Tough Luck Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you tired? I can tell that you’re tired
Your eyes turn gray, you beg me to be silent
You said I can’t read your mind
But I’m reading it just fine
You think you’re so misunderstood
The black cat of your neighborhood
[Chorus]
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
I’ll break it first, I’ve had enough
Of waiting ’til you lie and cheat
Just like you did to the actress before me
Oops, she doesn’t even know
You won’t be missed, I’m glad to see you go
[Post-Chorus]
Tough luck, tough luck
[Verse 2]
Since we’re spilling secrets
Does your mother even know? (Mother even know)
You demoralized, effaced me
Just to feed your frail ego (Oh)
When you’re screaming at the TV
Cussing out opposing football teams
You said I’d never understand
The things that make a man a man
[Chorus]
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
I’ll break it first, I’ve had enough
Of waiting ’til you lie and cheat
Just like you did to the actress before me
Oops, she doesn’t even know
You won’t be missed, I’m glad to see you
[Bridge]
I should congratulate thee
For so nearly convincing me
I’m not quite as smart as I seem
That I’m a loudmouthed nobody
My accent and music are dumb
Your tattoos are no better, hun
The proof says you’re tragic as fu*k
The truth is that’s just tough, tough luck (Tough luck)
Tough, tough luck (Tough luck)
Tough, tough luck (Tough, tough luck)
(Tough, tough luck)
[Chorus]
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
I’ll break it first, I’ve had enough
Of waiting ’til you lie and cheat
Just like you did to the actress before me
Oops, she doesn’t even know
You won’t be missed, I’m glad to see you go

Tough Luck Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The girl is calling out the guy’s emotional distance. She can tell he’s drained and doesn’t want to talk, even though he pretends she doesn’t get what’s going on. But she does—she knows he’s feeling sorry for himself and thinks no one understands him. She compares him to a black cat, like he’s always playing the unlucky victim.
[Chorus]
She’s had enough of his games. She’s not going to wait around for him to cheat again like he did before. She’s choosing to end things before he can hurt her more. She even throws a bit of shade by saying the actress he cheated on before doesn’t know the full story either. She’s relieved he’s leaving and won’t miss him.
[Post-Chorus]
She’s just reinforcing that he’s out of luck now—tough break.
[Verse 2]
She’s digging deeper now, calling him out for treating her badly just to make himself feel better. She wonders if his mom even knows how he behaves. She brings up his aggressive side, like yelling at the TV during football, and mocks how he told her she’d never understand what it means to be a man—basically saying he hides behind toxic masculinity.
[Chorus]
Once again, she’s making it clear she’s done. She’s tired of waiting for the next lie or betrayal. She brings up his pattern of doing this to other women, showing it’s not a one-time mistake. She doesn’t care anymore—she’s ready to move on without him and isn’t looking back.
[Bridge]
She’s sarcastically praising him for almost making her believe his hurtful words—that she’s dumb, talentless, and unimportant. He tried to tear her down by mocking her accent, her music, everything about her. But she sees through it now. She flips it back on him, saying the real tragedy is him, and that the truth about him is harsh—just tough luck.
[Chorus]
She repeats her final message with confidence. His time is up, she’s breaking things off, and she won’t wait around to be hurt again. She’s pointing out how he repeats this behavior with other women and is unapologetic about letting him go. She’s over him and is glad he’s gone.
