By The Way Lyrics
In the winding down hours
I let your heart down again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
Old habits die hard
I always end up hating the end
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same
Speechless and frozen
Uncomfortable silence again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same
Battered and bruised
Broken confused
It's time we both knew
Can't stop what I started
This time we both lose, lose
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same
The same, the same,
I'll always stay the same
(battered and bruised)
The same, (broken confused), the same
I didn't warn you that I'd always stay the same
I let your heart down again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
Old habits die hard
I always end up hating the end
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same
Uncomfortable silence again

This Song to me means im not gonna change... I already told you who i am you can either except me as i am or not But then he falls for her and cant stand to see her hurt
thats what i think
but no matter what it is i absolutely love them and one day i am going to meet them without their songs i dont know what i would do it would be horrible

Personally i think this song is about a guy and a girl who were maybe good friends before and decided to go out or whatever.. and maybe either she was abused by previous boyfriends or he was abused as a child or maybe even abused a past girlfriend("im no better than the ones before me") and she is determined to help him not to be that type of person ("what made you think you'd have it your way".."don't say i didn't warn you that i'll always stay the same") and he really wants to change too but he had a breakdown and ended up abusing her too ("I'm in the middle of a breakdown, watching you scream") and he knows he let her down and hates that he did that to her ("In the winding down hours.. i let your heart down again") and he tried to change and be better but in the end he gave up because he thinks he can't ("it's time we both knew, can't stop what i started.. this time we both lose".. "i'll always stay the same")
which i geuss makes the song more literal than everyone thinks.
but idk im probably wrongg..
when this kid i was supposed to marry cheated and i broke up with him hinder was all i listend to for like a month ... it's a great break up cd..
when i broke up with my bf this was all i listened to cux i loved him but we werent gonna change so it had to be.. .
Good song!
aww i love this so SO much!!
this song reminds me sooo much of my ex. he was so goddamn stubborn
"by the way, by the way, dont say i didnt warn you that ill always stay the same"
but it wasnt his fault. hes been hurt and it made him that way.
I love the song...but it kinda confuses me. Can someone explain the meaning to me?
The song is about a couple breaking up and one of them wants them to be friends and the other is saying not thats not me and he is also saying i told you i would haven't changed By the way "Don't say I didn't warn you That I'll always stay the same"

Also for proof in the song he says "this time we both lose" that to me means your not gonna get me as a friend and i'm not gonna get you as a lover.

I don't really understand this song, but I love it. I guess maybe he just keeps letting girls down time after time, its always the same.
They're in a fight I guess... at the end he completely changes his words around, which just confuses me more. Great song though.
