Lyrics
Friends for never again
Expressing a permanent end to the friendship.
I can’t trust the things you got goin' on
Doubting the reliability of the person's actions.
Too much, I don’t even have enough for my own
Feeling overwhelmed, lacking resources for personal needs.
I tried to be there but you don’t have enough air
Attempted support, but the person seems suffocated or unresponsive.
For anyone, except you
Pointing out exclusivity, suggesting self-centeredness.
And that bitch that you say you love
Questioning the authenticity of the claimed love interest.
It's only been like a month
Highlighting the brevity of the proclaimed love.
Don’t you think, don't you think that’s a little too much
Questioning the sincerity of the proclaimed love due to its rapid development.
As you know, kids are fuckin' dumb
Commenting on the perceived foolishness of youth.
I remember 16
Reflecting on memories from the age of 16.
When you were everything I hoped to be
Recalling a time when the person admired the addressee.
You stood so tall over me, over me
Describing the addressee's stature and influence.
I didn’t ever mind it
Indicating acceptance or tolerance of the admired person's behavior.
You were the only false god I’ve seen
Labeling the admired person as a false god.
And damn well, I was blinded by bloody blues
Acknowledging being blinded by intense emotions.
And the rush that came from you
Describing the intense emotions and excitement associated with the admired person.
But where you been?
Questioning the addressee's whereabouts or actions.
Nah, I told my self to stop wondering
Deciding to stop speculating about the addressee's intentions.
“If they wanted, they would, maybe they didn’t know they could”
Expressing the belief that if someone wanted to act, they would have done so.
Ah, seen it all before
Expressing a sense of familiarity or predictability.
Friends for never again
Reiterating the end of the friendship.
I can’t trust the things you got going on
Reiterating distrust in the addressee's actions.
And that’s what I like to call bullshit
Labeling a situation as deceptive or insincere.
It’s been a long one
Noting the passage of a significant amount of time.
With your hands around my throat
Describing a situation where the speaker feels threatened.
A second more, and i’ll choke
Expressing a critical moment with potential harm.
Counting all the bones you break
Counting the physical toll of the relationship.
I'll make a couple thousand off my pain
Turning personal pain into a source of financial gain.
All credit due to your name
Crediting the person for the pain turned into profit.
You’ll never see a dime of it
Suggesting the person won't benefit from the speaker's success.
I payed your way every goddamn day
Highlighting the speaker's past financial support.
When you had nothing
Reminding the addressee of past assistance when they were in need.
When thinking back, don’t look back
Encouraging forward thinking and not dwelling on the past.
I’m thirteen steps ahead, ahead
Asserting a significant advantage in terms of progress or planning.
Remember 16 when you were everything I hoped to be?
Recalling a previous admiration for the addressee at the age of 16.
You stood so tall over me, over me
Reiterating the addressee's towering presence in the speaker's past.
