Yesterday I was

Sitting here with a friend

We talked about

When I left you

Quite a while ago

Still waited too long

We talked about

Your soul and your strength

How you viewed it then

How you behaved

No, for you there was

Never anyone good enough

You were the most special

Never did anything wrong

With my eyes closed

I watched it again

How I was a girl back then

You were a terrible dream

I'd told myself

And promised myself

That it was finished

Gone with the grief

And I'd forget it

But I can't again

'Cause the pain stays

It's deeper than that

I'd kill

So I'd forget your words

'Cause that sh*tty feeling that

Started back then

Will never go away

And you caused that

Yesterday there came

A realization

You pushed everyone

Far away from me

And the things you

Said to me

That friends hated me

But you loved me

Your remarks were

Pretty much insane

Especially after a drink

Then you'd flip out

Easy to say now

I should've left

But I'd still have liked

To do so much differently

How I was a girl back then

You were a terrible dream

I'd told myself

And promised myself

That it was finished

Gone with the grief

And I'd forget it

But I can't again

'Cause the pain stays

It's deeper than that

I'd kill

So I'd forget your words

'Cause that sh*tty feeling that

Started back then

Will never go away

And you caused that

You damaged me

With the hurt from your boozed-up deeds

And that's how you left me

Seems sick, are you aware of that

You damaged me

With the hurt from your boozed-up deeds

And that's how you left me

Seems sick, are you aware of that

How I was a girl back then

You were a terrible dream

I'd told myself

And promised myself

That it was finished

Gone with the grief

And I'd forget it

But I can't again

'Cause the pain stays

It's deeper than that

I'd kill

So I'd forget your words

'Cause that sh*tty feeling that

Started back then

Will never go away

And you caused that

SONG MEANING

Heads up: this is a breakup song with bite, not roses and rainbows.

In “Dat Heb Jij Gedaan” (English: “You Did This”), Dutch artist MEAU looks back on a toxic relationship and follows the emotional breadcrumbs that still lead to pain today. She remembers how her ex isolated her from friends, played mind games, and turned cruel whenever alcohol kicked in. The verses capture the shock of realizing that someone you once admired was actually chipping away at your self-worth, and the chorus drives home the verdict: every lingering scar can be traced straight back to him. The music sounds gentle and dreamy, which makes the blunt, no-filter lyrics hit even harder.

The song works like a diary entry set to a catchy melody—equal parts confession, accusation, and catharsis. MEAU’s storytelling turns private hurt into a relatable anthem, showing listeners that naming the problem is the first step toward healing.
