Lyrics
How much did I never know?
Expressing ignorance or lack of awareness about a certain aspect.
How much of myself should I have never shown?
Reflecting on the extent of personal disclosure and openness, perhaps questioning whether it was appropriate.
How many times were you picturing somebody else?
Raising the question of how often the person was thinking about someone else during their interactions.
How many times should I have been guarding myself?
Wondering if self-protection measures should have been in place.
Don't you
Repetition for emphasis, possibly conveying a sense of disbelief or disappointment.
Don't you
-Pretend like you wanna be friends when using me was
Highlighting a situation where the other person pretended to be friendly but had ulterior motives of using the speaker.
All you intended to do
-Are you absolutely sure that you wanna hear this?
Seeking confirmation about the listener's readiness to hear a difficult truth.
Yes just tell me
Consent to share something challenging, with a warning that it might be something unpleasant.
I'm just saying that this is something you probably would never wanna hear
-Well if you tell me then I can stop blaming myself and finally fucking move on
Desire for closure and a release from self-blame by knowing the truth.
How much of this would you have left unsaid?
Pondering the amount of information that was deliberately withheld or left unsaid.
How long would you let me just live in my head?
Questioning the duration of living with unspoken thoughts or secrets.
How could you let me find out through one of our friends?
Expressing surprise or disappointment at discovering something important through a third party.
How could you not have the guts to tell me yourself instead?
Criticizing the other person for lacking the courage to communicate the truth directly.
Don't you
Repetition emphasizing a plea not to pretend bravery, especially when the actions speak otherwise.
Don't you
-Pretend like you're the brave one just because
Highlighting the irony of the other person claiming bravery for doing what the speaker couldn't do.
You did what I couldn't do
-Don't you know little whispers
Describing the unraveling of a relationship, using metaphors like whispers turning into screams and ideas turning into dreams.
They turn into screams
-And little ideas
-They turn into dreams
-But you and me
-We fell apart at the seams
-And I kept trying to sew us back together again
Expressing efforts to mend the relationship and the realization that the other person was actively causing damage.
Turns out you were the one tearing at all the threads
-Don't you
Repetition urging the other person to reflect on the consequences of their actions.
Don't you
-Ever wonder what would've happened
Prompting reflection on the potential outcomes if the other person had not been hesitant or fearful.
If you hadn't been a coward
-Don't you
Encouraging contemplation on the alternate scenario if the other person had not withdrawn from a commitment.
Don't you
-Ever wonder what would've happened
Expressing uncertainty about the future but vowing not to repeat mistakes in the next relationship.
If you hadn't backed out of it
-All I know is that next time I fall in love
Committing to being more cautious and not bringing the metaphorical "sewing kit" (attempting to fix things) into the next love affair.
I won't bring my sewing kit
