Lyrics

You're blaming all your problems on me

You're attributing all your problems to me

But for some reason, you're here

Despite that, you are present or involved in some way

I know you don't care about my pleas

I recognize that you don't care about my requests

But I still can't disappear

Despite this, I cannot completely vanish or move on

My hands are shaking

I am feeling anxious or nervous

The earth is quaking

A metaphorical expression of a disturbance or turmoil

My heart is breaking now

My heart is currently experiencing emotional pain

Stop saying that you lost my number

Stop using the excuse that you lost contact with me to hide your falsehoods

As a cover to your lies

Implying deception and dishonesty in the breakup

We broke up one day in December

We ended our relationship in December, but the emotional connections persist

But they're still so many ties

There are lingering emotional attachments

My hands are shaking

Reiteration of emotional distress

The earth is quaking

Continuation of emotional turmoil

My heart's awakened now

My heart is now fully awake and responsive

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

Expressing a desire to keep the breakup uncomplicated and straightforward

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

All the highs and lows

Reflection on the ups and downs of the relationship

Should I stay or go?

Contemplation on whether to stay in the relationship or move on

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

Repetition of the wish for a simple and uncomplicated resolution

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

How did it get so complicated

Expressing confusion and frustration about how the relationship became complicated

You're unhappy as can be

Noting the unhappiness of the other person

24/7 I'm frustrated

Feeling frustrated all the time

All I want is to be free

Expressing a desire for freedom

My hands are shaking

Reiteration of emotional turmoil and the perceived wastefulness of love

The earth is quaking

-

Our love is wasted

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

Repetition of the desire for a simple resolution and not wanting the person back

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

All the highs and lows

-

Should I stay or go?

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

Simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

-

I don't want you back I wish it was simple as that

Final reiteration of the desire for a simple resolution and not wanting the person back
