Lyrics
Of course you'd never think that all I think about is you
Expressing that the person constantly thinks about the listener.
Of course you kinda hate me 'cause I pretend to
Acknowledging that the listener may harbor negative feelings due to pretending.
But all I wanted you to be is sitting closer next to me
Desiring the listener's proximity and companionship.
Of course I drew a line and pushed you far away
Creating distance and setting boundaries by pushing the listener away.
And maybe you'd be mine if I knew what to say
Expressing uncertainty about what to say to make the listener theirs.
But in the end, I'm forced to lie
Acknowledging a tendency to lie under certain circumstances.
I forced your hands to wave goodbye
Forcing a separation, possibly regretting the action.
But in my dreams, we're hand in hand
Dreaming of a close and intimate relationship with the listener.
I just don't wanna understand
Expressing a reluctance to understand the reasons behind the separation.
If you knew the way I think about you
Posing a hypothetical scenario about the listener knowing the intensity of their thoughts.
I doubt you would wanna stay the way we are
Doubting the listener's willingness to maintain the current relationship.
Let's cast ourselves into the stars
Suggesting a desire to escape the current situation by dreaming of being among the stars.
I hid all my secrets deep inside me, come find me
Revealing hidden emotions and inviting the listener to discover them.
The first time that I heard your name
Recalling the initial impact of hearing the listener's name.
I knew we'd never feel this way
Expressing a belief that the current emotions are unique and special.
(Aww, it's so cute)

Of course I always fall for inconsiderate jerks
Admitting a pattern of falling for individuals who may not treat them well.
Does love matter at all if all my body parts work?
Raising questions about the significance of love when physical aspects seem functional.
An eye, a neck, a hand, a chest
Listing body parts, possibly representing a checklist before understanding love.
Before I learn the answer's yes
Acknowledging acceptance after receiving affirmative answers to the checklist.
Of course this is the way that everything turned out to be
Accepting the current circumstances as the way things have unfolded.
I guess that it's okay to hurt indefinitely
Expressing a willingness to endure emotional pain indefinitely.
But tell me how the story ends
Posing a question about the potential outcome if they abandon pretense.
If we give up on play pretend
Linking the resolution of the story to a decision regarding play pretend.
'Cause in my dreams, we're hand in hand
Reiterating the desire for a close and connected relationship in dreams.
Is that so hard to understand?
Expressing frustration at the perceived difficulty of understanding this desire.
If you knew the way I think about you
Repeating the hypothetical scenario of the listener knowing the intensity of their thoughts.
I doubt you would wanna stay the way we are
Reiterating doubt about the listener's willingness to maintain the current relationship.
Let's cast ourselves into the stars
Repeating the desire to escape the current situation by casting themselves into the stars.
I hid all my secrets deep inside me, come find me

The first time that I heard your name
Revisiting the impact of hearing the listener's name for the first time.
I knew we'd never feel this way
Reaffirming the belief that the current emotions are unique and special.
I'll always miss the way you whisper my name
Expressing a lasting longing for the way the listener used to whisper their name.
As if it's something you're embarrassed to say

As if I'm barely worth the breath that you take, you take, you take
Feeling undervalued, as if the listener considers them barely worth the breath.
