Lyrics
You're so desperate to be me
You are eager or desperate to emulate me.
Your drunkenness screams insecurity
Your intoxication reveals a lack of confidence or self-assurance.
Like a shock to the system
Similar to a sudden impact, suggesting a startling realization.
Thought that I would miss him seeing your face
Anticipated missing someone, but seeing your face changed that.
But not me
Contrary to expectations, it doesn't affect me.
Wrong girl
Addressing someone as the wrong girl in the wrong place.
Wrong place
Emphasizing the incompatibility of the person and the setting.
See I've had what you have and I don't want him back
Expressing disinterest in rekindling a past relationship.
Yeah I got what I need and I'm good with that
Content with what is currently possessed, indicating self-sufficiency.
It's obvious you're uncomfortable
Observing discomfort in the other person's demeanor.
Stumblin' 'round out here on this floor
Describing someone stumbling around on the dance floor.
And cryin' in the stairway all alone
Highlighting someone crying alone in a stairway.
I know it breaks your heart
Acknowledging that the situation is heartbreaking.
But hun that's not my fault
Asserting that the speaker is not to blame for the other's heartbreak.
You think the problem here is me
Addressing the misconception that the problem lies with the speaker.
But you're the villain here baby
Pointing out the other person as the antagonist or wrongdoer.
I'm not tryna call you out
Clarifying that the intention is not to criticize but to state the truth.
But I've seen this before and there's no doubt
Drawing from past experiences to emphasize certainty.
You thought you'd upset me actin' fuckin' petty
Noting an attempt to provoke with petty actions and insults.
And putting me down
Suggesting that putting the speaker down is a reason for the other's loneliness.
It's probably why he's not around
Speculating that the other person's actions contributed to their partner's absence.
You don't need to fill my shoes
Advising against trying to replace or surpass the speaker.
And there's no way you ever could
Emphasizing the impossibility of filling the speaker's shoes.
But I've done my healing
Having completed the process of emotional recovery.
Sure don't miss that feeling
Not missing the negative emotions associated with the past.
You're feeling right now
Acknowledging the emotional state of the other person.
So pick up your chin, put the bottle down
Encouraging the other person to lift their spirits and stop drinking.
I know it breaks your heart
Reiterating that the situation is regrettable but not the speaker's fault.
But hun that's not my fault
Confirming the lack of responsibility for the other person's heartbreak.
You think the problem here is me
Reiterating the misconception that the problem is with the speaker.
But I hope eventually you'll see
Expressing hope that the other person will eventually realize the truth.
He's not the lovin' kind
Describing the former partner as not inclined towards love.
He chases the night and loves goodbyes
Characterizing the ex-partner as someone who pursues nightlife and farewells.
So there ain't no reason to be mean
Advising against being mean, considering the shared negative experience.
'Cause he did the same shit to me
Asserting that the ex-partner treated the speaker similarly.
