Lyrics
Where do I go from here?
Expressing uncertainty about the future and seeking direction.
I just don't know where to go
Feeling lost and unsure of the next steps in life.
But if you really cared about me
Questioning the sincerity of someone's care or love.
Why'd you leave?
Raising the question of why the person left.
Why'd you leave?
Repeating the emotional impact of the departure.
I'm coasting on the freeway
Symbolizing moving forward but feeling directionless.
I don't know where to go (Where do I go?)
Reiterating the sense of confusion about where to go.
These pills don't seem to work when you're here
Expressing the ineffectiveness of coping mechanisms (pills) in the person's presence.
I'm doing a little better without you here
Claiming improvement in the absence of the person.
Just stay away this time
Desiring distance and urging the person to stay away.
Stay away (Stay away from me)
Repeating the plea for the person to stay away.
I do so good until you come around
Acknowledging personal struggles when the person is present.
You built me
Highlighting the role of the person in shaping the individual.
You wrecked me
Contrasting the positive influence of building with the negative impact of wrecking.
Do even you care this time?
Questioning the person's concern or care in the current situation.
Did you even care this time?
Reiterating doubt about the person's past actions and emotions.
Back then I needed you then
Reflecting on past dependency on the person.
You could of told me the truth
Expressing a desire for honesty and transparency from the person.
If you really cared about me
Repeating the question about the sincerity of the person's care.
Why'd you leave?
Rephrasing the inquiry into the reason for the person's departure.
Why'd you leave?
Repeating the emotional impact of the departure.
Where'd you go?
Asking about the person's current location or state.
Thoughts run through my head
Describing inner turmoil while in the person's company.
As I'm walking with you
Sharing experiences of improvement without the person's presence.
I'm doing a little better without you here
Reiterating the plea for the person to stay away.
Just stay away this time
Repeating the desire for distance from the person.
Stay away (Stay away from me)
Emphasizing the challenge of maintaining well-being in the person's presence.
I do so good until you come around
Acknowledging personal struggles when the person is present.
You built me
Highlighting the role of the person in shaping the individual.

Did I matter to you?
Pondering the significance of the individual to the person.
I'm doing better here
Claiming personal improvement in various aspects of life.
I'm doing better there
Repeating the assertion of personal progress and well-being.
I'm finally looking at the stars at night
Expressing a newfound appreciation for life's beauty without the person.
It was something that I never did with you
Recalling a shared activity that was never experienced with the person.
You said, you said it was a waste of my time
Referencing the person's past dismissal of the individual's pursuits.
What I'm trying to say to you
Attempting to convey a message to the person.
I don't want to see you

Kick rocks

Just answer this for me

Did you even care?
