Lyrics
It's been days, I haven't seen your face
Expressing the duration since the speaker last saw the person's face.
My first thought was not, I've been replaced
The initial thought is not about being replaced but is open to interpretation.
But then I saw you with somebody other than me
Observing the person with someone else, causing doubt and concern.
I closed my eyes 'cause I don't wanna believe what I see
Choosing to close the eyes to avoid accepting the painful reality.
You're sitting on the ground, arm around a girl that I don't know
Describing the scene of the person with an unfamiliar girl.
She leans in closer and I know it's over when I see your eyes glow
The realization that the relationship is ending, symbolized by the glow in the person's eyes.
You just keep on looking at her like she is the only one you've ever known
Noticing the intense focus on the other girl as if she's the only one known.
I'm just now finding out you know how to love on the down low
Discovering the person's ability to love discreetly or secretly.
I saw you look at her and that look I know
Recognition of a particular look exchanged between the person and the other girl.
My head stayed high but my heart it sunk so low
Despite keeping composure outwardly, feeling a deep emotional impact.
Why'd you take her to a place you knew I could be?
Questioning the choice of location, suggesting a deliberate attempt to hurt the speaker.
I turn away 'cause I'm starting to believe what I see
Turning away as the speaker starts to believe the painful reality.
You're sitting on the ground, arm around a girl that I don't know
Reiterating the scene of the person with an unknown girl.
She leans in closer and I know it's over when I see your eyes glow
Confirming the end of the relationship through the person's glowing eyes.
You just keep on looking at her like she is the only one you've ever known
Emphasizing the exclusive attention given to the other girl.
I'm just now finding out you know how to love on the down low
Revelation of the person's capability to love discreetly.
Down low, down low
Repetition of the concept of loving on the "down low," possibly indicating a hidden or secretive aspect of the person's love.
Down low, down low
-Down low, down low
-Down low, down low
-You're sitting on the ground, arm around a girl that I don't know
-She leans in closer and I know it's over when I see your eyes glow
-You just keep on looking at her like she is the only one you've ever known
-I'm just now finding out you know how to love on the down low
-Down low, down low
-Down low, down low
-Down low, down low
-Down low, down low
