Lyrics
Ain't it funny how the years go by
Acknowledging the passage of time and its impact.
Now I'm just another memory
Reflecting on the speaker's status as a past memory for someone else.
And how you said you hate goodbyes
Recalling the aversion to goodbyes expressed by the other person.
Either way you were the first to leave
Highlighting that, regardless, the other person was the first to leave.
I guess it never meant a thing
Suggesting that the past relationship may not have had significant meaning.
All those promises you gave to me
Referencing unfulfilled promises made by the other person.
Ever after what's the point of that
Questioning the purpose of a "happily ever after" scenario.
When i'll never live it happily
Expressing doubt about experiencing happiness without the person.
Now that you're out of reach
Noting the person's current unattainability.
Everyday feels like a nightmare, don't know how I
Describing the speaker's current emotional state as a continuous nightmare.
Am getting by with all these people tryna feed me lies
Highlighting the speaker's struggle with people deceiving them.
And for a while, invested all I had in you and I
Recalling a period of significant emotional investment in the other person.
You ran away, stole my everything to watch me die
Expressing the pain of the other person leaving and causing the speaker's suffering.
Oh
An exclamation emphasizing the intensity of emotion.
Waitin' on your phone call
Waiting for communication from the other person.
Thought you'd come back, what did I know
Realizing that the expected return may not happen.
Breathing but nothing's alright now
Expressing a state of distress despite being alive.
Cryin' it out until I choke
Describing a cathartic release through crying.
Never felt so alone as I do tonight
Feeling an extreme sense of loneliness in the present moment.
Guess you never had a heart, so you needed mine
Suggesting that the other person lacked empathy or care.
And I know why you waste your time
Offering an insight into why the other person wasted time.
Sitting all alone, in the bottom of your home
Describing the other person's solitude and attempts to escape.
Just tryna get away from the outside life
Trying to distance oneself from the external world.
'Cus you could never love just right
Implying that the other person struggled with expressing love.
Ain't it funny how the years go by
Reiterating the passage of time and its impact on the speaker.
Now I'm just another memory
Repeating the idea of being a fading memory for the other person.
And how you said you hate goodbyes
Revisiting the dislike for goodbyes expressed by the other person.
Either way you were the first to leave
Reemphasizing that the other person initiated the departure.
I guess it never meant a thing
Reiterating the potential lack of significance in the past relationship.
All those promises you gave to me
Recalling unfulfilled promises made by the other person.
Ever after what's the point of that
Questioning the purpose of a happy ending when it seems unattainable.
When i'll never live it happily
Expressing skepticism about ever achieving happiness without the other person.
Now that you're out of reach
Concluding with the acknowledgment of the other person's unreachability.
