Lyrics
I don’t wanna lie
The speaker doesn't want to deceive.
So I say you still on my mind, yea
They acknowledge that the person is still in their thoughts.
I’m still willing to try
Expressing willingness to keep attempting.
When I gave you my all, now my heart’s all empty
Despite giving their all, they feel emotionally drained now.
Will I leave you alone
Contemplating whether to leave the person alone.
Or will I keep pursuing
Considering whether to continue pursuing the relationship.
Now i’m stuck in the zone
Feeling trapped in a mental state where they doubt their self-worth.
Where I think I ain’t worth loving
Believing they're undeserving of love.
Not gonna lie
Reaffirming the refusal to deceive.
Not gonna, gonna lie
Emphasizing the commitment not to lie.
Can’t be tired of life
Even in moments of exhaustion, they can't give up because the person matters.
When you’re the only one that’s not right
Implying the person is the issue causing distress.
Not gonna lie
Repeatedly emphasizing the commitment not to lie.
Not gonna, gonna lie
Continued emphasis on honesty.
You and the haters alike
Equating the person and the haters as sources of criticism and negativity.
Put me down tell me it ain’t my time
Being put down by both the person and haters, feeling it's not their time.
But now that i’ve waited
After waiting, things have finally started working out.
Things really worked out
Now the other person seems to be the one struggling.
Now you’re the one who’s crazy
Implying the other person is struggling emotionally.
You’re the one who’s downMaybe this time we’ll make it right, I
Expressing hope for a chance to make things right this time.
Don’t wanna confuse you
Desiring clarity, not wanting to cause confusion.
I know I did something wrong too
Admitting fault but urging the other person not to pretend innocence.
But boy, don’t act too innocent
Asserting that in the previous argument, they were the victim.
Last month’s fight, I was the victim
Requesting honesty despite the nature of the truth.
Give me all the truth
Asking for kindness but also accepting rudeness.
Be nice, and kind, and be rude
Committing to accept the other person for who they are.
I’ll still accept you for you
Encouraging the other person to reciprocate the acceptance.
Why can’t you do the same too?
Expressing love despite the other's repeated mistakes.
Love you and your thousand mistakes
Even when forgiveness is sought, the speaker still loves.
Even when you ask for forgiveness
When the speaker is at their lowest, the other's lack of support is felt.
But when I end up on that place
Feeling unseen and unappreciated as a partner.
No strengths to see, just my weakness
Feeling weak and vulnerable, lacking strength in the relationship.
So what else can’t you see
Questioning whether they're not the desired partner.
Am I not the girl you want to be with?
Wondering what's left of their identity in the relationship.
Now then what’s left of me
Feeling overwhelmed yet satisfied by the end of emotional pain.
I’m so overwhelmed, so satisfied
One problem less, finding relief in a small victory.
With the ending of that pain
Despite everything, something finally went right for them.
That’s one less from a hundred problems
Reiterating the request for truth, kindness, and acceptance.
At least, one thing got right in my way
Expressing hope for reciprocity in acceptance.
Give me all the truth
Feeling overwhelmed by the other person's presence.
Be nice, and kind, and be rude
Seeing signs that they are meant to be together, but not indefinitely.
I’ll still accept you for you
Committing again not to lie.
I hope you do the same too
Highlighting the exhaustion from feeling wrong in the relationship.
Now you’re all over me
Similar to line 15, feeling put down by both the person and haters.
The universe answered
Feeling validated by the universe about their relationship.
That we’re meant to be
Realizing they might be meant for each other but not eternally.
But not for forever
Reaffirming the commitment not to deceive.
Not gonna lie
Repeatedly emphasizing the refusal to lie.
Not gonna, gonna lie
Similar to line 11, feeling exhausted but unable to give up.
Can’t be tired of life
Emphasizing that the person is the source of the speaker's distress.
When you’re the only one that’s not right
Similar to line 12, implying that the person is the issue in the relationship.
Not gonna lie
Reiterating the commitment to honesty.
Not gonna, gonna lie
Continued emphasis on the refusal to deceive.
You and the haters alike
Equating the person and haters as sources of criticism and negativity.
Put me down tell me it ain’t my time
Feeling put down and told it's not their time by both the person and haters.
