Lyrics
(That's pretty)
Admiration or approval
I go over every word you said to me
Reflecting on and analyzing every word spoken
Every single syllable I could repeat
Paying close attention to each individual sound or detail
Certified to scuba dive in my memory
Highly skilled or qualified to delve deep into memories
Why didn't you tell me how you felt that day?
Questioning why feelings weren't communicated
How was I supposed to know? I can't mind read
Expressing inability to read minds
How was I supposed to see? I was underneath
Being unaware due to being preoccupied or overshadowed
Caught you swinging from the ceiling
Discovering someone in a distressed state
I thought that meant you were healing
Misinterpreting signs of recovery
Looking back I see the meaning
Realizing the significance in hindsight
I didn't notice the teething
Not recognizing initial stages of difficulty
Why didn't you say you need me?
Expressing the need for verbal acknowledgment
(Why don't you say what you need?)
Urging someone to communicate their needs openly
(I told you I'm sorry, I know you are)
Acknowledging apologies and mutual understanding
Shoot up right until you're drifting from your friends
Engaging in destructive behavior, distancing from connections
But you were the apple of both of my eyes
Considering someone exceptionally valuable
So I couldn't see the signs, baby, I was blind (blinded)
Being oblivious due to strong emotions
Miss being self-conscious what you left in me
Longing for a previous state of self-awareness
Said it was embarrassing, but secretly
Privately finding value in something publicly ridiculed
It made me feel special when I saw you smile 'cause of me
Finding personal validation in someone else's happiness
Caught you swinging from the ceiling
Observing someone in distress again
I thought that meant you were healing
Repeating the misconception of recovery
Looking back, I see the meaning wish I asked more
Regret for not inquiring further into the situation
I didn't notice the teething
Not perceiving initial difficulties
Why didn't you say you need me?
Reiterating the desire for verbal affirmation
(Why don't you say what you need?)
Encouraging open communication of needs
(I told you I'm sorry)
Repeating apologies and attempts at understanding
I don't need my love, I don't need my
Declaring independence from one's own love
I don't, I don't anymore
Rejecting the need for something previously given
(I gave you something, I understand)
Understanding the significance of a gesture or action
(I understand, that can't mean nothing)
Recognizing the value of an action or offering
(Oh, anymore)
Expressing detachment or disinterest
(Anymore, you)
Reiterating detachment or disinterest towards someone
(Oh, anymore)
Repeating detachment or disinterest
(Anymore, you)
Reiterating detachment or disinterest towards someone
(Oh, anymore)
Repeating detachment or disinterest
(Anymore)
Reiterating detachment or disinterest towards someone
