Lyrics

Can't keep it all to myself

Expressing difficulty in keeping thoughts or emotions private.

I run in circles and I know that I'm hard on myself

Feeling trapped in a cycle of self-criticism and acknowledging personal pressure.

All I wanted was a compromise

Desiring a middle ground or mutual agreement.

But now I feel stupid

Feeling foolish or regretful about a situation.

I know that I mean it when I say I'm trying

Asserting genuine effort despite challenges.

I know my expectations are too damn high cause

Acknowledging having unrealistic expectations.

Every time that I try, it's the way that it was

Struggling due to recurring patterns or habits.

Don't tell me that you don't understand where I'm coming from

Challenging someone's understanding of personal experiences.

So tell me, did you mean it?

Seeking validation about the authenticity of someone's feelings.

Did you really feel that way, I can't believe it

Expressing disbelief regarding someone's emotions.

There's more to say but I don't wanna talk about this anymore

Reluctance to discuss the subject any further.

But know, I was never keeping score

Denying the act of keeping a tally or score of past actions.

Everything is bittersweet

Reflecting on mixed emotions in situations.

Cause I don't miss being so stressed

Not missing the stress of past experiences.

But parts of you and me still echo in my memory

Remembering remnants of a past relationship or connection.

We wasted our breath and so then we drifted cause you never listen

Feeling unheard leading to distance or separation.

Defensive and emotional

Describing defensive and emotionally charged interactions.

It doesn't help that I can't make you feel all the things that I felt

Frustration at being unable to evoke certain feelings in someone else.

You let me walk away cause you know where I'm coming from

Recognizing permission given to leave a situation due to understanding.

Oh

An exclamation or emotional expression.

So tell me, did you mean it?

Repeating the inquiry about the sincerity of someone's feelings.

Did you really feel that way, I can't believe it

Reiterating disbelief in the legitimacy of someone's emotions.

There's more to say but I don't wanna talk about this anymore

Reaffirming a reluctance to continue discussing the matter.

But know, I was never keeping score

Reemphasizing the denial of keeping track or holding grudges.

Never keeping, I was never keeping score

Repetition emphasizing not keeping track or holding scores.

Never keeping, I was never keeping score

-

Never keeping, I was never keeping score

-

Never keeping, I was never keeping score

-

Now it all feels like a dream

Expressing a surreal or unreal feeling about the past.

I wish that we were still just kids and played on each others team

Longing for a simpler, more innocent time in the past.

Guess I don't know what is worth it or not anymore

Expressing uncertainty about what holds value or significance anymore.

But I know that I was never fucking keeping score

Asserting again the refusal to maintain a tally of past grievances.
