Counting stars in my bed
Counting Stars in Heartbreak: Kodomo Jay's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I told her, "I don't know if I can do all this"
The speaker expresses uncertainty about their ability to handle the situation.
"It hurts even more you're with someone else, and I notice" oh, woah
The pain intensifies knowing that the person they care about is now involved with someone else.
I can't fall asleep, so I read all your old texts
Struggling to fall asleep, the speaker revisits old messages from the person they're thinking about.
I'm counting stars, and counting sheep, while I think of you in my bed
The speaker is lying awake, thinking of the person they miss, metaphorically counting stars and sheep in bed.
I walked away so many times, I said, "I hate you"
In the past, the speaker has walked away from the relationship and expressed hatred.
I asked my friends why they would let me date you
The speaker questions their friends about why they allowed the speaker to date this person.
I went into my camera roll, and start to delete you
The speaker attempts to remove memories of the person by deleting their presence from their camera roll.
But it's a job that I could never find myself to do
Despite the attempt, the speaker finds it challenging to completely erase the person from their life.
You gave me warmth I never felt before
The person brought a sense of warmth and emotional security the speaker hadn't experienced before.
Security with you, oh, I just felt so warm, oh, I did
The speaker felt comfort and security in the relationship.
I talk about you, and I obsess some more
The speaker continues to talk about and obsess over the person they want to forget.
I just wanna forget you, but I can't as long as I live
The desire to forget the person is strong, yet impossible to achieve as long as the speaker lives.
I don't know what the case is (no)
The speaker is unsure about the situation or the reasons behind it.
I know our reality, but I cannot embrace it
They acknowledge the reality of the situation but struggle to accept it emotionally.
I feel like we are gonna make it (oh, woah)
There's hope for the relationship to succeed.
The other part of me knows that we're done, and we can't erase it
Despite the hope, the speaker acknowledges the relationship is over, and it cannot be undone.
I don't know what else to do (no)
The speaker is at a loss for what actions to take.
I tried my best to forget you (oh)
They've tried their best to move on and forget about the person.
You left my heart broken and blue (oh yeah)
The person they cared for left them emotionally shattered.
I took it personal 'cause I woulda never done it to you (no)
The speaker takes the breakup personally, feeling they wouldn't have hurt the other person in the same way.
You don't care, you don't, but I do (oh yeah)
There's a contrast in emotional investment—the speaker cares deeply while feeling the other person doesn't.
All I did was love you (yeah)
The speaker's main action was to love the other person.
But you never did love me too (no)
They feel unreciprocated in their love; the other person didn't love them back.
I told her, "I don't know if I can do all this"
Reiteration of uncertainty about handling the situation.
"It hurts even more you're with someone else, and I notice" oh, woah
Emotional pain increases knowing the person is now involved with someone else.
