Lyrics
It's getting harder to ignore
Expressing difficulty in ignoring a situation.
Been here so many times before yeah
Emphasizing familiarity with the current situation.
I keep on falling back in
Recurring involvement in a situation despite efforts to avoid it.
Like a chemical reaction
Describing the situation as a chemical reaction, possibly implying a strong, involuntary attraction.
Just as I get you out my head
Struggling to remove thoughts about someone from the mind.
You find a way to crawl back in
Despite attempts to move on, the person keeps returning to the speaker's thoughts.
It's getting harder to ignore it
Reiterating the growing difficulty in ignoring the situation.
But I always want more yeah

Cause I'm just like you
Comparing oneself to the disliked person.
Let's call it what it is

And you won't save me
Not expecting help or rescue from the shared difficulties.

Looking through my phone cause you think you can find
Facing intrusion and suspicion, possibly in a relationship.
