Party Person
Unveiling Heartbreak: Behind the Façade of Party Person by Nicole Canaan
Lyrics
You're a social butterfly
You are very social and outgoing.
I'm just your side piece tonight
I'm just someone you're with casually tonight, not a main focus.
But parties were never really my thing anyways
I don't enjoy parties; they are not my preference.
And boys like you only think I'm pretty in a drunken haze
You only find me attractive when you're intoxicated.
Did you realize you only liked me when we weren't sober
Realization that your attraction is only present when not sober.
Did you realize that the party's over
Acknowledgment that the party atmosphere has ended.
Your friends went home
Your friends have left; it's just the two of us now.
It's just us alone
We are alone together after the party.
You're so useless when you're not stoned
You're uninteresting when not under the influence.
I'll leave you alone
I'll give you space if that's what you desire.
If that's what you want, then tell me
Asking for clarity on whether space is needed.
If that's what you need
If you need space, I'm willing to provide it.
I'll give it to you
Willingness to give what is needed for the relationship.
Cause I'm so over it
Expressing being tired of the situation.
I know what you did
Awareness of past actions or events.
I know your reasoning
Understanding the reasoning behind actions.
So I'm ringing my head
Reflecting on the situation with confusion.
For all of the reasons why we shouldn't be
Thinking about reasons why the relationship shouldn't continue.
Like one, you're already gone
One reason is that you have already moved on.
Can't seem to move on
Struggling to let go and move forward.
So please remind me why
Seeking a reminder of why the relationship ended.
Parties were never really my thing anyways
Reiteration that parties are not enjoyable for the speaker.
And boys like you only think I'm pretty in a drunken haze
Re-emphasis that attraction is only apparent when intoxicated.
Did you realize you only liked me when we weren't sober
Reiteration of the realization that attraction is fleeting.
Did you realize that the party's over
Confirmation that the party atmosphere has ended.
Your friends went home
Reiteration that friends have left; it's just the two of them.
It's just us alone
Restating that they are alone together.
You're so useless when you're not, not
You lack interest or value when not under the influence.
Oh, did I ever mean anything to you
Questioning if the speaker ever held significance for the listener.
Boy, did I ever mean anything to you
Seeking confirmation on the importance of the speaker in the past.
