Lyrics
One look
Expressing the impact of a single gaze
Does it and I'm right back
Being emotionally affected and returning to a previous state
Waist deep
Deeply immersed in pain or difficulty
In suffering and calling my mom on the phone
Experiencing hardship and reaching out to a comforting figure
To tell her "he didn't wanna talk to me today"
Informing the mother about a negative interaction with someone
Words fell
Communication breakdown, possibly a disagreement
Out of his and my mouth
Both parties speaking hurtful words
His come to kill and shoot me down
Expressions of hostility or threat in the other person's words
Mine are on a cliff with just an echo
Feeling isolated and unheard, with personal thoughts echoing
Screaming back his name
Shouting the person's name in frustration or longing
Screaming "come back to me"
Expressing a desire for reconciliation or return
Tell me that it's really over
Seeking confirmation that the relationship has truly ended
Tell me you need closure
Requesting closure for emotional resolution
Tell me you never got over me
Questioning if the person has truly moved on
Just tell me it's really over
Asking for confirmation of the finality of the relationship
So I can never look at you the same
Desiring clarity to change one's perception of the person
Most nights
Most nights without emotional distress
I don't have a problem
Admitting occasional difficulty in sleeping
Sleeping
Expressing relative ease in overcoming nightly challenges
But every so often
Fantasizing about a potential romantic relationship
I fall into a fantasy about what you and I could've come to be
By morning, rationalizing and moving on from the fantasy
By dawn
Reflecting on lingering emotional pain
I've gotten over it
Feeling emotionally torn
But there's still an aching in my heart
Experiencing emotional pain despite rationalizing
I'm pulled apart
Feeling emotionally fragmented
And end up crying in my car
Crying alone in a car
You're wasted potential
Perceiving wasted potential in the other person
I'm losing credentials
Experiencing a decline in personal qualifications or worth
You think it's not that serious
Perceiving the situation as more serious than the other person
But it was serious to me
Highlighting the seriousness of the emotional impact
I'm thrown in the spotlight
Being thrust into a challenging or uncomfortable situation
No one says it's alright
Facing disapproval or criticism without reassurance
No hand on my shoulder
Feeling unsupported and isolated
Everything is getting colder
Perceiving a decline in warmth or empathy
Oh so much colder
Emphasizing the increasing emotional distance
Tell me that it's really over
Reiterating the need for confirmation of the end of the relationship
Tell me you need closure
Repeating the desire for closure
Tell me you never got over me
Questioning if the other person has truly moved on
Just tell me it's really over
Seeking confirmation of the finality of the relationship
So I can never look at you the same
Desiring clarity to change one's perception of the person
