Lyrics
Trust in that I never meant to treat you like you're second rate
Expressing regret for treating someone poorly and acknowledging their worth.
So god damn pathetic that I let it get the best of me
Feeling ashamed for letting negative emotions influence behavior.
Don't know why I shy away when you are affectionate
Questioning why there's a tendency to withdraw when receiving affection.
Always hesitate, prolly circle back when I'm less afraid
Admitting a tendency to hesitate and suggesting a return when fear diminishes.
She said it wouldn't even matter if I tried to move on
Someone asserting that moving on wouldn't matter, possibly indicating a deep connection.
This is really love we've been at it too long
Reflecting on a long-lasting love relationship.
Now you airing out our laundry on another new song
Noticing the partner airing grievances in a new song.
Wish that I could tell you that I'm cutting you off
Expressing a desire to cut ties, but struggling to do so.
So tie the noose on, take me to a cold place
Using metaphorical language, possibly expressing a desire for self-harm or escapism.
Told her that I love her 'cause she fucking with my throwaways
Acknowledging affection but emphasizing a lack of commitment.
Wanna be the only one that's funny girl but no way
Desiring exclusivity but acknowledging difficulties achieving it.
Answer phone calls no thanks
Avoiding phone calls, possibly evading commitment or confrontation.
Often tryna reach me worried that it's so late
Addressing concerns about late-night calls and potential repetition of past behavior.
Thinking that I'll repeat, prone to all my old ways
Acknowledging a tendency to revert to old habits.
Response says in studio no break
Stating commitment to work in the studio without breaks.
So far from the truth but it's okay
Acknowledging a deviation from the truth but accepting it.
(Is it ok)
Parenthetical expression questioning the acceptability of the situation.
Entertaining these women every time they approach me
Engaging with other women despite the existing relationship.
(Is it ok)
Pondering the acceptability of involvement with other people.
So cold fucking hoes in a bed that we both lay
Describing engaging in intimate activities in a shared bed.
Trust in that I never meant to treat you like you're second rate
Repeating the regret for treating someone poorly.
So god damn pathetic that I let it get the best of me
Reiterating the feeling of being pathetic for succumbing to negativity.
Don't know why I shy away when you are affectionate
Expressing confusion about withdrawing from affectionate gestures.
Always hesitate, prolly circle back when I'm less afraid
Acknowledging a pattern of hesitation with a plan to return when less fearful.
All you ever wanted was someone to find love in
Recognizing the partner's desire for someone to find love in.
Articulating honesty, how you define loving?
Questioning how honesty is expressed and defining love.
Is part of design of it I'm caught on side of it
Exploring the complexity and entanglement of love.
Been feeling confined from it but isn't it blind, love is
Feeling confined by love but acknowledging its blindness.
Isn't it time something gonna finally change
Questioning when a change will occur in the situation.
I couldn't accept what was right in my face
Admitting difficulty in accepting the reality that was evident.
All along it's only me who was right in my way
Realizing that personal actions obstructed the path to happiness.
I lost a woman that I never should've tried to replace c'mon
Expressing regret for attempting to replace someone valuable.
Fall right back to the bed you've made what
Returning to a familiar, self-created situation.
Trust in that I never meant to treat you like you're second rate
Reaffirming regret for treating someone poorly.
So god damn pathetic that I let it get the best of me
