Lyrics

Why my friends better boyfriends than you

Expressing dissatisfaction with the current boyfriend and praising friends for being better partners.

Do the shit that you're supposed to

Highlighting the boyfriend's failure to fulfill expected responsibilities or commitments.

I'm overthinking I'm worried it's something I did

Indicating anxiety and self-doubt about potential mistakes causing relationship issues.

Cause there you are in a bad mood again

Observing the boyfriend in a recurring bad mood, suggesting relationship strain.

I brush it off cause I try to pretend

Choosing to ignore the boyfriend's negative mood, attempting to maintain a positive facade.

I don't compare you to everyone else in my head

Stating the intention not to compare the boyfriend to others despite mental comparisons.

Used to be the little things

Reflecting on the importance of small gestures in the past.

Yeah you tried until you got me

Acknowledging the boyfriend's effort to win affection but hinting at a change in behavior.

I gave you my everything

Conveying a past commitment of giving everything to the relationship.

Then the trying started stopping

Noticing a decline in effort from the boyfriend, a shift from trying to complacency.

When did you get so cold

Questioning the boyfriend's emotional distance and colder demeanor.

Was it all just for show

Raising doubts about the authenticity of the boyfriend's previous actions.

Cause it feels like we're on we're on cruise control oh-oh oh-oh

Expressing the feeling of being in a stagnant or controlled relationship, lacking spontaneity.

My head and my heart both know

Acknowledging the awareness of the need for change both emotionally and mentally.

That it's time to let you go

Accepting that it's time to end the relationship, recognizing the necessity for a new chapter.

Cause it feels like we're on we're on cruise control oh-oh oh-oh oh

Reiterating the sense of being in a relationship on autopilot, lacking genuine connection.

Is it a phase or is it the end

Questioning whether the current situation is a temporary phase or a definitive end.

Worth the wait or am I wasting

Weighing the value of waiting for improvement against the possibility of wasting time.

All of my time always making excuses for you (for you)

Expressing frustration about constantly making excuses for the partner's behavior.

Yeah the world keeps pulling us away

Noting external pressures that strain the relationship but not actively addressing them.

But we don't stop to see the signs

Questioning if current actions are leading to a regrettable mistake in the relationship.

Am I making a mistake

Raising concerns about providing unwarranted support or allowances to the partner.

Am I giving you a free ride

Reflecting on the boyfriend's emotional detachment and questioning its legitimacy.

When did you get so cold

Repeating the query about when the partner became emotionally distant or "cold."

Was it all just for show

Revisiting the suspicion that the partner's previous actions were merely a performance.

Cause it feels like we're on we're on cruise control oh-oh oh-oh

Reiterating the sense of being in a controlled relationship, lacking genuine emotional connection.

My head and my heart both know

Acknowledging the simultaneous understanding of the need to end the relationship.

That it's time to let you go

Reiterating the realization that it's time to let go, indicating emotional readiness for a breakup.

Cause it feels like we're on we're on cruise control oh-oh oh-oh oh

Emphasizing the feeling of being in a relationship with limited autonomy or spontaneity.

Ooooo

Using vocalization to convey a mix of emotions, possibly a sigh or a sound of contemplation.

I'm running on empty

Expressing emotional exhaustion or feeling drained in the relationship.

Ooooo

Highlighting the partner's emotional absence despite being physically present.

But you're barely with me

Pondering when the partner became emotionally distant or unavailable.

When did you get so cold

Repeating the question about the partner's emotional detachment for emphasis.

Was it all just for show

Revisiting doubts about the authenticity of the partner's previous actions in the relationship.

Cause it feels like we're on we're on cruise control oh-oh oh-oh

Reiterating the feeling of being in a relationship lacking genuine emotional connection.

My head and my heart both know

Acknowledging simultaneous awareness of the need to let go, indicating emotional readiness.

That it's time to let you go

Reiterating the acknowledgment that it's time to end the relationship and move forward.

Cause it feels like we're on we're on cruise control oh-oh oh-oh oh

Emphasizing the sense of being in a relationship with limited emotional depth or spontaneity.

Why my friends better boyfriends than you

Repeating the initial dissatisfaction, asserting that friends make better boyfriends than the current partner.
