Lyrics
I know you don't care about me like how I do for you
I feel that you don't have the same level of care for me as I do for you.
Now you're driving across the country, maybe to Malibu
You are currently on a road trip, possibly heading to Malibu.
You'll see all these pretty people and meet somebody new
During your journey, you might encounter attractive people and form new connections.
While I'm at home in Massachusetts
While I'm in Massachusetts, thinking about you.
Caught up on the idea of you…
I'm preoccupied with thoughts about you and our relationship.
I'm gonna be honest,
Expressing honesty.
And I'm pretty sure you guessed it ,
Confirming that the listener probably anticipated the honesty.
I didn't tell you everything I feel you need to know
I haven't shared everything I believe you should know about my feelings.
But I wonder if it's worth it
Questioning if the effort is worthwhile.
Everything I try to do to move on isn't working
Attempts to move on from the relationship are ineffective.
I wish I could let you know
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings.
But you made it clear when you went ghost
Your disappearance made it clear that communication is not wanted.
If we're friends, then why does it feel impossible to talk to you?
If we're friends, why is it difficult to talk?
I'm curious, what did I do?
Expressing curiosity about the cause of the difficulty.
I know you don't care about me like how I do for you
Reiteration of the perceived lack of mutual care.
Now you're driving across the country, maybe to Malibu
Repeating the theme of the road trip to Malibu.
You'll see all these pretty people and meet somebody new
Anticipating new connections during the journey.
While I'm at home in Massachusetts
Reflecting on thoughts while being geographically distant.
Caught up on the idea of you…
Continued preoccupation with thoughts about the person.
There's so much I wanna say
Expressing a desire to communicate more.
Maybe it's selfish , but I still feel the same
Acknowledging potential selfishness but maintaining consistent feelings.
This time it's different now
Suggesting a change in the dynamics of the relationship.
'cause it's all making sense somehow
Things are becoming clearer and more understandable.
I hope you see all the beauty that I see in you
Expressing hope that the person recognizes their own beauty.
And I hope that you're happier
Wishing happiness for the person.
'Cause you deserve the universe
Acknowledging the person's deserving nature.
And if we're friends, then why does it feel impossible to talk to you?
Repeating the difficulty in talking despite being friends.
I'm curious, what did I do?
Reiterating curiosity about the cause of the communication challenge.
I know you don't care about me like how I do for you
Restating the perceived imbalance in caring.
Now you're driving across the country, maybe to Malibu
Repeating the theme of the journey to Malibu.
You'll see all these pretty people and meet somebody new
Reiterating the potential for new connections during the trip.
While I'm at home in Massachusetts
Reflecting on thoughts while being geographically distant.
Caught up on the idea of you…
Continued preoccupation with thoughts about the person.
