Just One of Those Things Lyrics

Give me a minute
I need a second
Got to breathe there
It's Just one of those things

wish I could tell you
How much I need you
And how much you
need me to go

Please don't listen
to what I'm gonna tell you
Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up
But I didn't let go without struggle
you know, I still love you
It's just, just one of those things

I know I made it seem
Like all was written down
And I hid all my pain
And now I bring it out

And you'll be scared at first
cuz it's such an ugly blow
I don't know which is worse
to learn or not to know

Please don't listen
to what I'm gonna tell you
Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up
But I didn't let go without struggle
you know, I still love you
It's just, just one of those things

Please don't listen
to what I'm gonna tell you
Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up
But I didn't let go without struggle
you know, I still love you
It's just, it's just one of those things

I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us
I tried to tell you a million times
You have always been one of us

Please don't listen
(I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us)
Please don't listen
(I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us)
Please don't listen....

Give me a minute

How much I need you
And how much you

Please don't listen

Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up

Like all was written down
And I hid all my pain
And now I bring it out

And you'll be scared at first

Please don't listen

I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us
I tried to tell you a million times
You have always been one of us

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think that she still loves a guy but things aren't going very well.

"Please don't listen to what I'm gonna tell you Look in my eyes and know I simply had to give up But I didn't let go without struggle you know, I still love you It's just, just one of those things"

That probably means that she just doesn't want to actually SAY that it's over. She just wants him to understand it's over. She wants him to know that she had to give up because he doesn't treat her well or something like that. She wants him to know she tried to keep their relationship together but she needed to let go. She still loves him,though. The part where it says, "It's just,just one of those things" she means it's fate and it happens because it's supposed to.

PS. YAY!!! i am the 1st one to comment!does little dance

i agree with -holdmeindying. i think this song is about a kind of broken relationship. i think in this part "I don't know which is worse to learn or not to know" is that maybe he cheated on her... "I know I made it seem Like all was written down And I hid all my pain And now I bring it out

And you'll be scared at first cuz it's such an ugly blow I don't know which is worse to learn or not to know"

i think that thats just like shes over her boiling point and shes done.

or that maybe he thought she was cheating on him with a close guy friend. cause it says "I tried to tell you a million times You have always been one of us" and that "I don't know which is worse to learn or not to know" that he doesnt want her and her close guy friend to not be friends.

I think it might be about a girl who is ending a relationship because she still loves the guy, but she's not IN love with him anymore.
