So Close
Adriel Rivera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was getting close
So close
But they hit on the nose when they said "Be careful"
She might think you are cute today
But be wary, what she says
She can leave so easily
I was feeling close
So close
But guess I was the fool
To think that we could go
Somewhere past the point of play
But of course you put away
God, how dare you ruin me
I had to clean my room just for you to come over
But after everything I'm just that chip on your shoulder
I thought that we were real, darling
Tell me, what's going on?
Well I was getting close
So close
But now I really know, don't get too comfortable
She could read you like a book
Kiss your lips and leave you shook
I suggest don't even look
She'll treat you like you are something worth her time
She'll make you feel inclined to spend your dime
But then she'll say "I'm not yours and you're not mine"
Well, nevermind
I had to clean my room just for you to come over
But after everything I'm just that chip on your shoulder
I thought that we were real, darling
Tell me, what's going on?
Tu beso es veneno
Pero, aún te quiero
Ya no tengo dinero
Me hiciste gastarlo
Y me dices "nada te debo"
Pero estás equivocada
I want back all the time we spent
All the words you said
I fell for all of that
For everything you did
But of course
You do it with no remorse
I had to clean my room just for you to come over
But after everything I'm just that chip on your shoulder
I thought that we were real, darling
Tell me, what's going on? Ohhh
I was so drunk on you, now I'm finally sober
Before it even started, it was already over




Nothing about you was real darling
I guess I'm moving on

The verses talk about the mixed feelings the person is experiencing, being drawn to the other person despite the warning signs, and then realizing that they were just being fooled into believing that there was something more real between them. The chorus emphasizes the idea that one should be mindful of the other person's intentions, because they could easily drop someone once they're done playing. The lyrics also include a section in Spanish where the singer describes the 'venomous kiss' of the other person and the financial burden the relationship caused, further emphasizing the feeling of being used and deceived.
