The song's narrator tells his significant others ex-boyfriend that it was his fault that she had left him and that it's too late to get her back. He states that they should have a conversation "man to man".
Critical reception
Rick Cohoon of Allmusic in his review, states that the lyrics are "harsh and realistic" but "maybe a bit too glib for Allan’s good." Cohoon states that "‘You want her back, and it’s too late/why don’t we call a spade a spade’ summarizes the song’s tone, but comes across as too abrasive." He states that the writing makes it seem like the situation could have happened to the writer, Jamie O'Hara.
