Lonely Tonight
Emotional Turmoil at 3AM: A Tale of Loneliness and Longing
Lyrics
I'm fucked up drunk
The speaker feels heavily intoxicated.
3 In the morning
It's 3 AM, indicating the late hour of the contact.
You just had to Hit me up
The person the speaker is addressing initiated contact.
Ask me what I'm doing
The contact wants to know the speaker's current activity.
And I fall
The speaker succumbs to the familiar habits or behaviors.
Right back to my old ways
Returning to past actions or patterns despite intending not to.
Told myself I'd leave you alone but I'm too lonely tonight
The speaker acknowledges their loneliness despite intending to avoid the person.
I'm too lonely tonight
Reiterating the intense loneliness felt at the moment.
I'm too lonely tonight
-I'm too lonely tonight
-I'm too lonely to
The loneliness is overwhelming.
I don't wanna be friends
The speaker doesn't desire a platonic relationship.
Only hit you up when I'm drunk on the weekends
They only contact the person when inebriated and during weekends.
Jumping off the deep end
Engaging in risky behavior or situations.
But I can't even lie love it every time we swim
Despite the risks, the speaker enjoys the experience with this person.
Even though I'm sinking
Feeling overwhelmed despite the enjoyment.
I be going deep in
The speaker dives deeply into the relationship or interaction.
Wake up in the morning
Regretting actions upon sobering up.
Fuck was I thinking
Reflecting on the poor decisions made.
This is the last time just like last time
Expressing a commitment to stop repeating this behavior.
Swear this the last time that I'm drinking
Promising to stop drinking, associating it with the problematic behavior.
I need you like a hole in my chest
Describing a lack of emotional need for the person.
Did me the worst still I hope for the best
Despite being hurt by the person, the speaker still hopes for positive outcomes.
Know you no good but you know me the best
The person understands the speaker deeply.
Know what you need and you know the address
Knowing where to find each other despite intending to leave afterward.
Just for the night I'll be gone by the next
Committing to a brief encounter, leaving soon.
I know it ain't right but you already left
Acknowledging the wrongness of the situation despite the person already leaving.
Can't keep this alcohol all to myself
Desiring the person's presence to cope with alcohol.
Baby come help
Asking for the person's presence to alleviate the speaker's state.
Fucked up I'm faded
Feeling messed up and intoxicated.
I love you I hate it
Expressing conflicting emotions towards the person.
I'm hurt and I'm jaded
Feeling hurt and resentful.
So complicated
Describing the complexity of the relationship.
I'm stumbling slurring the words that I'm saying
The speaker's speech is impaired due to intoxication.
I just hope you understand me
Hoping for understanding despite the condition.
I can't keep trying to turn this into something that it can't be
Realizing the impossibility of changing the nature of the relationship.
I'm fucked up drunk
Repetition of being intoxicated at 3 AM.
3 In the morning
Receiving contact at a late hour.
You just had to Hit me up
Similar to line #3, asking about the speaker's activities.
Ask me what I'm doing
Repeating the inquiry about the speaker's actions.
And I fall
Repeating the act of succumbing to past habits.
Right back to my old ways
Reverting to old behaviors despite initial intentions.
Told myself I'd leave you alone but I'm too lonely tonight
Reiterating the struggle to avoid the person due to loneliness.
I'm too lonely tonight
Continued emphasis on intense loneliness.
I'm too lonely tonight
-I'm too lonely tonight
-Too lonely to
Reiterating the overwhelming feeling of loneliness.
