Mean
Heartache Unveiled: Navigating Love's Complexity with Kitty Fitz
Lyrics
Have I exaggerated my place in your heart again?
Questioning if the singer has overestimated their importance in the other person's heart.
Am I an afterthought you joke about with all your friends?
Wondering if they're just a casual topic of jest among the other person's friends.
I was good fun for a while
Acknowledging they were enjoyable for a period.
But I had all these feelings
Expressing having deep emotions despite being perceived as fun.
Things you didn’t have the time for, things with meaning
Highlighting that the other person didn't invest time in things that held significance to the singer.
I tried to tell you what you mean to me,
Attempted to convey their feelings to the person.
But baby you’re just mean to me
Describing the other person's behavior as mean despite the singer's attempt to express their emotions.
I won’t even try to explain
Deciding not to explain further due to a perceived lack of receptiveness.
Cause even if I could
Believing that even if they could explain, the other person wouldn’t be interested.
You wouldn’t want me anyway
Feeling unwanted by the other person regardless of any explanation.
I’ve still got the napkin that you wrote your number down on
Retaining a memento from their interaction.
Now I’m watching your life from my phone,
Observing the other person's life from a distance through social media.
Without the sound on
Doing so without engaging with the audio, perhaps to maintain distance.
Lovers to friends, and then right back again
Noting a cycle of the other person's relationships.
I would say strangers, but then again that's wishful thinking
Recognizing that seeing them as strangers would be wishful thinking.
I tried to tell you what you mean to me,
Reiterating the attempt to express their feelings to the person.
But baby you’re just mean to me
Reaffirming the perception of the other person as mean despite efforts to convey emotions.
I won’t even try to explain
Deciding against further attempts at explanation due to anticipated rejection.
Cause even if I could
Believing the other person wouldn't desire them even if they could explain.
You wouldn’t want me anyway
Feeling unwanted regardless of their ability to explain.
Tell me something that will go down easy
Seeking reassurance or comforting words.
Don’t tell me that you want me
Preferring not to hear declarations of desire from the other person.
Say you need me
Yearning to be needed rather than simply wanted.
I tried to tell you what you mean to me,
Expressing the futile attempt to convey their feelings.
But baby you’re just mean to me
Reiterating the perception of the other person's behavior as mean despite efforts to communicate.
I won’t even try to explain
Choosing not to attempt explanation further due to perceived rejection.
Cause I could
Confident in their ability to explain, but believing it wouldn't change the other person's lack of interest.
But you don’t want me a
Reaffirming the belief that the other person doesn't desire them.
