Lyrics
These nights
Expressing a recurring feeling during the nighttime.
I'm always finding myself always in the same place
Feeling stuck or trapped in a familiar location.
It feels like somethin' ain't right
Sensing that something is wrong or unsettling.
It don't feel like the same way
Not experiencing emotions in the same way as before.
Mm but I guess you gotta go
Acknowledging the necessity to move on.
Go, go
Emphasizing the need to leave or move forward.
Making promises that you can't keep
Criticizing the making of unkept promises.
Don't make them in the first place, oh
Suggesting it's better not to make promises initially.
And it's more than the surface 'cause this got deep
Exploring a deeper, more meaningful connection.
Staying for the wrong reasons, oh
Remaining in a relationship for the wrong reasons.
'Cause I
Expressing personal feelings or experiences.
I wanted you bad
Expressing a strong desire for someone.
But now I don't want you back oh
No longer desiring to reconcile or get back together.
Don't know what your issue is
Expressing confusion about the other person's problems.
I'm done with this
Declaring the end of dealing with a situation.
I just need the distancing
Expressing a need for emotional distance.
It's hard to let go
Highlighting the difficulty of moving on.
'Cause it's over
Stating that the relationship is officially over.
'Cause it's over
Reiterating the finality of the relationship.
These nights
Repeating the theme of searching for the right person.
I've been trying to find myself the right one
Continuing the quest for the ideal partner.
'Cause I've been shut out too many times
Expressing a history of being rejected or ignored.
Remember when I said oh girl you were my ecstasy
Recalling a previous declaration of love and pleasure.
I must've lied, girl, 'cause you were none more but stress for me
Admitting that the past relationship caused stress.
And now you're blowing up my phone like you did shit for me
Noticing unwanted communication from the ex-partner.
'Cause it's the type of shit that you would do but hate to see
Commenting on the irony of the ex-partner's actions.
Oh
Expressing frustration or disbelief.
Don't try to resolve
Advising against trying to solve problems.
Our problems, just leave them alone
Encouraging the separation of unresolved issues.
Cause I've been tired of you oh
Expressing fatigue or weariness with the relationship.
Making promises that you can't keep
Reiterating the issue of unkept promises.
Don't make them in the first place, oh
Reiterating the importance of avoiding promises.
And it's more than the surface 'cause this got deep
Emphasizing the depth of the relationship's problems.
Staying for the wrong reasons, oh
Acknowledging staying in the relationship for the wrong reasons.
'Cause I
Repeating the desire for the person in the past.
I wanted you bad
Affirming the previous strong desire for the person.
But now I don't want you back oh
Declaring the lack of interest in getting back together.
Don't know what your issue is
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding.
I'm done with this
Stating the conclusion of dealing with a situation.
I just need the distancing
Reiterating the need for emotional distance.
It's hard to let go
Highlighting the difficulty of letting go.
'Cause it's over
Affirming the finality of the relationship.
'Cause it's over
Reiterating the absolute end of the relationship.
