Lyrics

Sometimes I get this urge to talk to you

Sometimes, I feel an impulse to communicate with you

And then I remember you’re not the same anymore

Realizing that you have changed, and the connection is not the same

It’s quite sad because I really miss you

An expression of sadness due to the absence of the previous connection

Let me correct that

Acknowledging the need for correction or clarification

I miss the old you

Expressing a longing for the person you used to be

I’m trying to forget you, but I’m also waiting for you to come back

Simultaneously attempting to move on and hoping for the person's return

I’m trying to forget you, but I’m also waiting for you to come back

Reiteration of the internal struggle to forget and wait for a comeback

I let you in

Admitting to allowing emotional closeness

Fuckin' let you in

An emphatic expression of letting the person into one's life

And you completely destroyed me

Feeling emotionally devastated by the impact of the relationship

I guess you win

Acceptance of defeat in the emotional struggle

Out of all of the people who could’ve ripped me to shreds

Reflecting on the unexpected source of emotional pain

Why on Earth did it have to be you?

Questioning why the specific person became the cause of distress

I’m trying to forget you, but I’m also waiting for you to come back

Continuing efforts to forget while eagerly awaiting a return

I’m trying to forget you, but I’m also waiting for you to come back

Reiteration of the internal conflict between forgetting and waiting

I know I probably don’t cross your mind, much anymore

Awareness that one may not occupy the other person's thoughts as before

But I hope that someday, something reminds you of me

Expressing a wish that something triggers memories of the speaker

And the things we used to spend hours talking about at night

Recalling shared topics of conversation and time spent together

And then your throat gets tight

Anticipating a physical response when memories resurface

Your heart skips a beat

Describing physical sensations linked to rediscovering emotions

And you finally miss me back

Hoping for a reciprocal feeling of missing the speaker
