Lyrics

Woke up tryna get you out my

Reflecting on waking up and trying to remove someone from the mind.

Get you out my head

Expressing difficulty in getting that person out of one's thoughts.

I know you been out there chillin'

Acknowledging that the person has been spending time with someone else.

Out there in her bed

Suggesting that the person has been intimate with someone else.

Why do I gotta be it

Questioning the reason for being in this situation.

I'm always tryna be shit

Expressing frustration with always trying to be something for the other person.

We couldn't be together

Recalling the agreement that they couldn't be together.

That's not what we said

Clarifying that the current situation contradicts their previous decision.

I thought I lost myself when you're the one that threw me off

Feeling lost and attributing it to the actions of the other person.

I guess it's time to take this love and throw it to the wall

Deciding to end the love and throw it away due to the circumstances.

I should've known the difference

Realizing the mistake and acknowledging the difference in situations.

You messed up I'm tripping

Reacting to the other person's mistake and feeling upset.

Would you take it all back if you could

Pondering if the other person would undo everything if given the chance.

If you could baby

Asking if the person would take back their actions if possible.

Would you do it different

Questioning if there would be a different approach to the relationship.

If you could baby

Wondering if the person would change their behavior if given a chance.

Would you love me more

Exploring the possibility of the person loving more if circumstances were different.

If I had the chance I know I would

Expressing the speaker's certainty that they would change things if given a chance.

If you could

Reiterating the hypothetical scenario of undoing past actions.

If you could

Emphasizing the hypothetical nature of the situation.

I felt myself just stop and stare

Describing a moment of self-awareness where everything seems to pause.

Look in the mirror see that glare

Noticing one's reflection and the intense gaze in the mirror.

You used to tell me I was beautiful

Recalling past compliments about beauty from the now-distant person.

Can I feel that by myself

Questioning the ability to feel that beauty independently.

Guess you felt I was just useable

Sensing that the person viewed the speaker as disposable.

Forget your words guess that's fair well

Accepting the fairness of forgetting the hurtful words.

I thought I lost myself when you're the one that threw me off

Repeating the feeling of losing oneself due to the other person's actions.

I guess it's time to take this love and throw it to the wall

Deciding to end the love and discard it due to the circumstances.

I should've known the difference

Reflecting on the mistake and acknowledging the difference in situations.

You messed up I'm tripping

Reacting to the other person's mistake and feeling upset.

Would you take it all back if you could

Pondering if the other person would undo everything if given the chance.

If you could baby

Asking if the person would take back their actions if possible.

Would you do it different

Questioning if there would be a different approach to the relationship.

If you could baby

Wondering if the person would change their behavior if given a chance.

Would you love me more

Exploring the possibility of the person loving more if circumstances were different.

If I had the chance I know I would

Expressing the speaker's certainty that they would change things if given a chance.

If you could

Reiterating the hypothetical scenario of undoing past actions.

If you could

Emphasizing the hypothetical nature of the situation.

If you could

Repeating the question of whether the person would take back their actions.

You could

Concluding with a repetition of the hypothetical scenario.
