Lyrics
You couldn't tell the truth if you wanted to
You have difficulty being honest even if you wanted to be.
I focus on the past, I guess that's why I lose
Your focus on the past contributes to your losses.
But if it's truly meant, I'ma give it time
If something is genuinely meant to be, you're willing to give it time.
'Cause in the end that's what I always do
Your usual approach is to give things time in the end.
We've built these bridges up just to burn them down
Relationships have been built only to be deliberately destroyed.
I suffer in your silence, but it feels so loud
You suffer in silence, though the pain is palpable.
I give my everything to try and make you proud
You give your all to make someone proud.
But then another wave comes crashing down
Unexpected challenges or difficulties continue to arise.
Tell me why you do this for?
Questioning the motives behind someone's actions.
I'm face first in the dirt what are you waiting for?
You are in a difficult or challenging situation, wondering why.
You moved on, I guess we're history
The relationship has ended, and now it's part of the past.
Now I've only got the absence that you left behind for me
The emotional impact of the person's absence lingers.
I'm growing so tired of this
Feeling fatigue from the ongoing situation.
You caused the scars upon my wrist
Physical and emotional scars caused by the person.
While he's in between your hips now
The person is now involved with someone else intimately.
Oh
Expression of a feeling or realization.
While he's in between your hips now
Reiteration of the person's intimate involvement with someone else.
Oh
-While he's in between your hips now
-You couldn't tell the truth if you wanted to
Reiteration of the difficulty in being truthful.
I focus on the past, I know that's why I lose
Admitting that focusing on the past contributes to losing.
It isn't truly meant, you love to waste my time
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of feelings.
Don't try to make me happy with another lie
Rejecting false attempts to make you happy with lies.
I'm tired of this chip that's on my shoulder
Expressing weariness and frustration.
I've accepted that it's over
Acceptance of the end of the relationship.
He's the one you want
Recognizing the person's preference for someone else.
I can tell by how you vaunt
Observing the person's pride in their choice.
But girl we've got some chemistry
Acknowledging a shared connection or attraction.
I don't know what's gotten into me
Feeling confused or altered by emotions.
You're fogging up my reasoning
Emotions clouding rational thinking.
But now the truth sits clear with me
Realizing the truth about the situation.
Oh
Expression of a feeling or realization.
Oh
-Oh
-We've built these bridges up just to burn them down
Repetition of the theme of building and burning bridges.
I suffer in your silence, but it feels so loud
Experiencing the loudness of suffering in silence.
I give my everything to try and make you proud
Continuing to give everything for the sake of pride.
But then another wave comes crashing down
Despite efforts, facing another emotional setback.
