Played Me
Played Me: Triumphing Amid Heartbreak
Lyrics
I can't believe you, how you gonna tell me what we had was love
I can't believe you, questioning the authenticity of the claimed love in the past relationship
(Had was love)
Reiterating the disbelief in the love that supposedly existed
You think I need you, that's funny
Expressing amusement at the idea that the person is still needed
Cause I remember telling you I don't
Recalling a previous statement of not needing the person, emphasizing independence
(You I don't)
Reiterating the lack of need for the person
It's like you're see through, yeah
Describing the person as transparent or easily understood
Cause I can see you're lying, oh
Asserting the ability to see through the person's lies
So Fed up with defiance, oh
Expressing frustration with continuous disobedience
Always fronting and denying
Noting the constant pretense and denial from the other person
I can't believe you, how you gonna tell me what we had was trust
Questioning the validity of trust claimed in the past relationship
(Was trust)
Reiterating the doubt about the trust that supposedly existed
So I pick up my guitar I'm a play it like she played me
Deciding to express emotions through playing the guitar, mirroring how she treated the singer
Liquor in my cup cause I know it can't betray me
Using liquor as a companion, recognizing it won't betray like the past relationship
I been up all night long celebrating
Celebrating the freedom and liberation from the ended relationship
Now that she's gone it's like I'm on vacation
Enjoying the newfound sense of freedom and relaxation after the breakup
And she can tell her friends how much she hates me
Acknowledging that the ex-partner may express hatred to friends
Im still picking up my phone to her calls on the daily
Continuing to answer the ex-partner's calls despite the breakup
I been up all night long , yeah
Emphasizing staying up all night as a response to the breakup
Imma play it like she played me
Reaffirming the intention to play emotions through the guitar, mirroring the ex-partner's actions
(Imma play it like)
Reiterating the determination to express emotions through music
Woahhh
Expression of emotion, possibly frustration or determination
Yeah Imma play it like
Repeating the intention to play emotions through music
Woahhh
Reiteration of the emotional expression through music
Right person, wrong time
Acknowledging that the connection was with the right person but at the wrong time
You don't know how many times I've said that and you're tripping, but it's fine
Addressing the difficulty of understanding the situation, accepting it nonetheless
You can't understand it when I say I tried
Explaining the effort invested in trying to make the relationship work
I'm a play it like she played me how could she blame me
Committing to expressing emotions through music, just as the ex-partner did
I was trying to get to the bag on a daily
Mentioning a focus on personal and financial growth on a daily basis
Knew she was tripping from the get go now she's tripping on my come up
Acknowledging early signs of trouble in the relationship and the ex-partner's regret
I can't get back all of the time I spent
Expressing the inability to retrieve lost time spent in the relationship
I've been held back trapped in my mind again
Reflecting on being mentally held back and trapped after the breakup
So I pick up my guitar I'm a play it like she played me
Repeating the decision to use music as an outlet for emotions
Liquor in my cup cause I know it can't betray me
Repeating the reliance on liquor for emotional support
I been up all night long celebrating
Reiterating the celebration of freedom and liberation post-breakup
Now that she's gone it's like I'm on vacation
Continuing to savor the newfound sense of relaxation after the relationship ends
And she can tell her friends how much she hates me
Acknowledging that the ex-partner may spread negativity about the singer
Im still picking up my phone to her calls on the daily
Continuing to answer calls from the ex-partner despite the breakup
I been up all night long, yeah
Emphasizing staying up all night as a response to the breakup
Imma play it like she played me
Reaffirming the intention to play emotions through the guitar, mirroring the ex-partner's actions
(Imma play it like)
Reiterating the determination to express emotions through music
Woah
Expression of emotion, possibly frustration or determination
Yeah Imma play it like
Repeating the intention to play emotions through music
Woah
Reiteration of the emotional expression through music
Yeah
