Lyrics
Was it really just me?
Expressing doubt about a shared experience, questioning if it was only the speaker.
Did you really feel nothin’ at all?
Questioning the sincerity of the other person's feelings, wondering if there was no emotional response.
If you hated the way I bothered you,
Acknowledging a perceived annoyance or disturbance caused by the speaker.
Then what can I say to that?
Expressing uncertainty about how to respond to the other person's discomfort.
And I can’t fall asleep,
Describing difficulty falling asleep, possibly due to unresolved emotions.
'cause I know that you follow my dreams
Believing that the other person is still connected to the speaker's aspirations or goals.
Every step you take away from me,
Highlighting the emotional impact of the other person moving away.
You’re deeper in my chest
Emphasizing the lingering emotional presence of the other person in the speaker's heart.
No one compares
Stating that no one else can be compared to the other person.
Nothin’ compares
Reinforcing the uniqueness of the connection by saying nothing compares to it.
I’ve never loved and loved so deeply,
Expressing deep and intense love that has never been experienced before.
But how the hell could I argue a “no”?
Acknowledging the impossibility of arguing against a negative response (a "no").
'Cause you’ll never change,
Asserting the belief that the other person will not change for anyone.
For anyone’s sake
Stating a refusal to compromise or change for someone else's benefit.
I could’ve gave, and paid, and saved, and killed
Expressing a willingness to give, sacrifice, save, or even harm for the relationship, but accepting the final rejection.
But I guess no is a no
Resignation to the fact that a definitive rejection ("no") cannot be changed.
Give it a year or two,
Looking ahead to a future time (a year or two) when the speaker expects to be over the other person.
And I’ll be over you
Expressing the anticipation of healing and moving on with time.
I’ll be blamin’ me,
Taking responsibility for the emotional aftermath and attributing blame to oneself.
