Lyrics

I can’t see the light cause I been stuck behind you for the longest time

I feel emotionally trapped and unable to see a positive outlook because of a prolonged connection with someone.

If you think I’ll keep on coming back then you don’t understand what I have been feeling inside

If you believe I'll continue returning, you misunderstand the internal struggles and emotions I've been experiencing.

Maybe if I gave another chance and change up all my plans I could savor you for one last night

Considering giving another chance, altering plans for a final night, but recognizing the relationship's time has run out.

Yeah But I swear to fucking god our loves a lost cause and I have used up all my time

Expressing frustration that the love is beyond repair, having exhausted all opportunities.

Interjection expressing strong emotion.

I can’t stay high

Unable to maintain a positive emotional state.

you bring me down

Feeling brought down by the person in question.

you bring me down

Reiterating the negative emotional impact of the relationship.

I can’t see the light cause I been stuck behind you for the longest time

Similar to line 1, emphasizing the feeling of being stuck and unable to see a brighter future.

If you think I’ll keep on coming back then you don’t understand what I have been feeling inside

Repeating the sentiment that returning is not a result of understanding the internal struggles.

Even all my stupid fucking friends would never recommend that I keep you a part of my life

Even friends advise against keeping the person in their life, emphasizing a toxic relationship.

Our love is up in smoke and I would rather choke than catch another second hand high

Metaphorically describing the love as dissipating, expressing a preference for ending it rather than enduring more pain.

The devil wears Prada that bitch wears Saint Laurent and how she got it hell if I’ll ever know

Describing the person using luxury brand references, highlighting mystery and allure.

Yeah and her perfume is marijuana it’s stronger than I can handle take a couple hits and can’t feel my toes

Describing the person's perfume as potent, leading to a loss of control and sensation.

I never claim to be the life of the party and if you thought that I’m sorry but I would rather stay home

Acknowledging a preference for a quieter lifestyle, apologizing if this disappoints others.

21 and mostly sober but fuck it I’m working over time so one day I can be on my own

Despite being young and mostly sober, working hard for independence.

woah

Interjection expressing strong emotion.

I don’t need love

Declaring a current lack of need for love.

At least right now

Reiterating the current disinterest in love until a personal discovery is made.

Until I’m found

Expressing a desire to be found or understood eventually.

But

Transitioning to a repeated section emphasizing feeling stuck and misunderstood.

I can’t see the light cause I been stuck behind you for the longest time

Reiterating the sense of being stuck behind and unable to see a positive future.

If you think I’ll keep on coming back then you don’t understand what I have been feeling inside

Repeating the idea that returning is not a result of understanding the internal struggles.

Even all my stupid fucking friends would never recommend that I keep you a part of my life

Reiterating friends' advice against keeping the person in their life, emphasizing a toxic relationship.

Our love is up in smoke and I would rather choke than catch another Second hand high

Repeating the metaphor of love dissipating and expressing a preference for ending it.

Woah

Interjection expressing strong emotion.

Woah

Maybe if I gave another chance and change up all my plans I could savor you for one last night

Reiterating the sense of being stuck and unable to see a positive future.
