Girlfriend Lyrics

You really gone, girlfriend
The dryers on, amen
And I'm alone for the first time
I walk away now
I walk away now

You left a sock, good friend
Where's the pair broken?
Are you aware that I'm missing you?
I walk away now
I walk away now

But I can't run to you no more
To catch me when I'm falling
I know I have to let you go
But I will not be broken
No I will not be broken
But keep the slow fading memories

This place is strange, empty
You did your time, plenty
And walls are bare where your pictures hung
I walk away now

But I can't call you up no more
And no, we can't just be friends
But now it's time to let you go
But I will not be broken
No I will not be broken
And keep the slowly fading

Memories, memories
I'm keeping these memories

I can't run to you no more
To catch me when I'm falling
I know I have to let you go
But I will not be broken

For every tear, a lesson learned
Every good time golden
But now it's time to let you go
And I will not be broken
And I will not be broken
No I will not be broken
And keep the slowly fading memories

okay. the lyrics are most definitelly wrong. These are the lyrics from the booklet from the cd.

You're really gone, girlfriend the dryers on, amen. and I'm alone for the first time. You left a sock, girlfriend. where's the pair broken? Are you aware that I'm missing you?

But I can't run to you no more to catch me when I'm falling. I know I have to let you go but I will not be broken. But keep the slowly fading memories.

This place is strange, empty. You did your time, plenty. And the walls are bare where your pictures hung.

But I can't call you up no more, and no we can't just be friends. I know it's time to let you go, and I will not be broken.

For every tear, a lesson learned. Every good time golden, but now it's time to let you go and I will not be broken, but keep the slowly fading memories.

I definitely agree that it's about a break up. Probably from a relationship that dragged on, or possibly they took eachother for granted. I think it's moreso saying that he misses the relationship, but not necessarily the girl.

hmm "You love to suck good friend Wheres the pair broken" Wouldn't you left a sock make a little more sense.... :-P

first of all, it's "you left a sock, girlfriend". the part about the pair alludes to the fact that their relationship is broken

I was so surprised to see no comments on this song! I find it's such a soulful song.. it's kinda confusing coz you don't know who broke up with who or if they did it together... but all I know is that it describes in a happy way a harsh break up. A great song to listen to months after your break up.

by far my favorite eve 6 song. i think its about the girl breaking up with guy.. because he says that he misses her..etc. these lyrics are kind of wrong though.

lmao @ "You love to suck, good friend"...but anyway. The best lyrics by far are "But I can't call you up no more, and no we can't just be friends." Incredibly sad, and yet amazingly sincere.

I LOVE this song. Gives me the chills every time I hear it. It really helped me out after I broke up with my girlfriend. Basically, to me, the song is about knowing the breakup had to come to an end (He makes how the relationship ended ambiguous on purpose, I think) even though both people still loved eachother. For him, as for, it's too painful to just try to be friends when you know something more is there. So as much as he loves her as a friend, he can't keep contact because it would be too painful. What's interesting about this song is the narrator is fully aware of this, and aware of how bad it sucks, but he also realizes that it has to be done. It's the "I wish it didn't have to end, but god damn that was good" stage of a breakup, exemplified by, "Every good time, golden". In short, he knows he'll eventually grow and overcome the heartache, and it will make him stornger, but right now it's still difficult.

Great song, easily my favorite eve 6 song. Pretty obvious what its about though. Loved the chorus.

holy crap i cant believe people put lyrics up on this site without knowing them first.

"you love to suck, good friend" ?????

wtf? thats so annoying. thank you for correcting them

Cover art for Girlfriend lyrics by Eve 6

Someone correct these, they're horribly wrong. Anyway, yes, it's about a breakup, apparently written in late 2000 or early 2001, and went through at least one very different draft before becoming what it is now. It's so much better live.

Cover art for Girlfriend lyrics by Eve 6

The more I listen to this song, the more I think the background vocal says "I walk away, for now" which changes the meaning a bit. They both love each other, and cherish what they have, but for whatever reason, right now, what they have needs to end, and he needs to let her go. He hopes maybe they may get back together some day, but right now they need to be apart.
