Unveiling Heart's Confinement: Straight Jacket Revelations
Lyrics
Everybody knows that you let me go
Expressing that the speaker was let go by someone, and it is widely known.
I was really feeling myself
The speaker felt confident and positive about themselves.
I wish you were feeling me as well
Desiring reciprocated feelings from the other person.
(Everybody knows)
Reiteration of the public awareness of the speaker being let go.
Everybody knows everybody knows
Highlighting the mutual deception between the speaker and the other person.
Gotta do with you chose
-I was really fooling myself
-Yeah but you were really fooling me as well
