Lyrics
It's been a while since I've seen you smile
Reflecting on the absence of the person's smile for a while
But now you've come back again
The person has returned after an absence
Came into the room and you saw my girl
They entered the room and noticed the speaker's partner
And you asked her how long it's been
Asking about the duration of time since they last met
"A year" she said and you shook your head
The partner mentions it's been a year
Said "I'm surprised it's gone on that long"
The person expresses surprise at the length of time
Baby, baby, baby bitch
Addressing the person as 'baby bitch', feeling unable to articulate feelings
For words I am at a loss
Expressing a loss for words
Baby, baby, baby bitch
Reiterating the 'baby bitch' term and requesting to be left alone as they feel improved
I'm better now, please fuck off
Asking the person to go away now that the speaker feels better
What else you gonna say when while you're back on your stay?
Questioning what the person will say during their visit
Maybe something, maybe nothing, we'll see
Uncertainty about the person's intentions during the visit
It's just too bad, you're beautiful, I guess
Acknowledging the person's beauty despite the mismatch between them
I wasn't for you and you weren't for me
Realizing the incompatibility between the speaker and the person
Baby, baby, baby bitch
Using the term 'baby bitch' again, asking them to retreat into their own self
Please slip back into yourself
Requesting the person to go back to their own self
Baby, baby, baby bitch
Asking the person to find someone else to dominate
Go conquer someone else
People say, "How beautiful, how sweet, how kind"
People praise the person's exterior but the speaker has seen their hidden unpleasant side
You're perfect, you've got nothing to hide
Contrasting public perception with the speaker's observation of the person's darker side
But I, for one, have seen the sun
The speaker has experienced hardship and difficulty
And the bitch that you've locked up inside
Recognizing the negative aspects the person hides within
Got fat, got angry, started hating myself
Personal deterioration due to emotional distress caused by the person
Wrote "Birthday Boy" for you, babe
The speaker wrote a song ("Birthday Boy") for the person
Now I'm skinny and sick and paranoid
Current state of being unwell, paranoid, and financially struggling
Without a cent to my name
Financially destitute
Baby, baby, baby bitch
Using the 'baby bitch' term aggressively, expressing anger and disdain
Fuck you, you stinkin' ass ho
Direct insult towards the person
Most beauty I've seen
Recognizing the person's beauty but expressing it comes from a dream
You come from a dream
Feeling unable to ignore the person's beauty despite the negative experiences
But I can't close my eyes anymore
Unable to sleep or ignore the impact of the person
No, I can't close my eyes anymore
Continuing inability to ignore the person's impact
No, I can't close my eyes anymore
