Someone New
BANKS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I wish you knew the deal, gotta learn from far away
And I simply needed space
Space for me to be, and I think you need it too
Though I know you call me selfish for assuming
I did this for you too,
You still got me around your finger
Even though I'm far away
Everything I do,
I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make,
I only make for you!
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise, one day I'll come back for you
Oh, you say you hate me now,
And you burn me with your words
Callin' me a fool
Saying that I've fucked up
Everything, and you'll never forgive me
Though I'm doin' this for you
Baby, can't you see if there is such a thing
Of loving someone so much that you need
To give them time to let them breathe
But you don't understand,
I wish you understood
Oh, I hope one day you do
Everything I do,
I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make,
I only make for you
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise, one day I'll come back for you
Believe in you, believe in me
We're meant to be together
I told you weren't lyin', I know you aren't relyin'
And now I am supplyin' you the time and space
To let you grow into the person
That I know, that I know you could be
And I can be one too
And I'll come back to you,
And I am ready for you, baby I am ready for you now
I'm not ready for you now
Please don't hate me
Everything I do,
I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make, I'm gonna make for you!
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise, one day I'll come back for you
I promise, one day, I'll come back to you
I promise, one day, I'll come back to you
I promise baby, one day, I'll come back to you
I promise baby, one day, I'll come back to you

My girlfriend left me and it broke me really bad at the time. But a month later, I called her and it was just like before. I understand why she didnāt want to be in a relationship with me.
She said she was mentally exhausted and that she was afraid of hurting me again. She felt guilty for all the things sheās done, although I forgave her each time. She was so confused and drained. But when I attempted to kiss her, she didnāt step back. She hugged me like she used to do. She danced with me, with that old smile on her face. She said she missed me, but although she was physically there, her mind and soul werenāt with me still.
I wonder if she feels this way, too. I wonder if sheās not ready for me or itās just that she doesnāt love me. I wonder if we could be together, gently, without hurting each other.
I find it so hard to let go. I keep coming back to these songs and into my own heart, dark and lonely.
I wish it didnāt go this way and I wish I could make her feel better. I wish I was stronger than depression or anxiety and could help her get over it. I wish I could be with her at nights she felt cold and scared.
I just still wish I could save her. But I guess sheās still trying to fill my space with that new boy. I know she doesnāt love him. But he makes her feel happier, so does it matter?
Whatever happens, I wish the best for you, my beautiful flower. Be happy with whomever you want, doing the things you love to do.
Because I know that youāll never come back to me.
