On Read
Love's Dilemma: On Read
Lyrics
I should have left you on read
Regretting not ignoring the message, leaving it unread
But I can't help myself I said I love you instead
Expressing love despite intending otherwise
I should have played it cool.
Wishing to act more aloof or detached
But I can't help myself that's what lover boys do
Feeling compelled to act in a way typical of someone in love
All my insecurities,
Acknowledging personal doubts or lack of confidence
I'm so god damn sure of these
Feeling strongly certain about these doubts
I wish I wasn't always tired all the time.
Expressing exhaustion or fatigue
All this time spent on my phone
Spending considerable time using a phone
Down another rabbit hole
Getting lost in distractions or irrelevant pursuits
I wish I wasn't always tired all the time
Reiterating a sense of tiredness or fatigue
I should have left you on read
Repeating the regret of not leaving the message unread
I should have left you on read
Emphasizing the missed opportunity to ignore the message
I should have left you on read,
Continuing to emphasize the regret of not leaving the message unread
But I can't help myself I said I love you instead
Expressing love despite wanting to act differently
I should have played it safe
Desiring to take a safer or less risky approach
I always over think every word I say
Tending to overanalyze words spoken
I should have played it cool
Expressing a wish to appear more composed
But I'm not like your friends at your fashion school
Highlighting differences from the person's friends
All my insecurities,
Reiterating personal doubts or lack of confidence
I'm so god damn sure of these
Being strongly certain about these doubts
I wish I wasn't always tired all the time.
Reiterating a sense of tiredness or fatigue
All this time spent on my phone
Continuing to spend significant time on the phone
Down another rabbit hole
Getting caught up in distractions or unproductive activities
I wish I wasn't always tired all the time
Reiterating a sense of tiredness or fatigue
I should have left you on read
Repeating the regret of not leaving the message unread
I should have left you on read
Emphasizing the missed opportunity to ignore the message
I should have left you on read,
Continuing to emphasize the regret of not leaving the message unread
But I can't help myself I said I love you instead
Expressing love despite intending otherwise
