Don't Call Me
Anella Herim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to impress me
Talking bout your ex
Or your next b f
See, I don't really care
Cause there's nothing left
Between me and you
That was last week, next week
With a brand new girl
And focus on the new friends
Cause the old ones hurt me
I Talked about the end
Still nobody worried
Didn't even ask
Guess I'm just not worthy
I never asked for much just a little, I
I still end up getting stuck in the middle, I
I still let em fill me up with these little lies
Cause Friends ain't friends, unless you doing the most
Thought the Drugs kept me close but
The Drugs push me closer
Wrong path, I'm still rocking and rolling
At the end of the road
I still act like I ain't noticed
I can't pick up the slack
Ain't nothing holding me back
But I still feel like I'm trapped inside my
Mind
Know I'm a little behind
I'm Reading between the lines
I know I'm lost but I'll find my way
Don't call me, text me
Trying to impress me
Talking bout your ex
Or your next b f
See, I don't really care
Cause there's nothing left
Between me and you
That was last week, next week

Herim intends to move on with her life and focus on new experiences and relationships while leaving her past behind.
The lyrics also hint at struggles with friendships and substance abuse. Herim explains how her old friends have hurt her, and she plans to focus on new ones. She admits to getting stuck in the middle of difficult situations despite not asking for much. She found solace in drugs, which initially seemed to bring her closer to her friends, but ultimately led her down the wrong path. Although she acknowledges her lost nature, she remains determined to find her way.
