Lyrics
Verse 1:
Introduction of the verse
You’re so welcome
Expressing satisfaction for assisting in bringing someone to the listener
That I pushed him your way
Highlighting the act of distancing the person from the speaker
when I pushed him away
Suggesting that the listener helped the person when the speaker pushed them away
Hope you helped him
Asking if the listener provided support to the person
Cause you got every feeling
Implying that the listener now possesses the same emotions the person had for the speaker
That he had for me
Stating that the listener now experiences the feelings the person had for the speaker
Pre:
Introduction to the pre-chorus
I watched it all ricochet
Observing the consequences of actions bouncing between individuals
From him to me then me to him to you
Describing the cyclical nature of the consequences
a game that you can only ever lose
Labeling the situation as a game with inevitable losses
think that he’s your property
Suggesting possessiveness from the listener
But you’ll never see my point of view, cause
Claiming the listener won't understand the speaker's perspective
Chorus:
Introduction to the chorus
I’m the only reason you’re together
Declaring the speaker as the reason for the listener's relationship
I’m the reason that you have it better
Claiming credit for improving the listener's life
Really all I’m saying is
Stating the main message of the chorus
you can thank me, you can thank me later
Encouraging the listener to express gratitude later
You’re the reason that I got no closure
Blaming the listener for the speaker's lack of closure
I’m the reason that he had you over
Asserting influence over the person's actions
Really all I’m saying is
Reiterating the suggestion to thank the speaker later
you can thank me, you can thank me later
Encouraging the listener to express gratitude later
Verse 2:
Introduction to the second verse
You’re so welcome
Repeating the expression of satisfaction for providing an item
for the hoodie you’re in
Referencing an item the speaker bought for the person
The one I bought for him
Encouraging the listener to enjoy the item
So enjoy them
Encouraging the listener to inquire about the item's origin
Go ask where he got it
Emphasizing the significance of the item to the person
Cause it’s his favorite
Transition to the second pre-chorus
Pre 2:
Reiterating possessiveness from the listener
think that he’s your property
Emphasizing the listener's inability to understand the speaker's viewpoint
But you’ll never see my point of view, cause
Reiteration of the claim that the listener won't understand
Bridge:
Introduction to the bridge
You walked in on all of his emotions
Describing the listener witnessing the person's emotions
Now now he projects on you
Explaining the person projecting their emotions onto the listener
So you can thank me later for the warning
Advising the listener to thank the speaker for the warning about the person's emotions
When you finally see it’s true
Emphasizing the truth of the warning
