Lyrics
Wait, give me just a minute, let me get my head straight
Expressing a need for a moment to clear thoughts and emotions.
Legs been feeling weak cause I been carrying your weight
Feeling physically strained from carrying the burden of someone else.
I been feeling awful baby, you been feeling great
Contrast in feelings: the speaker feels awful while the other person feels great.
Wait, give me just a minute, let me get my head straight
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the speaker's emotional state.
Legs been feeling weak cause I been carrying your weight
-I been feeling awful baby, you been feeling great
-Now I'm by myself, I lie awake
Being alone and struggling to sleep, contemplating the absence of the other person.
I'll count the stars till I see your face
Longing to see the other person, finding solace in counting stars.
I'm somebody you can't replace

Angel cry for help and count your days

You'll play your cards, they've gone to waste

All our memories I hit erase for good
Erasing memories as a coping mechanism for moving on.
I don't need your love or sympathy

You can keep my stuff, it's not for me
-I blocked your number, leave me be
-I got over having your company
-I know that it happened so suddenly
Expressing relief at the sudden end of a burdensome relationship.
I'm glad that it's over now, lucky me
-Got sick of carrying your weight so constantly, oh, oh
