Lyrics

Yeah

Expression of agreement or acknowledgment

Oh oh ooh

Expressive sounds, possibly conveying emotion or emphasis

Yeah yeah

Repetition of agreement or acknowledgment

Yeah yeah

-

I'm scared that you gon' move on

Fear of the other person moving on in the relationship

I'm scared that I hurt you too many times

Acknowledging the fear of having hurt the other person multiple times

I can't help it you're too gone

Feeling that the other person has emotionally distanced themselves

You predicted all of this you was right

Acknowledgment of the other person predicting the current situation

I told you it was the way I am

Admitting the self-awareness of one's own nature

And thats why I don't deserve your love, baby

Feeling unworthy of the other person's love due to personal characteristics

I thought you wanted a better man

Misinterpretation of the other person's desire for a better partner

But to you I was enough, baby

Believing that despite flaws, one was enough for the other person

Yeah yeah

Repetition of the belief that one was enough for the other person

Yeah yeah yeah

But to you I was enough, baby

And I don't deserve your love, baby

Reiteration of not deserving the other person's love

Hey yeah yeah hey

Expressing emotional turmoil and acknowledging toxic behavior

No no (Yeah)

Ooh yeah

Its toxic that I lock this part of my heart

I knew we wouldn't make it far

I told you it was the way I am

And I never wanna love again

Expressing a desire to avoid experiencing love again

Cause I been missing us again

Feeling a sense of loss and longing for the past relationship
