Lyrics
Open up your eyes
Encouraging someone to be more aware or perceptive
There's nothing on my body left to see
Expressing vulnerability, suggesting there's nothing hidden or private anymore
I tried a thousand times
Repeated attempts to convey a message or emotion
I tried to say "I love you", but you didn't hear me
Unsuccessful efforts to express love, feeling unheard
And you're passive-aggressive
Describing someone with indirect and hostile behavior
Convinced me other people didn't care about me
Feeling manipulated into thinking others don't care
And you're passive-aggressive
Emphasizing the recurring nature of passive-aggressive behavior
You're passive-aggressive
-You're passive-aggressive
-And to think you would get me to the altar
Reflecting on the idea of commitment and marriage
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
Comparing the relationship to following blindly, without fulfillment
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
Suspecting a desire for control, wanting the person to be smaller in influence or stature
If you would have let me grow
Expressing potential growth if allowed
You could have kept my love
Suggesting love that could have been maintained through growth
Ode to my two thighs
Symbolic reference to self-image, wanting acceptance
I still want you to kiss 'em 'cause they're lonely
Expressing a desire for intimacy and acknowledgment of loneliness
And why are you so surprised?
Questioning surprise at expressing missing someone
And when I said "I miss you," you never believed me?
Highlighting disbelief in genuine feelings
And we were so depressive
Recalling a period of sadness and negativity
You and me together we were gemini feed
Describing a shared experience of emotional turmoil
And we were so depressive
Reiterating the intensity of depressive emotions
We were so depressive
-We were so depressive, hey
-And to think you would get me to the altar
Repeating themes of unfulfilled commitment, control, and lost love
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
-But admit it that you wanted me smaller
-If you would have let me grow
-You could have kept my love
-And to think you would get me to the altar
Continuation of the narrative, reinforcing missed opportunities
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
-But admit it that you wanted me smaller
-If you would have let me grow
-You could have kept my love
-And to think you would get me to the altar
Final repetition, emphasizing the potential loss of love due to control
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
-But admit it that you wanted me smaller
-If you would have let me grow
-You could have kept my love
