Lyrics
I belong to the way you see the world
The speaker feels a strong connection to how the person they're addressing perceives the world.
Got attached to the way you saw me
They became emotionally invested in how that person viewed them.
Had our future aligned just like dominoes
Their future seemed perfectly aligned, much like a series of falling dominoes set to happen in succession.
Too much space in between
However, there's now a significant emotional distance or disconnect between them.
Close my eyes, but what's the use?
The speaker is trying to shut off from the situation, but it's proving futile.
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
They still find themselves dreaming about the person despite attempting to close off their thoughts.
All alone inside this room
Feeling isolated and lonely within their own space.
Where you told me
Recalling a moment where the other person communicated something significant.
Maybe we should stop tryna save this
Suggesting a potential mutual decision to end efforts to salvage the relationship.
So I'll try and do it on my own
The speaker is attempting to cope and manage their feelings independently.
But only 'cause I have to
They're only doing it because circumstances require it, not necessarily by choice.
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm having fun
The speaker pretends to be enjoying themselves despite feeling the opposite.
When the opposite is true
They're not having fun, despite outward appearances suggesting otherwise.
All the words that I said
Previous words or expressions weren’t sufficient to prevent the person from leaving.
Couldn't stop you from leaving
Expressing regret or frustration about being unable to prevent the departure.
What's left to lose?
Questioning what more there is to lose after the departure.
I'll try and do it on my own
Continuing to try handling things independently, despite a wish for the person's presence.
But, God, I wish I had you
Expressing a strong desire or longing for the person's companionship or support.
I remember you asked if we'd still be friends
Recalling a conversation where the person in question inquired about a potential future friendship.
What a cruel way to say you're happy
Expressing a sense of cruelty in how the person conveyed their happiness or moving on.
Guess you moved on before you were really gone
Suggesting the person emotionally moved on before physically departing.
Lying right beside me
Even while physically present, the person seemed emotionally distant.
Just tell me was your heart ever breaking?
Questioning if the person experienced emotional pain or heartache during their time together.
So I'll try and do it on my own
Continuing efforts to handle the situation independently.
But only 'cause I have to
Doing so due to necessity rather than a desire for solitude.
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm having fun
Pretending to enjoy oneself despite feeling the opposite.
When the opposite is true
Despite outward appearances, the speaker is not truly having fun.
All the words that I said
Previous words or expressions couldn’t prevent the person from leaving.
Couldn't stop you from leaving

But God I wish I had you

Close my eyes, but what's the use? (Oh-ooh)
Reiteration of the inability to shut off thoughts about the person.
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
Despite attempts, the mind continues to dwell on thoughts of the person.
Yeah, I'll try do it on my own
Continuing efforts to handle the situation independently.
But, God, I wish I had you
Expressing a strong desire or longing for the person's companionship or support (repeated).
