Cheers To Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So I’ll spell it for you slowly
Are you ever really lonely?
Ask yourself what that word truly means
There’s a light, comes every morning
Weather clouds are there to spoil it
Ask yourself what’s really happening
[Chorus]
When you’re a sucker for a skinny mother fucker
I love ’em hard while they’re texting another
And I’m fine, but babe, it’s still true
The worst idea I had was you
How many trains can I cry on in a lifetime?
I swim deep, don’t keep an eye on the shoreline
Worked hard, but babe, it’s still true
The worst idea I had was you
[Post-Chorus]
The worst idea I had, the worst idea I had
The worst idea I had was you
[Verse 2]
So you lay down with your palms out
Turn your head from reasonable doubt
Lying to yourself works every time
Do you really want a lover
Or a reason not to bother
With the dreams and goals you once had for your life?
[Chorus]
When you’re a sucker for a skinny mother fucker
I love ’em hard while they’re texting another
And I’m fine, but babe, it’s still true
The worst idea I had was you
How many trains can I cry on in a lifetime?
I swim deep, don’t keep an eye on the shoreline
Worked hard, but babe, it’s still true
The worst idea I had was you
[Post-Chorus]
The worst idea I had
The worst idea I had ever was you
The worst idea I had was you
[Bridge]
Now let’s toast each and every fucker that made me this way
Cheers to you, but mostly cheers to me!
Yeah, let’s toast each and every fucker that made me this way
Cheers to you, but mostly cheers to me!
[Chorus]
When you’re a sucker for a skinny mother fucker
I love ’em hard while they’re texting another
And I’m fine, but babe, it’s still true
The worst idea I had was you
How many trains can I cry on in a lifetime
I swim deep, don’t keep an eye on the shoreline
Worked hard, but babe, it’s still true
The worst idea I had was you
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Cheers To Me Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: So I’ll spell it for you slowly]
In the first verse, Self Esteem questions the meaning of loneliness and examines how people often misunderstand or misinterpret their emotions. The lyrics highlight the difficulty in truly understanding one’s feelings, even when they seem obvious on the surface. The reference to “a light, comes every morning” implies that despite life’s challenges, there is always hope or new beginnings—but only if we question what’s really going on around us.
[Chorus: When you’re a sucker for a skinny mother fucker]
The chorus shifts to a more personal perspective, where Self Esteem critiques her own choices in relationships. The protagonist acknowledges the repeated cycle of being drawn to someone who doesn’t give back the same emotional commitment. Despite recognizing this toxic pattern, there is still an underlying sense of resignation. The line “The worst idea I had was you” suggests regret, acknowledging that the relationship was ultimately a mistake, but also showing a sense of personal accountability for having chosen it.
[Post-Chorus: The worst idea I had]
The post-chorus echoes the regret and frustration with the previous choices in love, reinforcing the central theme of self-reflection and the repeated acknowledgment of the same painful mistake. It emphasizes the emotional toll that comes from repeated disappointment, while also highlighting how those moments continue to shape the protagonist’s self-awareness.
[Verse 2: So you lay down with your palms out]
In the second verse, the protagonist reflects on the pattern of self-deception that people often engage in to avoid facing the truth. “Lying to yourself works every time” suggests that denial is a comfort, but it is ultimately unsustainable. This verse explores the internal struggle between wanting a genuine connection and the fear of confronting the harsh reality that the love is not fulfilling.
[Chorus: When you’re a sucker for a skinny mother fucker]
The chorus repeats, driving home the emotional pattern of loving someone who doesn’t fully reciprocate. The protagonist expresses frustration and vulnerability, acknowledging that even though they recognize the mistakes, they remain stuck in the same emotional cycle. This section mirrors the earlier chorus, reinforcing the cyclical nature of toxic relationships.
[Post-Chorus: The worst idea I had]
The repeated post-chorus continues to underline the regret and emotional toll that the relationship has taken. This repetition intensifies the feeling of emotional weight and reinforces the impact of the decisions that led to the disappointment.
[Bridge: Now let’s toast each and every fucker that made me this way]
The bridge marks a shift in tone, offering a sarcastic and empowering twist. Self Esteem raises a “toast” to all the people who contributed to her emotional state, simultaneously blaming others for her pain and celebrating her growth from those experiences. The repeated “cheers to me” highlights a self-congratulatory acknowledgment of surviving these hardships and finding strength in the process.
[Chorus: When you’re a sucker for a skinny mother fucker]
The final chorus brings the song full circle, as Self Esteem reflects once again on her emotional turmoil and the self-destructive tendencies that come from loving the wrong person. The repetition of the phrase “The worst idea I had was you” indicates that, despite the catharsis, the relationship remains a painful memory, but also a lesson learned.
[Outro: Yeah]
The outro serves as a final emotional release, with the repetition of “Yeah” marking a sense of resignation and finality. It feels like a moment of acceptance, where Self Esteem has come to terms with her past mistakes and is ready to move forward, empowered by the lessons learned.
