500 Days Lyrics

I don't even think you knew you had it
But you stole from me
I ignored the signs out of bad habit
And that's all on me

I was already trapped
There was no turning back
I'm sure you've heard the story before

How you think you're in love
And in a second it's gone
But I don't need you anymore

And I wasted five hundred days
Two summers and a night in New York
Where everything went up in flames
A side I hadn't seen before
And I can still feel the Brooklyn rain
From our last night in New York
When everything went up in flames
I wasted five, five hundred days
Five hundred days

Five hundred days
I wasted five, five hundred days

I was dumb to think it was forever
But I was naive
To you, I probably could've been whoever
But that's not on me

I was already trapped, there was no turning back
I know you've heard the story before

How you think you're in love
And in a second it's gone
But I don't need you anymore

And I wasted five hundred days
Two summers and a night in New York
Where everything went up in flames
A side I hadn't seen before
And I can still feel the Brooklyn rain
From our last night in New York
When everything went up in flames
But I don't need you anymore

Five hundred days
Five hundred days
But I don't need you anymore
Five hundred days

Five hundred days
I wasted five, five hundred days

And I can still feel the Brooklyn rain
From our last night in New York (last night in New York)
When everything went up in flames (everything went up in flames)
I wasted five, five hundred days (five, five hundred days)
Five hundred days
(Five hundred days)
(Five hundred but I don't need you anymore)

What is the Meaning of 500 Days?

In this emotive track, the artist recounts the personal journey of realizing a relationship's illusionary nature over a span of 500 days. The lyrics poignantly capture the initial blindness to red flags due to infatuation, followed by the painful awakening as love dissipates into disillusionment. The reference to "two summers and a night in New York" symbolizes specific moments that encapsulate both the peak and eventual downfall of the relationship, highlighted by a transformative experience during a rainy night in Brooklyn. Ultimately, the song is an expression of regained strength and self-discovery post-heartbreak, emphasizing resilience and the liberation that comes from letting go of what no longer serves us emotionally.
