Lyrics
Did you forget all the things that you said to me
Questioning if the person remembers promises or statements made.
Were they all just in my head
Expressing doubt about the reality of those statements, pondering if they were imagined.
Or was I looking oh so carefully
Wondering if careful observation was mistaken or if intentions were overlooked.
You say you didn't need that
Denying the need for certain things, possibly from a past conversation.
Oh I know you just don't mean that
Expressing skepticism, believing the denial is insincere.
Baby, I know you want more
Acknowledging a desire for more in the relationship.
And then you'll go and say you don't even care
Noting inconsistency in statements, alternating between caring and indifference.
When I'm gone, oh
Anticipating a reaction or change in attitude when the speaker is no longer present.
You'll say you're so much better
Expecting the person to claim self-improvement in the absence of the speaker.
And something 'bout the way that I
Reflecting on the absence and its impact on the relationship.
Wasn't there, oh nah
Highlighting the feeling of being unappreciated or unnoticed in the past.
Oh baby, I don't care
Expressing indifference towards the person's opinions or reactions.
I wonder why
Pondering the reasons behind the perceived indifference or changes in the relationship.
'Cause I just don't want a waste of time
Expressing a desire to avoid wasting time in a relationship.
Maybe I ask too much
Suggesting a perception of asking for too much in the relationship.
You make me feel just like I'm never enough
Feeling inadequate and not meeting the expectations of the person.
Well, I see that you don't need me right now
Observing that the person currently does not require the speaker.
And I shouldn't need ya
Questioning the necessity of dependence on the person.
Is it fact or is it fiction
Questioning the reality of the situation, whether it is true or a fabrication.
My love is insufficient
Expressing a sense of inadequacy in providing love or commitment.
I'm stretching my arms so wide
Metaphorically describing an attempt to reach out emotionally.
I don't know why
Expressing confusion about the reasons behind emotional efforts.
But don't say I didn't try
Acknowledging efforts made in the relationship despite potential failure.
When I'm gone, oh
Anticipating a change in the person's attitude when the speaker is no longer present.
You'll say you're so much better
Expecting the person to claim self-improvement in the absence of the speaker (repeated).
And something 'bout the way that I
Reflecting on the absence and its impact on the relationship (repeated).
Wasn't there, oh nah
Highlighting the feeling of being unappreciated or unnoticed in the past (repeated).
Oh baby, I don't care
Expressing indifference towards the person's opinions or reactions (repeated).
I wonder why
Pondering the reasons behind the perceived indifference or changes in the relationship (repeated).
'Cause I just don't want a waste of time
Expressing a desire to avoid wasting time in a relationship (repeated).
