Lyrics

It's been a long week since you moved out of our place

Expressing the passage of time since the partner moved out of their shared living space.

I know what I went through, did you go through the same?

Questioning if the listener, presumably the ex-partner, has undergone similar emotions and experiences.


I'm not mad,

Asserting that the speaker is not angry.

I'm not sad,

Asserting that the speaker is not sad.

I don't want you back

Declaring the lack of desire to reconcile or rekindle the relationship.

I'm surprisingly calm,

Expressing an unexpected sense of calmness in the speaker.

And in fact,

Further emphasizing the calmness the speaker feels.

I feel better—

Stating an improvement in the speaker's emotional state.


It's kinda crazy just how much I lost myself,

Reflecting on the extent to which the speaker lost their identity while prioritizing someone else.

While I've been so busy living for somebody else

Acknowledging the speaker's preoccupation with living for another person.

But now I'm here —

Asserting the speaker's current presence and self-awareness.

Being alone is not bad after all

Conveying a positive perspective on solitude, stating that being alone is not a negative experience.


The quiet walls I used to fear got me to listen

Describing a shift in perception towards the previously feared silence within the walls.

To the parts of me that's been completely missing

Highlighting a newfound ability to recognize and connect with neglected aspects of the speaker's identity.


I'm not mad,

Reiterating the absence of anger in the speaker.

I'm not sad,

Reiterating the absence of sadness in the speaker.

I don't want you back

Reiterating the lack of desire to reconcile or revisit the past relationship.

I'm surprisingly calm,

Reiterating the unexpected sense of calmness in the speaker.

And in fact,

Reiterating the emphasized calmness in the speaker.

I feel better—

Reiterating the improved emotional state of the speaker.


It's kinda crazy just how much I lost myself,

Echoing the sentiment of losing oneself while being overly focused on another person.

While I've been so busy living for somebody else

Reiterating the theme of sacrificing personal identity for the sake of someone else.

But now I'm here —

Emphasizing the speaker's current state of self-awareness and contentment.

Being alone is not bad after all

Summarizing the positive realization that being alone is not a negative state after all.
