Lyrics

There's a side to me

Expressing a hidden aspect of oneself

I never want the world to see

Desire to conceal this aspect from the world

I know that if I let it free

Awareness that revealing it may lead to judgment

They would probably judge me

Anticipating negative opinions if the hidden side is exposed

Judge me

Repetition emphasizes the fear of judgment


I lay in bed at night

Reflecting on thoughts while lying in bed

Watch you as you try to break my mind

Observing someone attempting to disturb the speaker's thoughts


Used to be a friend to me

Highlighting a shift from friendship to enmity

Now you're just my enemy

Labeling the person as an adversary

So fucking full of jealousy

Expressing intense jealousy in the adversary

Will you ever let me be happy?

Questioning if the adversary will allow the speaker's happiness

Happy

Repeating the desire for happiness


There's a side to you

Acknowledging a hidden side of the adversary

I kinda wish I never knew

Expressing regret about discovering this side

It's good to know you got one too

Recognizing a shared vulnerability in the adversary

All the shit you put me through, it ain't true

Denying the truth of the hardships imposed by the adversary

It ain't true

Reiterating the falseness of the hardships


I lay in bed at night

Repeating the act of reflecting on thoughts in bed

Watch you as you try to break my mind

Observing the continued attempt to disturb the speaker's peace of mind


You used to be a friend to me

Echoing the transformation of a friend into an enemy

Now you're just my enemy

Reiterating the adversary label

So fucking full of jealousy

Reaffirming the intense jealousy in the adversary

Will you ever let me be happy?

Questioning if the adversary will permit the speaker's happiness

Happy

Repeating the desire for happiness

Happy

Reiterating the longing for happiness
