally relate to Kelly here... "friend, what does that even mean?" It's like, we're broken up, just forget me, move on, etc... =)

    General Comment:I think that they broke up, but the guy is trying to work it out still. She's saying that it's not any easier for her, but he blew it, breaking up with her. He shouldn't waste time trying to fix what will never be.

    Pinkbutterfly, don't you think it would make more sense that he broke up with her??? Idk, maybe you're right, it's just the lines:
    "You held me
    You felt me
    You left me"
    suggest that he blew it.

    This is one of the only songs where I like the chorus better than the verses or the ending. I know it's corny, but I love the "Friend, what does that even mean?"
