Lyrics
She was a girl that I used to know
Refers to a past acquaintance, a female the singer used to know.
We were together just for show
They were in a relationship that seemed outwardly affectionate but lacked depth.
Didn't even know her boyfriend
The singer wasn't aware of her having a boyfriend.
Didn't even know 'till the end of it
The singer realized this fact only toward the end of their interaction.
I hear you talk about him all the time
The girl frequently spoke about her boyfriend, causing jealousy in the singer.
And for some reason I'm the jealous type
The singer feels possessive and envious despite not being in a committed relationship.
But I don't know if this feels right
Uncertainty about the appropriateness of their interaction.
I'm with somebody I don't even like
The singer is currently with someone they don't genuinely like.
So I'm spending time by myself
Alone, contemplating thoughts to distract from the situation.
Trying to think about something else
Trying to divert thoughts away from the past relationship.
But I remember the times you told me
Recalling moments when the girl professed love to the singer.
You love me, you love me
Repeated expressions of affection from the girl, questioning their authenticity.
'Cause it didn't feel real
The proclaimed love felt insincere or lacking in genuineness.
It didn't feel real
Reiteration that the love didn't feel genuine or authentic.
No, it didn't feel real
Emphasis on the lack of authenticity in the expressed love.
It didn't feel real
Reaffirmation that the love didn't feel real.
When did you say you love me?
Asking when exactly the girl professed love to the singer.
And when did you say you cried?
Asking when she displayed emotions such as crying.
'Cause I can't remember a thing that happened last night
Memory lapse regarding the events of the previous night.
Now we're just friends
They are now just friends after the relationship ended.
But we can still pretend like we're together
Suggesting the possibility of pretending to be in a relationship despite being friends.
Pretend like we're together
Reiterating the idea of pretending to be together despite being friends.
We can make amends
Implying the potential for reconciliation despite their current status.
And we can still pretend like we're together
Reiterating the possibility of pretending to be together despite the current situation.
Pretend like we're together
Restating the idea of pretending to be in a relationship.
But it won't feel real
Despite pretending, the emotions won't feel genuine or real.
It won't feel real
Reiteration that the pretend relationship won't feel authentic.
No, it won't feel real
Emphasizing that the pretended emotions won't be genuine.
It won't feel real
Restating that the pretense won't feel authentic or real.
When did you say you love me?
Repetition of asking when the girl expressed love.
And when did you say you cried?
Reiteration of asking when emotional moments, like crying, occurred.
'Cause I can't remember a thing that happened last night
Reiterating the memory lapse regarding events from the previous night.
When did you say you love me?
Repetition of asking when the girl expressed love.
And when did you say you cried?
Reiteration of asking when emotional moments, like crying, occurred.
'Cause I can't remember a thing that happened last night
