Lyrics
Once it was sugar, now there's too much spice
Once it was sweet and now it's intense and challenging.
Used to wrap me in your sweater, now you're cold as ice
Previously, you were warm and comforting, but now you're distant and cold.
And you think you're so much better, but you better think twice
You believe you're superior, but you should reconsider your attitude.
So I wrote you a letter to call it quits
Expressing the decision to end the relationship through a written letter.
Left it out on the counter packed all my shit
Packed belongings after leaving the breakup letter on the counter.
Wore the dress you hate with that skin tight fit
Wore a disliked dress with a tight fit, possibly to assert independence.
Dear Mister Possessive
Addressing the ex as "Mister Possessive."
You've been acting obsessive
Pointing out obsessive behavior and possessiveness.
Watching every step I take, every move I make
Highlighting constant monitoring of actions and movements.
Dear Mister Possessive
Emphasizing the value of the singer's time.
My time is expensive
Stating the singer won't waste time on the possessive partner anymore.
Done wasting it all on you, it's safe to say we're through
Confirming the end of the relationship and moving forward.
Now I'm in a new city, I bet you've moved on
Being in a new city suggests a fresh start after the breakup.
But it can't be long till you do her wrong
Anticipating the ex-partner repeating mistakes in a new relationship.
Won't be surprised when she sings along
Expecting the new partner to realize the possessiveness.
Dear Mister Possessive
Reiterating the title, addressing the ex as "Mister Possessive."
You've been acting obsessive
Continuing to point out obsessive and possessive behavior.
Watching every step I take, every move I make
Reiterating constant monitoring of actions and movements.
Dear Mister Possessive
Reemphasizing the singer's time as valuable.
My time is expensive
Reaffirming the decision to move on from the possessive partner.
Done wasting it all on you, it's safe to say we're through
Declaring the end of wasting time on the possessive partner.
Late at night, I still think of you
Expressing lingering thoughts about the ex-partner at night.
When the cold blows through my window
Feeling the chill, reminiscent of the ex-partner's hurtful words.
But the cold stings me, like your words used to do
Reflecting on how the emotional coldness resembles past verbal pain.
And I pull myself together and I remember you're
Pulling oneself together after recalling the possessive nature of the ex.
Mister Possessive
Addressing the ex again as "Mister Possessive."
You've been acting obsessive
Reiterating obsessive and possessive behavior.
Watching every step I take, every move I make
Continuing to emphasize constant monitoring of actions and movements.
Dear Mister Possessive
Reaffirming the value of the singer's time.
My time is expensive
Reiterating the decision to stop wasting time on the possessive partner.
Done wasting it all on you, it's safe to say we're through
Confirming the end of the relationship once again.
Dear Mister Possessive
Addressing the ex as "Mister Possessive" one more time.
You're so damn obsessive
Stressing the extreme nature of the ex-partner's obsessiveness.
Watching every step I take and every move I make
Repeating the theme of constant monitoring of actions and movements.
Dear Mister Possessive
Reiterating the value of the singer's time and decisively ending the relationship.
My time is expensive
Reaffirming the decision to stop wasting time on the possessive partner.
Done wasting it all on you-ooo we're through
Concluding that the relationship is over.
