SPF 50: Break Free from Toxic Love
Lyrics
He bought you roses
Expressing a gesture of affection with the gift of roses.
Doesn't tell you that he loves you but he shows it
Actions speak louder than words; he demonstrates love through deeds.
Right?
Seeking confirmation or agreement about the previous statement.
Tells you to post it
Encouraging you to share the gesture on social media to create a positive image.
So your mom thinks he's a good guy when he's broken
Projecting a positive image to others despite personal struggles.
Inside
Despite the external appearance, he is emotionally broken inside.
He says that you don't have to try
Asserting that you shouldn't make an effort in the relationship.
As long as you don't talk to other guys
Implying restrictions on interacting with other males.
So you excuse the lack of butterflies
Accepting the lack of excitement in the relationship.
Wasting all the best years of your life
Criticizing spending valuable time on a mediocre relationship.
On a boy who's just alright
Describing the romantic partner as just average.
There's no freedom trying to please him
Highlighting the absence of freedom in trying to please him.
If it feels like work it ain't gonna work out
Emphasizing that a relationship shouldn't feel like a job.
If you think you need a break then just clock out
Suggesting taking a break if the relationship becomes strenuous.
If you show up nine to five and you don't get paid on time
Connecting a lack of timely rewards to a hint about the relationship's health.
Well take it as a hint, don't wait it out
Advising not to wait and address issues promptly.
So braggadocious
Mocking arrogance; asking to be spared from such behavior.
He better miss you with that shit, give your notice
Suggesting ending the relationship with a formal notice.
Tell that "boy bye"
Advising to say goodbye to the partner who is not treating you right.
We're leaving town for the ocean tides
Expressing a desire to leave town for a better environment.
Cause if he wanted to, he'd treat you right
Stating that if he truly cared, he would treat you well.
Oh baby girl, open your eyes
Encouraging self-awareness and realization.
Stop treading hard in stagnant water
Discouraging efforts in a stagnant or unproductive relationship.
If it feels like work it ain't gonna work out
Reiterating the idea that relationships shouldn't feel like work.
If you think you need a break then just clock out
Emphasizing the importance of taking breaks when needed.
If you show up nine to five and you don't get paid on time
Connecting work-related metaphors to the importance of timely reciprocity.
Then take it as a hint, don't wait it out
Advising not to endure delays but to act upon hints.
Sounds to me like you need a vacation
Suggesting a need for a break or escape from the current situation.
Just remember this life's what you make it
Encouraging the realization that life's quality depends on individual choices.
He feels like shade in the summer, but you like it hotter
Comparing the partner to an uncomfortable presence in summer.
C'mon baby let's find you some deeper water
Proposing to explore deeper, more fulfilling experiences.
Sounds to me like you need a vacation
Reiterating the need for a break or escape.
Oh that boy, yeah, he's just a frustration
Labeling the partner as a source of frustration.
Don't text him when you're coca cola tipsy
Advising against contacting the partner while under the influence.
If you're the sun, that boy's SPF 50
Comparing the partner's protection level to SPF 50 sunscreen.
If it feels like work it ain't gonna work out
Reiterating that relationships shouldn't feel like work.
If you think you need a break then just clock out
Emphasizing the importance of breaks in challenging situations.
If you show up nine to five and you don't get paid on time

Well it's not gonna change, don't wait it out
Warning that delaying a change won't lead to improvement.
