| Kelly Clarkson – Gone Lyrics | 20 years ago |

when she says "What you see is not what you get" I think she's referring to the guy as being good-looking, who seems sincere, but basically just talks a good game. "With you there's just no measurement no way to tell what's real from what isn't there You're eyes they sparkle That's all changed since the lies that dropped like acid rain" Once she figures out that there is more to him than meets the eye, and that their relationship is based on him lying to her, she knows that it's time to leave. But still, she feels "broken," or taken advantage of, and wants him to know that she's not going to fall for him again. "There is nothing you can say Sorry doesn't cut it, babe Take the hint and walk away cause i'm gone Doesn't matter what you do It's what you did that's hurting you All I needed was the truth Now I'm gone." |

| Kelly Clarkson – I Hate Myself For Losing You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i don't think the song means that she lost a guy because she cheated on him. it actually sounds like she's blaming herself after a guy has cheated on her and then left her for someone else: "You got what you deserved Hope you're happy now 'Cause everytime I think of her with you It's killing me Inside..." When she says "I hate myself for losing you I'm seeing it all so clear I hate myself for losing you What do you do when you look in the mirror And staring at you is why he's not here?" it sounds like she is mad at herself-- like, if only she could have been prettier, smarter, or whatever, maybe he wouldn't have gone astray from their relationship. She feels like it's her fault for not being a better gf; thus, she hates herself for losing him. Even though you know you're better off without a cheating partner, there's still that lingering thought in your head that you should have done things differently, or that you could have prevented things from happening if only you had done this or that. And even after the fact, it's still hard to let go and move on... nobody really wants to be alone, right? anyway, it's a great song. :-) |
