Lyrics
I don't know you but I know what you did to her
The speaker doesn't personally know the person being addressed but is aware of their actions toward another individual.
She told me and I happen to believe her too
The speaker has been informed by the person who was affected and believes their account of events.
They will be three steps behind
Others (possibly authorities or justice) will lag behind in understanding or responding to the situation.
You will not know what's got you
The person being addressed will be unaware of what has affected them or caused consequences.
Oh so you're sorry now
There's a sense of insincerity or disbelief towards the other person's remorse.
All is not well, it's not ended
The situation is not resolved, and there's ongoing distress or conflict.
Hold your breath 'till it's over
Advising to endure or hold on until a situation concludes.
There's something left underwater
There are unresolved issues or emotions that remain hidden or unaddressed.
You've been quiet, there are things
The person has been silent about certain matters.
That you do not speak of
There are undisclosed topics or experiences that the person chooses not to talk about.
But if you stay gone a little
If the person continues to stay away or remain distant, their access or connection will diminish.
Longer your keys won't work
Their keys won't function anymore, metaphorically suggesting a loss of access or permission.
'Cause I will be two steps behind
The speaker will be trailing behind, perhaps watching the person's actions.
You will not know what's got you
The person won't realize what's affecting them or leading to consequences.
Oh so you're sorry now
There's a sense of skepticism or disbelief in the other person's apologies.
All is not well, it's not ended
The situation remains unresolved and troubled.
Hold your breath 'till it's over
Encouraging persistence until a conclusion is reached.
There's something left underwater
There are hidden or submerged aspects that are still present.
Hold your breath 'till it's over
Reiterating the need to endure until resolution.
There's something left underwater
There are concealed or submerged elements that persist.
Hold your breath 'till it's over
Repeating the instruction to endure until conclusion.
There's something left underwater
Emphasizing the persistence of submerged or hidden aspects.
Hold your breath 'till it's over
Continuing to advise holding on until resolution.
There's something left underwater
Reiterating the presence of concealed or submerged elements that persist.
