Lyrics
Left left left right
Military-style marching commands, possibly symbolizing a regimented or controlled relationship.
You fooled me once I let you fool me twice
Expressing being deceived twice and the consequences of trusting someone who fooled the speaker.
Filled up my head with those beautiful lies
Accusation of being fed false, attractive narratives that influenced the speaker's thoughts.
I got caught up in your Riptide
Metaphorical reference to being pulled into a destructive force or situation.
Hey ya just know I'm smiling through the pain
Despite pain, the speaker maintains a façade of happiness.
Stay up I've been having trouble sleeping nowadays
Struggling with insomnia, suggesting emotional turmoil.
Fed up this feeling I got still hasn't fade
Frustration with lingering negative emotions.
And I'm over here still wishing that you would change
Desire for the person to change, indicating unfulfilled expectations.
Wishing you felt the same but all you do is play
Expressing a wish for mutual feelings, but the other person only plays games.
Wishing you look my way but you don't notice me
Yearning for attention that goes unnoticed.
Factory reset my heart
Symbolic act of resetting emotions after heartbreak.
And you ain't even look back you just left me in the dark
Feeling abandoned without any consideration from the other person.
Wishing that I-I had a say in who I love
Expressing a desire for control in choosing who to love.
Know that I- I forgave you for what you done
Forgiveness for past actions but not forgetting the betrayal.
But that don't mean I forgot all the times you broke my trust
Recognition of broken trust and an ongoing effort to salvage the relationship.
But still I'm trying and trying to salvage all that's left of us
Continued attempts to salvage the remnants of the relationship.
I gave you my all and I gave you my heart and you tore it to shreds
Regret for giving everything to someone who tore the speaker's heart apart.
You told me that this was for life and you would stick by my side to the end
Recalling promises of a lifelong commitment that were broken.
Matter of fact the last time we talked you said that you would never leave me again
Contrasting promises of permanence with the abrupt departure.
Then you got up and left
Feeling uncertain about the sincerity of previous statements.
And now I don't even know if you meant anything that you said
Doubt regarding the authenticity of the person's words and actions.
Left left left right
Repetition of marching commands, emphasizing a cyclical or repetitive nature of the situation.
You fooled me once I let you fool me twice
Reiteration of being deceived and influenced by false narratives.
Filled up my head with those beautiful lies
Repetition of being caught in a destructive force or relationship.
I got caught up in your Riptide
Reiteration of maintaining a cheerful facade despite inner pain.
Hey ya just know I'm smiling through the pain
Repetition of struggling with insomnia and emotional turmoil.
Stay up I've been having trouble sleeping nowadays
Repetition of frustration with lingering negative emotions.
Fed up this feeling I got still hasn't fade
Repetition of the desire for change and unresolved emotions.
And I'm over here still wishing that you would change
Repetition of the longing for the person to change and unmet expectations.
Wishing you felt the same but all you do is play
Repetition of the desire for mutual feelings and frustration with games.
Wishing you look my way but you don't notice me
Repetition of yearning for attention that goes unnoticed.
Factory reset my heart
Repetition of the symbolic act of resetting emotions after heartbreak.
And you ain't even look back you just left me in the dark
Reiteration of feeling abandoned without consideration, emphasizing the darkness of the situation.
