Lyrics

Promise you I ain't fixing to give in go picking up the phone and call you up

Expressing determination not to yield, avoiding contacting the person

Ain't dialing your best friends, hoping you're with them

Avoiding reaching out to mutual friends to check on the person

Go all in and push my luck

Taking risks and fully committing to a situation

Not trying to do the wrong things right

Acknowledging the intention to avoid making mistakes in relationships

Not even drinking just trying to get by

Not resorting to drinking but struggling to cope

Guess time is gonna get me through

Accepting that time will help overcome difficulties

What I really wanna do is

Expressing a desire to engage in certain actions

Go out drinking and thinking about my own self

Wishing to focus on personal well-being and enjoyment

Posting photos and hoping its putting you through hell

Trying to cause emotional distress through social media

Downtown every night of the week, still losing sleep about you and me

Continuing a routine, feeling troubled about the relationship

But not the way that I have been lately

Not wanting to experience the current emotional state

Wish I could but it just can't change me

Recognizing the difficulty in changing one's nature

You make it look so easy to do

Acknowledging the other person's seemingly effortless actions

But it's hard to be like you

Expressing the challenge of emulating the other person

Hard to be like you

Reiterating the difficulty in being like the other person

Wouldn't be an issue, I wouldn't miss you

Stating that not missing the person wouldn't be a problem

If I could live my life like you

Questioning the impact of living a life similar to the other person

Would it make me stronger, or does it take longer

Wondering if adopting the other person's approach would be beneficial

To deal with it like I do

Questioning the time it takes to cope with situations

Not trying to do the wrong things right

Reiterating the intention to avoid making mistakes

Just sitting praying wishing maybe that I

Sitting and praying for strength to endure difficulties

Could find the strength to get me through

Seeking strength to navigate through challenges

Cause' what I really wanna do is

Expressing a desire to engage in specific actions

Go out drinking and thinking about my own self

Similar to line #8, emphasizing self-focus and enjoyment

Posting photos and hoping its putting you through hell

Repeating the desire to cause emotional distress through photos

Downtown every night of the week, still losing sleep about you and me

Continuing the routine, struggling with sleep over the relationship

But not the way that I have been lately

Expressing discontent with the current emotional state

Wish I could but it just can't change me

Acknowledging the difficulty in personal change

You make it look so easy to do

Reiterating the perceived ease of the other person's actions

But it's hard to be like you…

Repeating the challenge of emulating the other person

Hard to be like you

Reiterating the difficulty in being like the other person

You make it look so easy to do

Repeating the perceived ease of the other person's actions

And I ain't got nothing left to lose

Expressing a sense of having nothing more to lose

What I really wanna do is

Repeating the desire to engage in specific actions

Go out drinking and thinking about my own self

Similar to lines #8 and #24, focusing on self and enjoyment

Posting photos and hoping it putting you through hell

Repeating the desire to cause emotional distress through photos

Downtown every night of the week, still losing sleep about you and me

Continuing the routine, struggling with sleep over the relationship

But not the way that I have been lately

Expressing discontent with the current emotional state

Wish I could but it just can't change me

Acknowledging the difficulty in personal change

You make it look so easy to do

Reiterating the perceived ease of the other person's actions

Oh, you make it look so easy to do

Emphasizing the seeming effortlessness of the other person

But it's hard to be like you

Repeating the challenge of emulating the other person

Hard to be like you

Reiterating the difficulty in being like the other person

Hard to be like you

Repeating the challenge of emulating the other person
