Seeing Other People
Navigating Heartbreak: Mackenzie Porter's Emotional Journey in 'Seeing Other People'
Lyrics
Oh my God, she's so pretty and you're holding her hand in public
Expressing surprise and admiration at the physical appearance of someone new with the implication of a romantic involvement.
You never did that with me
Highlighting a past behavior of not publicly displaying affection, comparing it to the current situation.
If you're trying to come here and make me jealous, hell, it's working
Suspecting the intention of making the speaker jealous and acknowledging its success.
I didn't think I would be
Acknowledging unexpected emotions and reactions to the situation.
But I am and I understand if you think I'm kinda crazy
Recognizing the possibility of being perceived as irrational due to the emotional response.
Yeah, I think I'm kinda crazy too
Admitting to a shared feeling of being emotionally overwhelmed and possibly irrational.
'Cause here I am, I'm going back on everything I said when
Reflecting on a change in perspective, regretting past statements made without full understanding of the consequences.
I didn't know what I had to lose
Expressing regret for not recognizing the value of what was possessed until facing the possibility of losing it.
I thought that seeing other people was something I wanted
Initially believing that exploring relationships with others was desirable.
But I think I hate it if I'm being honest
Admitting a change of heart, realizing dislike for the idea upon reflection.
It kills me to see you with somebody new
Expressing emotional pain at witnessing the ex-partner with a new romantic interest.
Thought we should see other people
Referencing a previous decision to see other people.
'Til I started seeing other people with you
Contradicting the initial decision as the speaker finds themselves in a similar situation with the ex-partner.
I'm trying hard not to panic and get all up inside of my head
Struggling to control anxiety and intrusive thoughts about the ex-partner's potential future with someone else.
But I don't know if I can
Expressing uncertainty about the ability to maintain composure in the face of emotional turmoil.
'Cause what if I messed up and you fall in love with her and you get married
Worrying about the possibility of the ex-partner falling in love, getting married, and having children with someone new.
And she has your babies
Continuing the worry about potential missed opportunities and irreversible consequences.
What if I missed my chance
Ruminating on the possibility of missing a chance to be with the ex-partner.
I thought that seeing other people was something I wanted
Reiterating the initial belief that exploring other relationships was desired.
But I think I hate it if I'm being honest
Reaffirming the dislike for the idea upon reflection.
It kills me to see you with somebody new
Repeating the emotional pain experienced when witnessing the ex-partner with someone new.
Thought we should see other people
Repeating the reference to the initial decision to see other people.
'Til I started seeing other people with you
Repeating the contradiction of the initial decision as the speaker finds themselves in a similar situation with the ex-partner.
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh, ooh

Ain't it just like me, to want what I can't have?

Is it too late now to take it back?
Pondering the irreversibility of past actions and decisions.
I thought that seeing other people was something I wanted
Repeating the initial belief that exploring other relationships was desired.
But I think I hate it if I'm being honest (I'm being honest)
