Lyrics
Please just keep my heart in mind
Please prioritize my emotions
When you’re wandering through the night
Consider my feelings when you're out at night
He won’t ever love like I do
You won't love in the same way I do
That’s why you keep it so undefined
You keep our relationship undefined due to that
Oh this dangerous game that we’re playing
Refers to the risky nature of their relationship
You act like you’re leaving but stayin
You act like you're leaving but end up staying
But You Won’t Let Go
Despite the ambiguity, you refuse to let go
You won’t say that
You avoid saying certain things
You won’t say that to me
You won't express those things to me
You won’t say that
Repeated emphasis on the reluctance to communicate certain feelings
You won’t say you want to leave
You won't admit that you want to leave
Just tell me that your minds made up
Request to be informed if the decision is final
Just tell me right now you don’t want my love
Direct request to state the lack of interest in their love
You won’t say that
Reiteration of the reluctance to express certain feelings
You won’t say that to me
This reluctance persists in communicating with me
Emotionally claustrophobic
Feeling emotionally trapped or overwhelmed
You’re scared to get close oh yeah you know when
Fearful of getting too close due to past experiences
To run away
The tendency to run away when things become real or intense
When it gets real try to run away
When faced with reality, the instinct is to escape
Are you just keeping my heart in check
Questioning if actions are a way of checking the status of the relationship
Whenever you do me like that
When treating me a certain way, are you conscious of my emotions?
You know that I’m slow to react
Acknowledging a slow response to emotional situations
But you know we can never go back
Despite past actions, going back is not possible
Are you just keeping my heart in check
Reiteration of questioning if actions are heart-checking
Whenever you do me like that
Similar to line 28, questioning awareness of emotional impact
You know we can never go back
Reiteration that returning to a previous state is impossible
You know we can never go back
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of their situation
