Girls in Red
Aviv Lyrics

You don’t like me back
I understand that you don't feel the same way about me

I get it
I comprehend and accept your lack of interest in me

You say sorry
You apologize for not reciprocating my feelings

I accept it
I acknowledge your apology and recognize that you cannot change your feelings for me

You’ve moved on to bigger things
You have progressed in life and have other priorities besides me

And prettier girls with tighter strings
You have found women who are more physically attractive and have more desirable qualities than me

Now I’m stuck at home alone
I am left by myself with my thoughts

It's time to process all I know
I need to reflect on the situation and come to terms with reality

Twelve o’clock I should be smiling
At this time, I should be happy, but instead, I am upset and emotional

But I’m stuck in my bed crying
I am overwhelmed with sadness and cannot help but cry in bed

I wish that I could’ve kissed you
I regret not having the opportunity to express my feelings for you physically

An old pair of sneakers you outgrew
You have outgrown our relationship and moved on

Blamed myself not being first pick
I fault myself for not being the person you choose and prioritize

Broke myself to feel something
I intentionally put myself through emotional pain to feel something, anything

Wish I didn’t go blind
I wish I had seen the signs earlier and not been blinded by my emotions

Girls in red
These 'girls in red' represent my overwhelming feelings of heartbreak and loss

Spinning head
My thoughts and emotions are spiraling out of control

Flooding music
The music I am listening to is intensifying my emotions

Confined
I feel trapped and isolated in my pain

Somewhere else instead
I wish I could escape my current reality and be somewhere else

The narrative in my mind
My internal thoughts and feelings are creating a story or plot about what happened between us

Hard to breath
My emotional pain is having physical effects on me, such as difficulty breathing

Cause you moved on
You leaving me behind and moving on with your life is causing me pain

On New Year's Eve
This significant date serves as a reminder of what could have been, and the pain I feel

Only good intentions
I only had positive intentions towards you and our relationship

Never cared
You did not care about me or our relationship as much as I did

Forgot about affection
You disregarded the importance of showing love and affection towards me

Unprepared
I was not ready for the emotional pain and heartbreak that came with the end of our relationship

You’re so far
You are distant and unattainable to me now

I’m too deep
I am emotionally invested and cannot easily move on from my feelings for you

Jumped the boat before the steam
I ended our relationship prematurely, before it had a chance to fully develop and prosper

And I’m sorry I’m not good enough
I apologize for not being the kind of person that you want and need in your life

I fought these battles long enough
I have been struggling with my feelings and trying to keep our relationship alive for a long time

And every guy I talk to replies
Whenever I try to pursue a new love interest, they are not interested in me

Maybe after her I’ll try
Even if they do reject me, they may consider me after they have tried dating someone else

My emotions overload
I am overwhelmed by my intense and complicated emotions

Almost hurt myself to let them go
I have gone to extreme and sometimes harmful measures to try and let go of my feelings for you

I tried to call
I attempted to reach out to you

I got no answer
You did not answer my call or respond to my attempts at communication

Leave a message
I hoped to leave you a message expressing my feelings and seeking reconciliation

I never learn
I struggle to let go of my feelings and continue to pursue a relationship with you, even when it is not reciprocated

You drink when you’re bored
You turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as drinking, to distract yourself from boredom or loneliness

Lie when you’re scared
You are not always honest about your thoughts and feelings, especially when you are afraid

Old pair of sneakers need repair
Our relationship needs fixing, but it is too late to repair the damage done

Wish I didn't
I wish I could change the past and avoid the pain I am currently experiencing.
