Lyrics
You can pretend you don't miss me
You may act as if you don’t long for my presence
You can pretend you don't miss me
Reiteration of the idea that you can feign not missing me
You can pretend you don't miss me
Continued emphasis on the possibility of pretending not to miss me
You can pretend you don't care
You may act as if you don’t care
Everybody knows you and I are suicide and stolen art
It’s widely known that our relationship embodies self-destructive tendencies and feels like something valuable stolen or lost
Everybody knows you and I are suicide and stolen art
Repeated emphasis on the perception of the relationship as both self-destructive and akin to lost or stolen art
Where you going where you going without me
Questioning where you’re headed without me
Girl who you with who you with if it ain't me
Asking who you’re associating with if it’s not me
This obsession that we got is running deep
Describing the depth of the intense fixation or preoccupation between us
You're too concerned with things that really shouldn't be
Your focus is on matters that are not truly important
Feel like Adele we been rolling in the deep
Comparing the depth of emotions to Adele’s song “Rolling in the Deep”
I set fire with the tears you pour on me
Metaphorically setting ablaze due to the emotional pain caused by the tears you shed for me
I seen your shadows now you're trynna run from me
Having observed your hidden, darker sides and now seeing attempts to distance yourself
Said I won't let you breathe but you won't let me leave
Stating that while you won’t allow me space, you also won’t allow yourself to let go
Said I ain't been around I ain't been around lately
Acknowledging absence, suggesting a lack of recent presence
But you been rolling loud and I been seeing sounds baby
You’ve been involved in activities that make a lot of noise while I’ve been perceiving things differently
I can hear you call my name from outer space
Feeling a distant call or connection from you even in unreachable places
If you want my heart you can come and take it
If you desire my affection, you’re welcome to pursue it
Everybody knows you and I are way too close for broken hearts
It’s widely acknowledged that our connection is too intense for typical heartbreak
Everybody knows you and I are way too close for broken hearts
Reiteration of the idea that the relationship is too close to result in ordinary heartbreak
Everybody knows you and I are way too close for broken hearts
Repeated emphasis on the intensity of the relationship, suggesting it’s too intense for typical heartbreak
