Settle For Less
Unfulfilled Promises: Reflecting on Love's Betrayal
Lyrics
The party got started at twenty to nine
The party started at 8:40 PM.
And in this time apart
During the separation, the speaker remained confident.
Always knew id be fine
Despite the breakup, the speaker always believed they would be fine.
Thinking of the memories that play in my mind
Reflecting on memories that linger in the speaker's mind.
Should've listened to my friends at the warning signs
The speaker regrets not heeding warnings from friends.
Always thought that me and you did it right
The speaker believed their relationship was done correctly.
Now you could play pretend and say you weren't mine
Addressing the ex-partner's denial of the relationship.
Knowing it was you who couldn't decide
Acknowledging that the ex-partner struggled with commitment.
Wish I never settled for less
Expressing regret for settling for a less-than-ideal relationship.
Promised me your not like the rest
The ex-partner promised to be different from others.
Running around making a mess
Highlighting the ex-partner's reckless behavior.
Maybe it was all for the best
Suggesting that the breakup might have been for the best.
Wish I never settled for less
Reiterating regret for settling for less.
Promised me weren't like the rest
Recalling the ex-partner's unfulfilled promise.
Running around making a mess
Emphasizing the ex-partner's chaotic actions.
Maybe it was all for the best
Suggesting that the breakup might have been necessary.
Asked you not to break my heart
Expressing disappointment at the ex-partner breaking the speaker's heart.
Baby just look where we are?
Reflecting on the current state of the relationship.
I'm writing love songs of how you made me
Creating love songs inspired by the impact of the relationship.
Made me fall apart
Describing the emotional impact of the relationship.
Had my head filled with doubt
Feeling uncertain due to the ex-partner's actions.
Feels like you were chasing some clout
Suspecting the ex-partner sought attention or popularity.
it's easier when your not around
Expressing relief when the ex-partner is not present.
Maybe you just can't settle down
Suggesting the ex-partner may have commitment issues.
Wish I never settled for less
Regret for accepting a subpar relationship.
