Background[]
The song title was first revealed by an insider. Not much else is known about the song other and it's not registered anywhere.
Theme[]
The theme is healing from a toxic relationship and looking forward to healthier love. It tells the story of someone who endured emotional neglect and unkind treatment in a past relationship. Despite the hurt, the narrator grows stronger and more self-aware. The breakup, while painful, becomes a turning point that leads to empowerment. Now, instead of mourning the past, she’s hopeful and excited for a future where she’ll be loved properly — by someone who treats her with respect, kindness, and care.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I was just a girl before you messed with me
Before you gave me all your doubts and insecurities
You were so cruel
In the name of being truthful
And every time I called you, I felt like I was
Just a burden, something boring and never enough
Yeah, you wouldn't
Even hold my hand in public
[Pre-Chorus]
And I could cry into a pillow, how could you do this to me?
And play back everything you said when you were leaving
Yeah, you probably think I'm missing you a lot
But honestly, I'm great
[Chorus]
And I can't wait to fall in love again
Yeah, I can't wait to meet a better man
'Cause I loved you so much and you weren't even nice
Just think about the way I'll feel when someone treats me right
I can't wait to fall in love again
No, I can't wait to fall in love again
[Verse 2]
And for about a week, I didn't leave my bed
When you left me, I thought nobody'd like me again
But that's stupid, you didn't know what you were losing
[Pre-Chorus]
And after all is said and done, I don't regret a thing
'Cause honestly, you taught me an important lesson
What once was only heartbreak and jealous little fights
Now a clean slate
[Chorus]
And I can't wait to fall in love again
No, I can't wait to meet a better man
'Cause I loved you so much and you weren't even nice
Just think about the way I'll feel when someone treats me right
I can't wait to fall in love again
Ooh-ooh, no, I can't wait to fall in love again
[Bridge]
With somebody better who's there through it all
Who cooks me dinner and returns my call
Because of you, I know just what I want
I know what love is and I know what it's not
And I want somebody better who does what he says
Who likes me with no ulterior motives
The next one's gonna be worth the wait
God, I'm so glad you didn't stay
[Chorus]
I can't wait to fall in love again
No, I can't wait to meet a better man
I loved you so much and you weren't even nice
Just think about the way I'll feel when someone treats me right
I can't wait to meet a better man
No, I can't wait to fall in love again
No, I can't wait to fall in love again
