Lyrics
It's all you ever had
Emphasizing that this is the entirety of what you possess or cling to
It's all you ever had
Reiteration of the central idea that this is the sole possession or essence
Your pretty looks your Xanax and your make up back
Your physical appearance, medication (Xanax), and the facade of cosmetics
It's all you ever had
Restating the exclusive nature of what's within your possession
You try to smile but I see right through it's just a mask
Despite attempts to appear content, your true emotions are evident
It's all you ever had
Reiteration of the centrality of these possessions/emotions
You wear your heart on your sleeve but it looks more like shoulder pads
Your emotional vulnerability seems more like a protective shield
It's all you ever had
Reemphasizing the importance of these emotional defenses
And now I'm wondering if you'll even call me back
Expressing uncertainty about receiving a response
Would you be honest with me if I asked you where it all went wrong
Questioning about the point of conflict or downfall in the relationship
Would you try to promise me that you would at least listen to this song
Hoping for attention and consideration through this song
Let the dark dominate this conversation but that's not who you are
Acknowledging the dominance of negativity but denying it defines the person
I don't want to leave here so empty handed if we've made it this far
Reluctance to end things despite the uncertainty
But I know I will
Admitting the inevitable departure despite the desire to stay
It's all you ever had
Reiteration of the central idea that this is the sole possession or essence
It's all you ever had
Emphasizing again that this is all that is possessed or valued
What you really expect from me
Questioning what is genuinely anticipated or sought after in this situation
Like I don't even need to sleep
Implying a lack of necessity for rest due to the situation or relationship
Cuz you keep me begging on my knees
Being figuratively reduced to pleading or supplication
That I won't get your answer machine
Fearing only encountering an automated response instead of genuine communication
I left my last three messages
Left multiple messages, all questioning the situation
That were all more or less me questioning
Clarifying the content of the messages left behind
How we're still in this situation
Expressing confusion about being stuck in this state
Like honestly I'm running out of patience
Running out of tolerance or endurance due to the situation
It's true
Acknowledging the truth in the situation
I just want to see you shine through
Desiring to witness genuine positivity or authenticity
I'm just here to remind you
Reminding someone of their potential or genuine self
That we all struggle sometimes too
Asserting that everyone faces difficulties, including the person addressed
But it's all you ever had
Reiteration that this constitutes the entirety of what's possessed or valued
It's all you ever had
Stressing once more that this is all that is possessed or valued
It's all you ever had
Reiteration of the exclusive nature of what's within your possession
