Lyrics

an actress

An actress

sooner the better for me

Desires sooner action or resolution

you should know by now

Expected knowledge or understanding at this point

i'm not your friend

Not in a close, supportive relationship

you're ravelled up

Feeling tangled or confused

you take some time to come undone

Requiring time to relax or unravel

you look so tired

Appearing exhausted or fatigued

i know your type

Familiar with your personality or behavior

you storm out

Exiting abruptly and causing destruction

and tear the walls,

Dismantling the physical representations of memories or connections

the portraits down

Acting upon desires or intentions

it's what you wanted

Confirming desires or actions as desired

it's how we are

Describing the situation or behavior


take it or leave it

Acceptance of conditions or terms

slow down slow down

Advising to slow down

i can stay awake for you

Willingness to stay awake for the other person

if you can stay awake for me

Request for mutual effort in staying awake

you're broken to break down

Being emotionally fragile or strained

slow down slow down

Reiteration to slow down the pace

i'm not so sure

Uncertain or hesitant

so wait and see

Suggesting a wait-and-see approach


i wake up

Waking up in a romantic partner's place

girlfriend i'm on your floor

Informing the partner about the situation

you should know by now

Clarification of emotional state

i'm not so mad

Not extremely angry or upset

it's go time

Time for action or movement

you're barely dressed

Scantily dressed but emotionally engaged

but fully on

Fully involved or committed

your painted eyes

Artificial or deceptive appearance

you look so tired

Appearance of exhaustion


i don't think i can trust love anymore

Lack of trust in love

i don't think i can trust love anymore

Reiteration of the distrust in love
