Tell Me
Emotional Echoes: Trissity Jane's 'Tell Me' Unraveled
Lyrics
Thought I was catchin' onto you
Expressing initial belief in understanding the other person.
Thought we would be better in two
Hoping for improvement and a better relationship together.
I know it's a little bit selfish baby
Acknowledging a selfish desire to have the partner exclusively.
I want you all to myself
Expressing the wish for exclusivity in the relationship.
I'm tryin not to go crazy
Struggling to maintain emotional stability in the situation.
That'd be bad for my health
Acknowledging that emotional distress is detrimental to health.
So let me know how you feel
Requesting open communication about the partner's feelings.
Oh if this is real
Seeking confirmation on the authenticity of the relationship.
Don't play crooked games
Advising against deceitful behavior or playing games.
Why won't you seal the deal
Questioning why the commitment hasn't been solidified.
I'm not your 2am pretty girl call
Rejecting being a late-night convenience rather than a genuine connection.
So tell me how you feel
Reiterating the need for honest communication about emotions.
You say i'm just your type
Acknowledging being the partner's preferred type.
But you call me only at night
Highlighting a discrepancy in the partner's actions (night calls).
I'm fallin' for your ocean eyes
Expressing attraction to the partner's eyes and uniqueness.
Your'e not like other guys
Stating the partner's distinctiveness compared to others.
But are we only illusion and lies
Raising doubts about the authenticity of the relationship.
Let me know how you feel
Reiterating the call for clarity on emotions.
Oh if this is real
Seeking confirmation on the reality of the relationship.
Don't play crooked games
Discouraging manipulative behavior or dishonesty.
Why won't you seal the deal
Questioning the delay in formalizing the commitment.
I'm not your 2am pretty girl call
Rejecting being a late-night convenience rather than a genuine connection (repeated).
So tell me how you feel
Reiterating the need for honest communication about emotions (repeated).
You say you like my reflection
Acknowledging appreciation but questioning its sincerity.
Or is it just my attention
Wondering if the partner's interest is genuine or attention-seeking.
I might just be naive but what don't you see
Expressing potential naivety and asking the partner to see the truth.
Let me know how you feel
Reiterating the call for clarity on emotions (repeated).
Oh if this is real
Seeking confirmation on the authenticity of the relationship (repeated).
Don't play crooked games
Discouraging manipulative behavior or dishonesty (repeated).
Why won't you seal the deal
Questioning the delay in formalizing the commitment (repeated).
I'm not your 2am pretty girl call
Rejecting being a late-night convenience rather than a genuine connection (repeated).
So tell me how you feel
Reiterating the need for honest communication about emotions (repeated).
Let me know how you feel
Repeating the call for clarity on emotions (repeated).
Oh if this is real
Repeating the request for confirmation on the reality of the relationship (repeated).
Don't play crooked games
Repeating the discouragement of manipulative behavior or dishonesty (repeated).
Why won't you seal the deal
Repeating the question about the delay in formalizing the commitment (repeated).
I'm not your 2am pretty girl call
Repeating the rejection of being a late-night convenience rather than a genuine connection (repeated).
So tell me how you feel
Reiterating the need for honest communication about emotions (repeated).
Two months playing games
Reflecting on a period of playing games in the relationship.
You were just crossing off my name
Realizing the partner was merely checking off a list, feeling regret.
My fault
Taking responsibility for the misunderstanding and false expectations.
Thought it was real
Admitting a mistaken belief in the authenticity of the relationship.
Now I know how to feel
Expressing clarity and understanding of emotions after the realization.
