Lyrics
It's too easy to stay up late on my phone
Struggling to resist staying up late using the phone, possibly checking messages.
And read through the text that I sent you
Reviewing previously sent messages to the person addressed in the song.
If I'm doing it then you are too
Suggests the recipient also engages in similar behavior.
You know those photos I gave you a month ago
Referring to shared intimate photos.
I told you I don't really do that
Initially reluctant to share photos but regrets doing so.
Regret it whenever I look back
Expressing regret upon reflection about sharing those photos.
Since you cut it off for good
Since the breakup, there's been a disconnect or separation.
We've been taking space
Both parties have distanced themselves.
But you've got parts of me you shouldn't
The ex still holds emotional fragments despite the separation.
And that's gotta change, so
Recognizing the need for change in this situation.
Delete me
Direct plea to be erased or removed from the ex's life.
You don't get to leave me
Stating the ex doesn’t have the right to abandon completely.
Never call but show up when you're missing me
Accusing the ex of inconsistency in communication.
It's time to clear the history
Time to move forward and let go of the past.
Erase me
Requesting to be completely removed or forgotten.
You don't get to save me
Emphasizing the lack of permission for the ex to preserve any memory.
If you're telling all your friends how you don't need me
Questioning the ex's motives in keeping any connection while claiming not to need the speaker.
Then why you tryna keep me?
Asking why the ex is trying to maintain ties if they claim not to need the speaker.
Delete me
Reiteration of the plea to be deleted from the ex's life.
Oh oh oh
Repetitive emphasis on the request to be deleted or removed.
Oh oh oh
-Delete me
-Oh oh oh
-I've got some memories of driving fast in your car
Recollection of shared memories, particularly in a car, symbolizing intimacy or closeness.
Out in the middle of nowhere
Recollecting a specific location or experience.
I hope you forget how to get there
Desire for the ex to forget this shared memory or experience.
Told you things I normally wouldn't and you pulled away
Admitting vulnerability and sharing personal details, leading to the ex's withdrawal.
Now you got parts of me you shouldn't
Reiterating the idea that the ex has emotional fragments of the speaker.
And that's gotta change so (gotta change)
Highlighting the need for change in the situation once more.
Delete me
Repeating the plea to be deleted or removed from the ex's life.
You don't get to leave me
-Never call but show up when you're missing me
-It's time to clear the history
-Erase me
-You don't get to save me
-If you're telling all your friends how you don't need me
-Then why you tryna keep me?
-Delete me
-Oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh
Continued emphasis on the request to be deleted or removed.
Delete me
-Oh oh oh
-If there's a button I could press
Desire for a hypothetical button to return to the start of the relationship.
Take me back to when you sent that first text ya
Reflecting on the initial interaction through a text message.
I guess that you probably didn't get the message
Implying that the significance of the first text might have been overlooked.
Don't try me back again
Asserting the desire for no further attempts to reconnect.
Delete me
Repetition of the plea to be deleted or removed from the ex's life.
You don't get to leave me
-Never call but show up when you're missing me
-It's time to clear the history
-Erase me
-You don't get to save me
-If you're telling all your friends how you don't need me
-Then why you tryna keep me?
-Delete me
-Oh, delete me baby
-Whoa-ah-ah-ah oh oh
Continued emphasis on the plea to be deleted or removed.
