I know the two of you used to talk like every day
And ever since I came around, it hasn’t been the same
You probably got a dart board with my face right in the middle
He sleeps in my bed, I met his parents, it’s official
Please don’t take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Don’t waste all your energy
We both know that he loves me
Oh honey, you deserve it
I know you’re gonna find somebody perfect
Please don’t take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
You’re so beautiful, it’s still hard for me to swallow
I used to get so jealous, I would stress-eat, drown my sorrows
In a bottle of vodka
And then I remembered
That he doesn’t want ya
No, he doesn’t want ya
Please don’t take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Don’t waste all your energy
We both know that he loves me
Oh honey, you, you deserve it
I know you’re gonna find somebody perfect
Please don’t take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Forever
Forever
Forever
Oh, forever
Forever
And ever
Please don’t take it personally
Understanding Heartbreak and Acceptance
“Don’t Take It Personally” by benny blanco explores the emotional complexities that arise when relationships change and new love blossoms. The song is narrated from the perspective of someone addressing their partner’s ex, acknowledging the awkwardness and even jealousy that can come with moving on. Rather than gloating, the narrator encourages empathy, urging the ex not to take the situation to heart. The repeated reassurance that “some things are just meant to be” highlights a mature acceptance of fate and circumstance, while also offering kindness and hope for the other person’s future happiness. The lyrics blend vulnerability with a touch of humor, creating an honest and relatable anthem about letting go and embracing new beginnings.
