Lyrics
Hey, I think you'd like this song I found
Initiating a conversation about a song the speaker found.
It's better if you play it loud
Suggesting that the song is best enjoyed at a high volume.
But knowing you, you've already heard it somehow
Assuming the listener is already familiar with the song.
Bet you're working late, it's Saturday
Speculating that the listener is working late on a Saturday.
Hope your brother's doing okay
Expressing concern for the listener's brother.
I still think about you every day
Admitting persistent thoughts about the listener.
Who knew the letter from New York would be the last good thing?
Reflecting on a letter from New York as the last positive memory.
Who knew we'd fall apart so easily?
Expressing surprise at the ease with which the relationship fell apart.
I tried to be enough
Acknowledging an effort to be sufficient in the relationship.
But I was just too much
Recognizing personal shortcomings as being too overwhelming.
I was too much for you
Acknowledging that the speaker's intensity was too much for the listener.
I loved you then, I love you now
Affirming love for the listener then and now.
Behind the wheel I'm breaking down
Describing emotional breakdown while driving.
It's my fault but you said you'd always be around
Accepting responsibility for the relationship's difficulties.
Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe
Expressing moments of feeling suffocated or overwhelmed.
I wonder if you hate me
Wondering if the listener harbors resentment.
I know I miss you more than you'll ever miss me
Affirming a deep sense of missing the listener.
Who knew you'd give me scars after mending my heart?
Reflecting on receiving emotional scars despite previous healing.
Who knew one day you'd be as far as the stars?
Expressing surprise at the distance between them.
I tried to be enough
Reiterating the attempt to be enough in the relationship.
But I was just too much
Acknowledging personal intensity as a challenge for the listener.
I was too much for you
Repeating the idea that the speaker was too much for the listener.
If we were strangers on the street
Pondering whether recognition would occur if they were strangers.
Would you recognize me?
Asking if the listener would still recognize the speaker in a different context.
And if your heart betrayed its beat
Questioning the enduring love if the listener's heart changed.
Would you say you still love me?
Pondering if love would persist despite changes in the listener's feelings.
If we were strangers on the street
Repeating the scenario of being strangers on the street.
Would you recognize me?
Reiterating the question of recognition in a different context.
And if your heart betrayed its beat
Repeating the concern about changes in the listener's heart.
Would you say you still love me?
Reiterating the question of whether love would endure.
Who knew you'd be the last good thing?
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of the listener being the last positive aspect.
