Lyrics
Do you only reach out when you feel guilty?
Questioning if the person only communicates when feeling guilty.
Every word in your mouth is covered in pity
Expressing that every spoken word is filled with pity.
I wanna let it slide
Expressing a desire to overlook or ignore a situation.
Not take it to heart
Choosing not to take something personally.
But your satellite is going dark
Metaphorically referring to a communication breakdown or distancing.
I never wanted to watch you
Expressing reluctance or discomfort in observing someone from a distance.
From afar
Desire to be physically closer to the person being observed.
I wanted to be there
Expressing the wish to be present with the person.
Where you are
Desire to be where the person is currently located.
You sent me away just to tell me that you miss me
Feeling rejected as the person sent them away but now expresses missing them.
Oh, it’s hard to hear it
Acknowledging the difficulty in hearing the expression of missing them.
Got nothing to say until you’re drunk and reminiscing
Not wanting to engage in conversation until the person is intoxicated and nostalgic.
I was waiting for you to call back
Anticipation for a return call from the person.
All day, all night
Expressing continuous waiting throughout the day and night.
And it never came
Disappointment as the anticipated call never arrives.
Cancel another plan, I’ll be okay
Deciding to cancel other plans, choosing to be okay alone.
Won’t cry alone again tonight
Resolving not to cry alone again tonight.
I gotta cut these ties before I hang from them
Realization of the need to sever emotional ties to avoid harm.
She asked me why I’m mad at her
Responding to a query about why there's anger towards someone.
The past and present bleed together
Noting the difficulty in distinguishing past and present emotional pain.
I wanna forget it happened
Desire to forget a distressing event and move on.
And I know
Acknowledging a commitment to high expectations.
I’m setting my expectation high
Understanding that setting high expectations may lead to disappointment.
And it’s outta sight, outta mind
Belief in the principle of "out of sight, out of mind."
Sometimes I just feel like
Expressing a recurring feeling of being disliked by the person.
You don’t like me
Contemplating reasons for the perceived dislike.
Stay up counting reasons why
Spending time awake, pondering the reasons behind the perceived dislike.
You sent me away just to tell me that you miss me
Reiteration of feeling rejected despite the person expressing missing them.
Oh, it’s hard to hear it
Reiterating the difficulty in hearing the expression of missing them.
Got nothing to say until you’re drunk and reminiscing
Refraining from conversation until the person is in a nostalgic state.
I was waiting for you to call back
Anticipation for a return call, possibly repeating the waiting experience.
I was waiting for you to call back
Repetition of the anticipation for a return call.
All day, all night
Repetition of the waiting experience with the added sense of being forgotten.
Outta sight, outta mind
Reinforcement of the idea that when out of sight, one is out of mind.
Sometimes I just feel like…
Expression of feeling unliked, possibly a recurring sentiment.
I gotta cut these ties before I hang from them
Reiteration of the necessity to sever emotional ties to prevent harm.
I gotta cut these ties before I hang from them
Repetition of the need to cut ties to avoid negative consequences.
I gotta cut these ties before I -
Final emphasis on the urgency of severing emotional ties.
