Lyrics
It's only been a week
Expressing a short duration since a significant event.
Since you've said I wasn't the one, huh
Acknowledging rejection and questioning its validity.
But it feels like more
Feeling the emotional weight makes time seem longer.
'Cause without you
Highlighting the impact of the person's absence on time.
Time don't fly, it don't even run
Emphasizing that time doesn't progress smoothly without the person.
Why, why, why?
Expressing confusion and questioning the nature of the relationship's conclusion.
Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye?
-Why, why, why?
-After everything we've been through
-Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?
-Just a thing of the past, the thing that you leave behind
Viewing the relationship as a thing left in the past.
Just a thing that you leave
Contemplating if the goodbye was sincere and urging honesty.
Unless you didn't mean it
-Say what you mean
-I'll be there if you provide that for me
Seeking answers and expressing emotional distress.
You don't need to be sad or sorry
-I need an answer, I'm right here
-I need it, I'm dyin', baby
-Gave you the best of me
Reflecting on giving the best in the relationship but feeling hurt and wanting to hide.
And you got the better of me, baby
-Took your insecurities and now they're mine (uh, yeah)
-Now they're mine
-I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby
-To keep you on my side and that's not right, so
-Why, why, why?
Repeating the confusion and questioning the end of the relationship.
Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye?
-Why, why, why?
-After everything we've been through
-Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?
-Time doesn't heal all wounds
Rejecting the idea that time heals all wounds, emphasizing personal agency in making rules.
I don't care what they say (I don't care what they say)
-When it's me and you, I can make my own rules
-The rules that we play by (the rules that we play)
-But I won't let myself ever play the fool
-If it's you who I'm fooled by
Committing not to be fooled in the future.
So I need an answer
Reiterating the need for answers and expressing desperation.
I need it, I'm dyin', baby
-Gave you the best of me
Revisiting the impact of insecurities and the desire to hide for the relationship.
And you got the better of me, baby
-Took your insecurities and now they're mine (uh, yeah)
-Now they're mine
-I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby
-To keep you on my side and that's not right, so
-Why, why, why? (Why, why, why, why?)
Repeating the questioning and expressing disbelief at the relationship's end.
Is this all I am to you? (Yeah) Is this all I am? A goodbye? (A goodbye?)
-Why, why, why? (Why?)
-After everything we've been through (we've been through)
-Is this how it ends? (Huh?) With a goodbye?
-With a goodbye
Emphasizing the finality of the goodbye.
(I'm dyin', baby)
Repeating the desperation and highlighting the short duration since the goodbye.
(I need it, I'm dyin', baby)
-(I need it, I'm dyin', baby)
-Yeah, it's only been a week, huh
-Oh, oh
-It's only been a week, oh, oh-oh
-With a goodbye? Goodbye?
Ending with a poignant repetition of the word "goodbye."
