Lyrics
I can't help myself I put it down on paper
The singer compulsively expresses their emotions on paper.
All the different stages, memories of us
Reflections on various stages and memories shared with someone.
That's the only way I know that I can shake it
Writing becomes a coping mechanism to deal with emotions.
Writing all our pages, every single thought
The process involves documenting every thought about the person.
I know you don't like when I'm nostalgic
The subject dislikes the singer's nostalgic expressions.
No you've never tried to understand
The subject hasn't made an effort to understand the singer's perspective.
Say you're doing fine, don't think about it
The subject claims to be fine and avoids thinking about the past.
Like I do
The singer, unlike the subject, dwells on past memories.
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
Apology for consistently creating songs about the subject.
I know that you hate that I got more to say
Acknowledges that the subject dislikes the continuous expression.
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
Despite the subject's feelings, the singer feels compelled to continue.
But I had to, oh, I had to
The singer emphasizes the necessity of expressing these feelings.
Swear no one will know that every moment was true
Assurance that the sincerity of every shared moment won't be revealed.
All the mistakes and why you ran away
Reflects on past mistakes and the reason for the subject's departure.
Sorry for writing all the songs about you
Reiterates the singer's compulsion to write songs about the subject.
But I had to, oh, I had to
The singer believes it's necessary despite the subject's dislike.
I can't wait for you to recognize the stories
Anticipation for the subject to acknowledge the shared stories.
Like when you said you loved me or that time on the rooftop
Recollection of moments, like rooftop confessions, that need recognition.
Will you act as if you haven't even heard it
Wondering if the subject will act oblivious to the shared experiences.
Nothing of it really matters
Downplays the significance of those memories.
'Cause I know you don't like when I'm nostalgic
Reiteration of the subject's aversion to the singer's nostalgic tendencies.
Go back to the start to get an end
Suggests going back to the beginning to find closure.
Say you're doing fine, don't think about it
Encourages the subject to claim they are fine and move on.
Like I do
The singer, in contrast, struggles to move on from the past.
