Lyrics

I don't need that noise, no

I don't want unnecessary disturbances or disruptions.

You speak before you think

You tend to speak without careful consideration.

What are you trying to avoid, us

What are you trying to avoid: our relationship or everything in general?

Me or everything?

Am I the issue, or is it a broader dissatisfaction with everything?

I got caught in a memory of you

I find myself dwelling on a memory of you.

An old routine I think I just got used to

There's a familiar pattern that I've become accustomed to.

It wasn't you

The person in my memory isn't the same as the one I was attracted to.

Well at least the one I was into

At least, not the version of you that I was interested in.

I hate that I need you sometimes

I dislike admitting that there are times when I rely on you emotionally.

These words get caught on my mind

These emotions and thoughts linger in my mind.

I hate that I need to lie

I resent the fact that I feel compelled to lie.

To my friends about how you try

I pretend to my friends that your efforts are better than they are.

You wonder why I don't look at you the same

You may wonder why I don't view you with the same admiration.

I do it's just I'm not feeling myself these days

It's not that I don't see you, but I'm struggling with my own identity.

I hate that I need you sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

I dislike acknowledging that there are moments when I need you, despite my efforts.

I hate that I need you

I hate that I find myself dependent on you.

I hate that I need you

Reiteration of the dislike for emotional dependence.

And I don't need my voice, no

I don't need to express my feelings verbally.

To say how I feel

Your actions, particularly when you exert control, make emotions evident.

Your hands pressed around my neck, is

A reference to a potentially harmful or stifling situation.

This what makes it real

Does this control define the reality of our relationship?

I got caught in a memory of you

I'm stuck reminiscing about moments with you.

An old routine I think I just got used to

An old routine has become a comfortable habit.

It wasn't you

Clarification that the remembered version isn't the current reality.

Well at least the one I was into

Reiteration that the person remembered is not the same.

I hate that I need you sometimes

I dislike my occasional emotional reliance on you.

These words get caught on my mind

Repetition of thoughts lingering in the mind.

I hate that I need to lie

Disliking the need to deceive others about your efforts.

To my friends about how you try

Pretending that your attempts are more genuine than they feel.

You wonder why I don't look at you the same

Explaining why there's a shift in how I perceive you.

I do it's just I'm not feeling myself these days

Acknowledging that I see you, but I'm struggling with my identity.

I hate that I need you sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Disliking the moments when I admit that I need you, despite my efforts.

I hate that I need you

Reiteration of the dislike for emotional dependence.

I hate that I need you

Emphasizing the ongoing resentment of dependency.

I hate that I need you

Strongly expressing the dislike and internal conflict regarding emotional neediness.
