Told You
Unveiling Heartache: Secrets, Lies, and Midnight Confessions
Lyrics
What if I told you I miss you
Expressing the possibility of confessing a feeling of missing someone.
And I know I've been with your best friend
Acknowledging a past involvement with the listener's best friend.
I like to play pretend
Admitting to enjoying make-believe or fantasy situations.
And I kinda hate the people that we knew
Expressing dislike for people from their shared past.
I bet none of them told you
Suggesting that others may not have informed the listener about certain things.
I went looking for you
Indicating a search for the listener.
After everything
Reflecting on events that occurred.
And I know it all backfired
Acknowledging that previous actions had negative consequences.
We got caught in a bad time
Describing a challenging period they went through together.
But you told me you'd try
Recalling a promise made by the listener to try.
This doesn't look like trying
Doubting the sincerity of the listener's efforts.
And I think that I'm alright
Feeling emotionally stable despite challenges.
But I'm pacing at midnight
Being restless and anxious late at night.
Started falling in love
Narrating the experience of falling in love.
Then you went into hiding
Noticing the listener withdrawing or becoming distant.
What if I told you I need you
Expressing a need for the listener.
But I don't wanna see you again
Stating a reluctance to meet the listener again.
I hate being friends
Disliking the idea of remaining friends.
And I'm kinda over keeping this secret
Revealing a desire to stop keeping a certain secret.
And I've been re-reading our texts
Reviewing past text messages.
Should've known she was next
Expressing regret for not realizing something sooner.
And I know it all backfired
Acknowledging negative consequences of actions.
I caught you in a bad lie
Discovering a lie told by the listener.
Then I called you and cried
Calling the listener and crying after the discovery.
And you just sat in silence
Experiencing the listener's silence in response.
And I think that I'm alright
Feeling emotionally stable despite challenges (repeated).
Yelled at you 'cuz it felt right
Yelling at the listener as an expression of justified anger.
Now you sit to the side
The listener being pushed to the sidelines.
And I'm so sick of fighting
Expressing frustration with ongoing conflict.
And we ran through every stop sign
Recalling past reckless behavior or decisions.
Now we're running out of time
Feeling a sense of urgency or limited time.
Living or slowly dying
Reflecting on the choice between living fully or facing gradual decline.
That's for you to decide
Leaving the decision about their relationship to the listener.
What if I told you I miss you
Reiterating the feeling of missing the listener.
And I know I've been with your best friend
Repeating a past involvement with the listener's best friend (repeated).
I like to play pretend
Repeating a fondness for pretending.
And I kinda hate the people that we knew
Repeating dislike for people from their shared past (repeated).
I bet none of them told you
Suggesting that others may not have informed the listener about certain things (repeated).
I went looking for you
Continuing the search for the listener.
After everything
Reflecting on events that occurred (repeated).
After everything
Concluding the narrative with a repetition of the phrase "After everything."
