Phone call and a couple texts

Shared cigarette

You said I was the type to be too kind

I won't lie I've done my introspection
Admission of self-reflection and introspection.
Already knew i'd give you attention
Anticipation of giving attention, showing a willingness to invest in the relationship.
Every time and anytime you'll ask
Readiness to provide attention whenever requested by the other person.
And I know now it's not the same as it was
Acknowledgment that the current situation differs from the past.
Maybe I held on just a little past the time
Suggestion of holding onto the relationship beyond its prime.
To let you

Down down down

I hope that you'll never let me down

I can't say I'll never break

It's not a promise I made with myself
Clarification that there's no absolute promise to avoid breaking.
But I won't shy away, you're worth a try
Declaration that the person is worth taking a chance on.
I'm kinda trapped in this situation but
Feeling trapped but expressing acceptance of the situation.
I wouldn't change a thing I said
Affirmation of standing by previous statements and decisions.
Oh I let you in
Admission of allowing the other person into one's life.
And there's no looking back
Commitment to moving forward without regret.
And I know now it's not the same as it was
Recognition that the current state of the relationship has changed.
Maybe I held on just a little past the time
Hint at holding onto the relationship beyond its peak.
