Lyrics meaning

The speaker is ending a relationship with someone who seems directionless and unreliable. At first, she asks whether she is expected to suffer while he sorts out his life; then she firmly says she will be fine without him. The mood becomes energetic and self-assured, with friends and a repeated โ€œgoodbyeโ€ helping turn the breakup into a declaration of independence.

Several details show how she is trying to move on. Changing her phone numbers suggests she wants to cut off contact, while cutting her hair because it reminds her of him is a concrete way to make a fresh start. โ€œIโ€™ve been there and backโ€ is an idiom meaning she has already experienced the difficulty and come through it. Her โ€œsingle girlโ€ confidence is presented not as quiet sadness but as a new attitude she enjoys sharing with her friends.

Her repeated claim that she is โ€œso over itโ€ sounds convincing, but the song does not tell us exactly how much pain remains beneath the confidence. The sharpness of her words may express genuine relief, or it may help her feel strong while separating from someone who still affects her. Either way, the lyrics emphasize her decision to leave rather than wait for him to change.
