Lyrics meaning
The lyrics describe someone caught between two relationships. He misses and desires the person he has been seeing, but another woman is also part of his life. He has made excuses and pretended to be alone, yet the truth has come out. The repeated โOh no, noโ suggests alarm, regret, or an attempt to avoid facing the situation. By the end, he says he will stop โhanging roundโ and end the relationship, even though he expects it to hurt.
A few expressions carry extra meaning. โTime wasnโt rightโ is an excuse that puts off meeting without explaining the real reason. The woman answering his phone exposes his lie: he thought the other person was โblind,โ meaning unaware, not literally unable to see. โQuit hanging roundโ means to stop staying close or continuing an uncertain relationship.
The speakerโs decision is not completely clear-cut. He says he longs to see the person and wants to please them, but also believes he has to let go. He admits that ending things with the other woman is difficult, and says both people are lonely. This may show genuine conflict, but it does not erase his dishonesty. His promise to move on sounds determined, while the repeated longing leaves open whether he will truly follow through.
