Whatever Lyrics

There's a space in my heart
When it all comes crashing down
Any time I hear your name out in public
There's a place that I go
Every time that you're in town
It's just me and the knots in my stomach

And it's true, it wasn't easy
Getting over you
But that's just what I had to do

Whatever, whatever
We were never good together
I'll be here and you stay there
Truth is, I never cared
Whatever, whatever
Two years, that ain't forever
I'll be here and you stay there
Won't see me cry no tears

(Whatever, whatever)
Won't see me cry no tears
(Whatever, whatever)
Won't see me cry no tears
(Whatever, whatever)
Won't see me cry no tears
(Whatever, whatever)
Won't see me cry no tears

Never mind, never mind
Feels like you were never mine
Go lose myself in the arms of a stranger
And yeah, it sucks, sometimes in love
You try your best, but it doesn't work out
And it don't matter either way, oh yeah

Whatever, whatever
We were never good together
I'll be here and you stay there
Truth is, I never cared
Whatever, whatever
Two years, that ain't forever (oh yeah)
I'll be here and you stay there
Won't see me cry no tears

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (won't see me cry no tears)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (whatever, whatever)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (won't see me cry no tears)
(Whatever, whatever)
Won't see me cry no tears
(Whatever, whatever)
Won't see me cry no tears

Whatever, whatever
We were never good together
I'll be here and you stay there
Truth is, I never cared
Whatever, whatever
Two years, that ain't forever
I'll be here and you stay there
Won't see me cry no tears

What is the Meaning of Whatever?

Exploring the complexities of a failed relationship, this track delves into the emotions of moving on and letting go. The protagonist expresses a sense of indifference, asserting that they were never compatible and that she doesn't care anymore. Despite this outward facade, there are hints of lingering pain, especially when she mentions hearing her ex's name or when he is in town. The repeated line "Won't see me cry no tears" suggests an attempt to maintain a strong front. However, the duration of their relationship - two years - indicates that it wasn’t insignificant. Ultimately, it's a song about resilience and self-empowerment after heartbreak, emphasizing the importance of moving forward rather than dwelling on the past.
