Lyrics
Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself
Maybe the person is not open about sharing personal details.
But you shoulda told me that you were thinkin' 'bout someone else
The speaker feels betrayed because the person didn't communicate their thoughts about someone else.
You're drunk at a party or maybe it's just that your car broke down
The person might be in distress, possibly due to a car breakdown or being stranded at a party while intoxicated.
Your phone's been off for a couple months, so you're calling me now
The person's lack of communication led to a breakup, and now they are reaching out after a period of silence.
I know you, you're like this
The person has a pattern of seeking help when things go wrong.
When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it
The speaker was always there to fix problems, but they can't anymore.
And like me, I did
Despite the speaker's efforts, the relationship couldn't be sustained.
But I ran out of every reason
The speaker ran out of reasons to continue the relationship.
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
The person is now asking for the relationship back, which surprises the speaker.
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
The speaker questions the audacity of the person to make such a request.
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
The person claims to miss the past, but the speaker is indifferent to their pain.
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
The speaker doesn't care about the person's emotional distress caused by the breakup.
When you broke me first
The emotional pain caused by the person breaking the speaker comes to the forefront.
You broke me first
Reiteration of the emotional impact of being broken by the person.
Took a while, was in denial when I first heard
The speaker initially denies the reality of the person moving on quickly.
That you moved on quicker than I could've ever, you know that hurt
The revelation that the person has moved on faster than expected is emotionally painful for the speaker.
Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name
The speaker used to wait for the person's messages, but now that they come, the speaker is unsure how to respond.
But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say
Confusion and inability to express emotions now that the person is back in the speaker's life.
I know you, you're like this
Reiteration of the person's pattern of seeking help in tough situations.
When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it
The speaker used to fix things for the person, but they can't anymore.
And like me, I did
Despite the speaker's efforts, the relationship couldn't be sustained.
But I ran out of every reason
The speaker ran out of reasons to continue the relationship.
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
The person is again asking for the relationship, creating a sense of déjà vu for the speaker.
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
