Lyrics
(Oh I tried baby)
Expressing effort and attempt in a relationship
Everybody wonders now
Speculating about the relationship's status
If you and me are messing round
Suspicions of infidelity or betrayal
Got pictures out and on the gram
Publicly sharing memories on social media
But you is just a stranger now
Feeling disconnected from a once-familiar person
And you and me are crossing paths
Encountering the person coincidentally
Remember when we used to laugh
Recalling past moments of joy
Got pictures of you on my phone
Keeping visual reminders on the phone
But I'm just gonna go ahead and delete all them
Deciding to delete memories for closure
No longer my queen darlin
Acknowledging the end of a special relationship
Why don't you need me darling
Expressing a sense of being unneeded
I wish you needed me darling yeah
Desiring to be needed by the other person
(Do, da-da dada da-dada da-do)
Repeating vocalizations without specific meaning
(Da-da dada da-dada da-do)
-(Da-da dada da-dada da-do)
-(Da-da-do)
-And I tried so hard
Effort to resist the attraction or charm
To stay away from your charm
Struggling to stay away from the allure
Left alone in the dark
Feeling abandoned and isolated
In the end, you still hold my heart
Despite separation, the person still holds emotional significance
(Still hold my heart)
Emphasizing the enduring emotional connection
(She still holds my heart)
-(My heart my heart my heart)
-Everybody wonders now
Repetition of earlier themes and actions
If you and me are messing round
-Got pictures out and on the gram
-But you is just a stranger now
-And you and me are crossing paths
-Remember when we used to laugh
-Got pictures of you on my phone
-But I'm just gonna go ahead and delete all them
-No longer my queen darlin
Reiterating the acceptance of the relationship's end
Why don't you need me darling
-I wish you needed me darling yeah
-Ain't nobody wonder now
Reflecting on the aftermath of separation
If you and me are messing round
-Got no pictures on the gram
-And you is just a stranger now
-And you and me are in the past
-Don't remember all our laughs
-Got no pictures on my phone
-Because I went down and deleted all them
-You no longer my queen darling
Acknowledging the end of significant dreams
No longer my dream darling
-I'm just doing me darling yeah
-(And I tried so hard)
Revisiting the struggle to resist and the resulting heartbreak
(To stay away from your charm)
-(Left alone in the dark)
-(In the end, you still broke my heart)
-(You still broke my heart)
-(You still broke my heart, heart, heart)
-(No longer my queen darling)
-(Yeah)
