In this energetic track, All Time Low delves into the tumultuous emotions of a failing relationship where every choice seems fraught with consequences. The protagonist feels trapped between action and inaction, symbolized by the chorus "damned if I do ya, damned if I don't." This expression captures the dilemma of wanting to stay connected to someone who may no longer have feelings for them, highlighting the frustration and confusion that often accompanies love and breakups. The lyrics suggest a struggle with denial and acceptance, as well as the painful realization that moving on might be necessary despite lingering feelings. 🎭 Ultimately, it's about the internal battle between holding on to what was and letting go for self-preservation. 💔
Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)
Lyrics
I've fought it for a long time now
While drowning in a river of denial
I washed up, fixed up, picked up
All my broken things
'Cause you left me, police tape, chalk line
Tequila shots in the dark scene of the crime
Suburban living with a feeling that I'm giving up
Everything for you
Oh, oh, oh, how was I supposed to know
That you were o-o-over me? I think that I should go (go!)
And something's telling me to leave, but I won't
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya, damned if I don't
It took a lot to take you home
One stupid call and I end up alone
Your made up, dressed up, messed up
Plans I set in stone
But you made me do it
And I don't like dancing in the alley
With a street rat night life
Can't keep living with a feeling that I'm giving up
Everything for you
Oh, oh, oh, how was I supposed to know
That you were o-o-over me? I think that I should go (go!)
And something's telling me to leave, but I won't
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya, damned if I don't
Make a fool of myself when you hang around
When you're gone, I'm a match that's burning out
Could've been, should've done what I said I was going to (said that I would do)
But I never promised you (but I never promised you)
(Promised you, promised you, promised you, promised you)
Oh, oh, oh, how was I supposed to know
That you were o-o-over me? I think that I should go (go!)
It never took a fool to see the things that I won't
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya, damned if I do ya
Oh, oh, oh, how was I supposed to know ('cause you left me police scenes, chalk line)
That you were o-o-over me? I think that I should go (Tequila shots in the dark scene of the crime)
And something's telling me to leave but I won't
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya, damned if I d-d-d
Damned if I do ya, damned if I don't
