Lyrics

50 when I needed 100

Expressing a desire for more support or effort when only half was given during a time of need.

One foot in, the other out the door,

Describing a state of indecision or hesitation, being partly committed and partly detached from a situation.

Of my new apartment

Referencing a new living space, possibly symbolizing a fresh start or change in the speaker's life.

Im so glad, that I never went to yours

Expressing relief for not visiting someone else's place, suggesting satisfaction with the speaker's own decisions.

I was kinda half in also,

Acknowledging a partial emotional involvement in a situation.

Still got kinda sad from the false hopes, no shows

Feeling sadness due to unfulfilled expectations and disappointments, possibly related to unmet promises.

Maybe I was way more sad than it seemed

Reflecting on the possibility that the speaker's sadness was more profound than it appeared to others.

But I didn't want you to know that I'd been

Choosing not to reveal the extent of emotional struggle to someone else.

Staying up til 3 in the morning

Describing late-night periods of waiting and anticipation, possibly for communication from a specific person.

Hoping it'd be you if the phone rang

Expressing a desire for a specific person to be the one calling on the phone.

Took some time but I can't believe I,

Realizing the speaker's change in perspective over time.

Used to wish that you were

Recalling a past desire for someone's presence.

Laying in my bed right beside me

Expressing a longing for physical closeness with someone who is absent.

I can't sleep without you, its funny

Noting the humorous realization that the speaker used to struggle to sleep without the mentioned person.

I laugh about it now with my friends, how I

Sharing past struggles with friends, emphasizing personal growth and change.

Used to wish that you were, here

Reiterating the past desire for someone's presence.

Pretty boy you got away with

Complimenting someone's ability to avoid consequences or responsibility.

More than what it'd usually take

Acknowledging the ability of the person to escape the consequences of their actions.

You went ghost and I went crazy

Describing a period of emotional distress when the person disappeared from the speaker's life.

But under wraps just incase,

Maintaining a composed exterior while concealing emotional turmoil.

Cause I didn't want you to know

Expressing a desire to keep emotional struggles private.

That every time you didn't show I'd get emotional

Highlighting the emotional impact of someone's absence and the effort to hide it.

I would just try to play it cool so that you didn't see

Adopting a calm demeanor to conceal vulnerability from the person causing emotional turmoil.

The control you had over me

Acknowledging the influence and control the person had over the speaker.

But I'm happier now

Expressing contentment and happiness in the present, indicating personal growth and recovery.

I can't believe,

Expressing disbelief at the positive change in emotions.

That I'll never be

Reflecting on the speaker's permanent state of not staying up late in sadness.

Staying up til 3 in the morning

Recalling late-night periods of waiting and anticipation, possibly for communication from a specific person.

Hoping it'd be you if the phone rang

Expressing a desire for a specific person to be the one calling on the phone.

Took some time but I can't believe I,

Realizing the speaker's change in perspective over time.

Used to wish that you were

Recalling a past desire for someone's presence.

Laying in my bed right beside me

Expressing a longing for physical closeness with someone who is absent.

I can't sleep without you, its funny

Noting the humorous realization that the speaker used to struggle to sleep without the mentioned person.

I laugh about it now with my friends, how I

Sharing past struggles with friends, emphasizing personal growth and change.

Used to wish that you were, here

Reiterating the past desire for someone's presence.
