Lyrics
Look honey
Expression of addressing someone affectionately.
I've changed
Claiming a personal transformation or development.
I'm leaving my house
Decision to leave the speaker's home.
With you and your barbecuing boy-toy in it
Reference to the person and their romantic interest.
No fight
Describing the departure without conflict.
No cops called
No police involvement in the departure.
No tears
Highlighting a departure without emotional distress.
No beating his fucking face in
Rejecting violence against the romantic interest.
I am not the one
Emphatic assertion of not being the desired partner.
That you wanted me
Acknowledging the partner's preference.
To try to be
Recognition of the expected role that wasn't fulfilled.
I'm not him
Assertion of not being the ideal person.
I am not the one
Reiteration of not being the chosen one.
All I'll ever be
Acceptance of being reduced to memories.
Are these memories
Defining the speaker's existence as memories for the partner.
I'm not her
Denial of being someone else, specifically a female.
You can hide in the back
Invitation to hide in the background.
Let me know if you're still getting attached
Asking for confirmation if the partner is still emotionally connected.
Cause I already am
Expression of the speaker's emotional attachment.
You got my heart inside of your hand
Declaration that the partner has control over the speaker's emotions.
Was it you
Possibly questioning the cause of the relationship's failure.
Was it me
Raising questions about responsibility for the breakup.
Was it all the talking in my sleep
Reflection on conversations during sleep as a possible cause.
How I stare at my feet
Highlighting discomfort or anxiety through body language.
When I speak cause I know I'm not the
Confession of self-awareness regarding inadequacy.
I'm not the
Repetition of denial regarding identity.
I'm not the
Continued denial of a particular identity.
I'm not the one
Reiteration of not being the chosen partner.
I'm not the
Repetition of denial.
I'm not the
Continued repetition of denial.
I am not the one
Final declaration of not being the desired partner.
That you wanted me
Reiteration of the partner's expectations.
To try to be
Repeating the failed attempt to meet expectations.
I'm not him
Restating not being the ideal person.
I am not the one
Emphasizing not being the chosen one.
All I'll ever be
Acceptance of being reduced to memories, repeated.
Are these memories
Reiteration of existing only as memories.
I'm not her
Rejection of being a specific female.
Forget my face
Suggestion to forget the speaker's identity.
Let's pretend that we're strangers
Proposal to assume unfamiliarity and dance together.
We could dance all night and be happy forever
Expression of a desire for perpetual happiness in anonymity.
