Lyrics
She texted there was somethin' wrong
Receiving a message indicating something is wrong
I was lyin'?
Questioning if the sender thinks he's lying
I don't wanna do that anymore
Expressing a desire to avoid dishonesty in the relationship
You don't tell me what to do
Asserting independence and resistance to being controlled
Really
Emphasizing the sincerity of the statement
Playin' house not okay even though we got room for each other (ooh)
Rejecting the concept of playing house despite having space for each other
Try to build and it feels like we managed to hurt one another
Attempting to build a life together but causing harm in the process
(All the time) that we spend workin' on our foundation
Reflecting on time spent working on the relationship's foundation
Jugglin' our new relation
Mentioning the challenges of managing a new relationship
It's like we need a reno', it's like we need a renovation
Expressing the need for a renewal or renovation in the relationship
Convos go in circles lately (ooh)
Noting that conversations are repetitive or unproductive lately
Believin' that you really hate me (ooh)
Feeling the belief that the partner genuinely dislikes or hates
Miscommunication leads to separation
Linking miscommunication to separation in the relationship
Damn
Expressing frustration or disappointment
So no more playin' house
Deciding to stop pretending to play house
No more thinkin' 'bout livin' together
Rejecting thoughts of living together
Just worry about doin' better now
Focusing on personal improvement instead of shared living
So no more playin' house
Reiterating the decision to stop playing house
No more thinkin' 'bout livin' together
Emphasizing the need to prioritize personal growth
Let's worry about doin' better now
Encouraging a focus on improvement
No more playin'
Repeating the rejection of playing house
No, no more, oh
Further emphasis on ending the pretense
Oh, no more playin'
Continuing to reject the idea of playing house
Playin' house not okay even when you found the perfect lover (ooh)
Declaring playing house unacceptable even with a perfect partner
Overfill and we manage to spill what we have goin' under
Experiencing overflow and spillage in the relationship
(All the time) that we spend lookin' for a revelation
Searching for a revelation to improve the situation
Waitin' on some confirmation (waitin' for)
Waiting for confirmation and clarity
We in it, then we out (out)
Noting inconsistency in commitment, in and out of the relationship
How you call that dedication? (How you call it?)
Questioning the dedication of the partner
Feel like it's on purpose lately (mm)
Feeling that the partner's actions are intentional
I'm actin' like this shit don't faze me (ooh)
Indicating a nonchalant response to challenging situations
Miscommunication fuckin' up the vibration
Attributing disrupted harmony to miscommunication
So no more playin' house
Reiterating the decision to stop playing house
No more thinkin' 'bout livin' together
Rejecting the idea of living together
Just worry about doin' better now
Emphasizing the importance of personal improvement
No more playin'
Repeating the rejection of playing house
No more playin'
Reiterating the decision to stop pretending
I've been livin' out of this suitcase for way too long
Expressing a prolonged period of living transiently
Sellin' my coat and smokin' my last
Facing financial challenges and using coping mechanisms
I promise not to look into your past, no
Promising not to dwell on the partner's past
Now I can say that I'm stronger
Claiming personal strength and growth
At least now I can admit that I was wrong and
Admitting past mistakes and accepting them
Won't hold it against myself
Choosing not to hold past mistakes against oneself
Won't hold it
Declaring an intention not to harbor self-blame
