Lyrics
He is better than me
Expressing a sense of inferiority compared to someone else
He's everything
Acknowledging the other person's overall excellence
Oh my God, it fucking hurts
Conveying emotional pain and distress
'Cause I'm not like other guys, I'm worse
Highlighting personal flaws and a self-perceived negative difference
And she, she's better than me
Emphasizing the superiority of the other person
She's everything I'm not
Contrasting one's own qualities with the excellence of the other person
I wish I had something more than her
Expressing a desire for something more than what is currently possessed
Old used tile on my bathroom floor
Describing a mundane and worn-out aspect of the living space
Subway on a Sunday with a smoker's cough
Depicting a routine moment with discomfort and health issues
You're on your honeymoon again, I'm taking weekends off
Highlighting a contrast in life situations between the speaker and someone else
Woke up today
Beginning of a new day
Feeling tombstone grey
Describing a feeling of sadness or emotional heaviness
I think I really wanna throw myself away
Expressing a desire to escape or discard oneself
To the life filled with my papers from the second grade
Yearning for a simpler and more carefree time in childhood
Woke up today
Repetition of the feeling of tombstone grey
Tombstone grey
Continuation of the description of a heavy emotional state
I don't think about you like I used to
Indicating a change in thoughts about the other person
I don't ever search your name on YouTube
No longer obsessing or dwelling on the other person
I took you off my phone like you were U2
Symbolic removal of the person from daily life
And now I'm used to you
Adaptation and adjustment to life without the other person
You can't get me right some more, it's okay
Acceptance of not being influenced or affected by the other person
Now I wake up early, take the subway
Establishing a new routine and moving on with life
The world wants me to love or lose
Recognition of external pressures regarding love and choices
The good news is I don't have to choose because I lost you
Expressing relief from the need to make a difficult choice due to losing the person
Subway on a Sunday with a smoker's cough
Repetition of a routine moment with discomfort and health issues
You're on your honeymoon again, I'm taking weekends off
Reiteration of the contrast in life situations between the speaker and someone else
Woke up today
Repetition of the beginning of a new day with a heavy emotional state
Feeling tombstone grey
Continuation of the description of feeling tombstone grey
I think I really wanna throw myself away
Reiteration of the desire to escape or discard oneself
To the life filled with my papers from the second grade
Repetition of the yearning for a simpler time in childhood
Woke up today
Repetition of waking up with a tombstone grey feeling
Feeling tombstone grey
Continuation of the heavy emotional state described earlier
