Lyrics
We talked on the phone
We had a conversation over the phone.
It was so hard to say goodbye
Saying goodbye was difficult.
But you were moving on
The person being talked to was moving on with their life.
You had plans for the night
Plans were made for the night by the other person.
I was walking alone
I found myself walking alone.
When it started sinking in
The realization of the situation began to set in.
It hurts in my heart and bones
There's emotional and physical pain.
All's fair, but it's not a war
Everything might be fair, but it's not a war.
I bet ya think you're
There's a belief that the other person thinks highly of themselves.
Hardly to blame
The person feels they are hardly to blame for the situation.
Hardly to blame
-Hardly to blame
-But I know you
Despite the circumstances, the speaker still knows the other person.
I tried to love ya
The speaker made efforts to love and communicate but faced challenges.
I tried to tell ya
-I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah
-At 15th and Moore
A specific location (15th and Moore) where an incident occurred.
Is where I started to trip
The speaker started to struggle or face difficulties.
When you caught me at the door
Reference to a moment at the door, feeling overwhelmed and unable to handle it all.
I swore
-I just can't take it all the time
-I'm having some trouble
The speaker is facing troubles or challenges.
'Cause all I see are landmarks of you
Seeing reminders of the other person everywhere, making it difficult to move on.
And now the city's a puzzle
-That I can't solve 'cause its not true
-I bet you think you are
Belief that the other person sees themselves in a certain way.
Hardly to blame
Repetition of the idea that the speaker is hardly to blame, despite efforts to love and communicate.
Hardly to blame
-Hardly to blame
-But I know you
-I tried to love ya
-I tried to tell ya
-I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah
-Hardly to blame
Continuation of the theme of being hardly to blame and trying to love and communicate.
Hardly to blame
-Hardly to blame
-But I know you
-I tried to love ya
-I tried to tell ya
-I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah
-Hardly to blame
Reiteration of the speaker's belief that they are hardly to blame and their efforts to love and communicate.
Hardly to blame
-Hardly to blame
-But I know you
-I tried to love ya
-I tried to tell ya
-I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah
-Hardly to blame
Final repetition of the idea that the speaker is hardly to blame, but they still know the other person.
Hardly to blame
-Hardly to blame
-But I know you
