Lyrics
I know we got our issues
I acknowledge that we have problems or disagreements.
But I been missing you
I have been feeling the absence of your presence.
Missing you
Reiteration of the feeling of missing the other person.
Cause if you stay or if you go
Whether you choose to stay or leave, it results in a loss for me.
Yeah, either way I lose
Emphasizes the inevitability of a negative outcome for the speaker.
When it's you
Highlighting the emotional impact when the person in question is involved.
Lately I been caught up, I been holding onto time
Recently, I have been preoccupied, holding onto moments in time.
I been so distracted, only got you on my mind
The speaker has been distracted, with thoughts solely focused on the other person.
I know we ain't together, but can you just stay the night
Despite not being in a relationship, a request for the person to stay overnight.
I need to see some effort, let me know when you decide
Expressing a need for effort and a desire for a decision from the other person.
We both got reasons that we should move on
Both individuals have reasons to move on from the relationship.
But I'm hoping that that ain't what you want
The speaker hopes the other person doesn't want to end things.
Changing like seasons, you're breaking my heart
Comparing the changes in the relationship to shifting seasons, causing heartbreak.
Over and over again
Repetition of the pain endured repeatedly.
I know we got our issues
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of existing issues.
But I been missing you
The speaker continues to feel the absence of the other person.
Missing you
Reiteration of the ongoing feeling of missing the other person.
Cause if you stay or if you go
Regardless of the decision made, it results in a loss for the speaker.
Yeah, either way I lose
Emphasizing the inevitability of a negative outcome.
When it's you
Highlighting the emotional impact when the person in question is involved.
I know we got our issues but I'm missing you baby
Acknowledging issues but expressing a longing for the other person.
And ever since you left, I got that feeling I'm chasing
Since the person's departure, the speaker feels a persistent yearning.
I'll drink every bottle but it's you that I'm craving
The speaker resorts to drinking but still craves the presence of the other person.
Rip out my heart until my lungs will just cave in
Metaphorically describing intense emotional pain and longing.
I could try to fix it with the bottles on the wall
Suggesting a temporary coping mechanism with alcohol.
Just until you call
Using alcohol until the person returns.
But up until that moment I'm in hell
Describing a painful period until the anticipated moment of contact.
Why am I not better by myself
Questioning why the speaker isn't improving while being alone.
We both got reasons that we should move on
Both individuals have reasons to move on from the relationship.
But I'm hoping that that ain't what you want
The speaker hopes the other person doesn't want to end things.
Changing like seasons, you're breaking my heart
Comparing the changes in the relationship to shifting seasons, causing heartbreak.
Over and over again
Repetition of the pain endured repeatedly.
And through all the bad nights that we had
Despite challenging times, the speaker keeps returning to the other person.
I'm still running back to you
Repetition of the acknowledgment of existing issues.
I know we got our issues
The speaker continues to feel the absence of the other person.
But I been missing you
Reiteration of the ongoing feeling of missing the other person.
Missing you

Yeah, either way I lose

When it's you
