Discover the story of the song > When the Party’s Over – Lewis Capaldi

The protagonist knows he's not good for his partner, and he's already lost her before. He tries to stop her from leaving, but she always does. When he's alone and coming home, he pretends he likes it that way. He tells his partner to call him a friend but keep him close, and he'll call her when the party's over. Sometimes it's better to say goodbye and let go, and he wants to let his partner go. When he's coming home alone, he's quiet, and he could lie and say he likes it, even though he doesn't.
