Lyrics
Thinkin bout you I’m barely sleeping
Reflecting on thoughts of someone, struggling to sleep.
Used to stay up on the weekend
Previously stayed awake during weekends, perhaps with the person in mind.
Since you left I been dreaming
Since the person's departure, the speaker has been having dreams.
Baby I been dreaming
Expressing a longing for the person, dreaming about them.
Was scared to tell the truth now you’re miles away
Confession of fear to be honest; now, the person is far away.
Still doing all the same shit you lied to me
Continuing behaviors despite knowing the person lied.
Thought you were making changes
Believed the person was making positive changes.
Thought you were chasing greatness
Assumed the person was striving for greatness.
I been making changes for myself
Speaker is making personal changes, independent of the person.
and I don’t want you to come around that won't help
Rejecting the idea of the person coming back, as it won't be helpful.
Cause I been up in the clouds for a min or two
Feeling elevated or happy for a while.
I can’t even get a text back that's my cue to go now
Not receiving a text response, indicating it's time to move on.
She had a lock on my heart
The person had a strong influence on the speaker's emotions.
She had a hold on our love
The person had control over their relationship.
Tell me everything that got in the way
Asking for an explanation about what went wrong.
You can’t even love yourself i know it hurts to say it
Recognizing the difficulty in admitting self-love is lacking.
I know all about you and your favorite things
Knowledge of the person's preferences and habits.
I know you wanna be loved like everybody else does
Aware that the person desires love like everyone else.
Thinkin bout you I’m barely sleeping
Reiteration of thoughts about the person affecting sleep.
Used to stay up on the weekend
Recalling past habits of staying up on weekends.
Since you left I been dreaming
Continued dreams since the person's departure.
Baby I been dreaming
Reiterating the desire and dreams about the person.
Was scared to tell the truth now you’re miles away
Reflecting on the fear of telling the truth, now that the person is distant.
Still doing all the same shit you lied to me
Continuing behaviors despite knowing the person lied.
Thought you were making changes
Expressing disappointment in the person's failure to change.
Thought you were chasing greatness
Disappointment in the person not achieving the assumed greatness.
