Lyrics
I know it's not me it's you
I acknowledge that the issue is not with me but with you.
But I'm stuck in shades of blue
I feel trapped and consumed by sadness.
Since you left me
Since you departed from my life.
All of the things we've been through
Reflecting on the shared experiences and memories.
Planning our future and view
We made plans for our future and shared perspectives.
Then you left me
You left me despite those plans.
Roses full of thorns oh that you gave
Roses you gave symbolize beauty with pain (thorns).
Beautiful but also full of pain
Contrasting beauty with the pain in the relationship.
Never your intention to only take
Your actions weren't meant to be hurtful, but they were.
Babe
An affectionate term, possibly expressing frustration.
Lovings a choice you make
Loving is a conscious decision, echoing advice from mom.
Thats what your momma would say
The speaker understands but still feels the same.
I shouldn't but I feel the same
Conflicted emotions about still needing the person.
Cuz I'm still needin'
Expressing the ongoing need for the person.
Selfishly I wished you stayed
Selfish desire for the person to have stayed.
Lose myself without your praise
Feeling incomplete without the admiration of the person.
Is this the only way
Questioning if separation is the only solution.
I'm still needin'
Despite everything, the speaker still needs the person.
So fuck all of this love shit
Rejecting the idea of love and its complications.
And baby don't
Requesting not to be contacted when loneliness strikes.
Call me every time you can't be alone
Choosing personal space over dependence on the person.
Putting off myself
Putting personal needs aside for physical pleasure.
For some dick and nothing else
Acknowledging the wrongness of reaching out to the person.
I shouldn't be hitting you up babe I know
Acknowledging the negative consequences of seeking connection.
The shadows of our passions start to show
The effects of past passions and experiences resurface.
Cracks and divides
Relationship cracks and divisions become apparent.
Though I stayed by your side
Despite issues, the speaker remained loyal.
I wished that you would've learned
Regret that the person didn't learn from mistakes.
Lovings a choice you make
Reiteration that love is a conscious decision.
Thats what your momma would say
Recalling maternal advice on love.
I shouldn't but I feel the same
Despite understanding, the speaker feels the same.
Cuz I'm still needin'
Continued need for the person despite understanding.
Selfishly I wished you stayed
Selfish desire for the person to have stayed.
Lose myself without your praise
Feeling incomplete without the admiration of the person.
Is this the only way
Questioning if separation is the only solution.
I'm still needin'
Despite everything, the speaker still needs the person.
And I wish that I could stop
Expressing a desire to stop missing the person.
Missing you oh and your touch
Longing for the person and their touch.
Drifting through the wind
Drifting through life without the person.
Laying skin to skin
Describing intimate moments skin to skin.
Heart will always start to mend
Believing the heart will eventually heal.
Despite the way you let things end
Despite a painful ending, the heart will mend.
And you a bitch for that
Expressing frustration or anger towards the person.
Lovings a choice that you make
Reiterating that love is a conscious decision.
Thats what your momma would say
Recalling maternal advice on love.
Selfishly I wish you stayed
Selfishly wishing the person had stayed.
Lose myself without your praise
Feeling incomplete without the admiration of the person.
