Lyrics
I could figure you out
I can understand who you are
Before you’d think to say
Before you express it verbally
“Hey baby, look away”
Suggesting a scenario where the person would ask to look away
I’ve been spending my time
I have been dedicating my time
At home by myself
Being alone at home
It’s not as sad as it may sound
Contrasting the perception of loneliness with actual emotions
No romance, no social
No romantic involvement, no social interactions
I’ve caused enough trouble
Acknowledging causing problems in the past
I think I’ll stay home
Deciding to remain at home
I’m better off alone
Choosing to be better off without company
I don’t want to talk to you
Expressing a desire not to communicate
I’m scared you’ll make me cry
Fearing emotional vulnerability and tears
But everything’s coming up purple
Positive developments represented by the color purple
In my hair
Referring to the color of the positive changes in hair
Red-violet
Describing the shade of red-violet
No romance, no social
Reiterating the absence of romance and social engagement
I’ve caused enough trouble
Acknowledging past disturbances caused
I think I’ll stay home
Reaffirming the choice to stay home
I can’t hurt anyone alone
Expressing the inability to harm others when alone
I think about you when you’re not around
Thinking about the person when they are not present
You walk by making faces
Noting facial expressions made by the person
Grab my hands when you say, “goodbye.”
Physical interaction when parting ways
Don’t think that I don’t see it
Asserting awareness of observed actions
No romance, no social
Reiterating the lack of romance and social involvement
I’ve caused enough trouble
Acknowledging past troubles caused
I think I’ll stay home
Reaffirming the decision to stay home
I’m better off alone
Emphasizing the belief of being better off alone
I think I’ll stay home
Reiterating the choice to stay home
I’m better off alone
Emphasizing the belief of being better off alone
No romance, no social
Restating the absence of romance and social engagement
I’ve caused enough trouble
Acknowledging past disturbances caused
I think I’ll stay home
Reaffirming the decision to stay home
I’m better off alone
Emphasizing the belief of being better off alone
