Earl Grey
F.N. Lyrics

Is it time to turn the light off?
A question asked in despair about the end of a relationship

Are you happy now? 'Cause I'm not
The singer is unhappy after the break up and is concerned about their former partner's happiness

I'm alone inside a room, made for two
Feeling the void left by the absence of one's former partner after sharing a life together

Like I don't need you
A statement that conveys the opposite: that the singer still needs their former partner

Oh I’ve had my share of nightmares
The emotional distress brought on by the end of a relationship has been compared to a nightmare by the singer

And in every one, you weren’t there
The singer misses their former partner in their darkest times

Now no matter what I do, I'll wake up
The singer has come to realize that they will have to face life without their former partner

But I won't see you
The singer is well aware of the emptiness that will accompany the absence of their former partner

Maybe it's hopeless
The singer questions if there is any hope left for reconciliation

I've written you about a thousand letters
The singer has tried to reach out to their former partner numerous times to no avail

Maybe I'm hoping
Despite the lack of response from their former partner, the singer is still hopeful for a reunion

The rose I gave you would last forever
A symbol of the singer's love that they hoped would endure

Maybe I'm broken
The singer feels damaged by the loss of their former partner

Like the mug you used for your earl grey
The mug shared by the couple is now a metaphor for their broken relationship

Your earl grey
A reference to the tea preferred by the former partner, and by extension, memories of their time together

Is this really what you wanted?
The singer is questioning whether or not the break up is what their former partner really desired

Cause I loved you like I promised
The singer recalls fulfilling their promise to love their former partner, but to no avail

If you're happy now that you split us two
The singer believes their former partner's happiness is now at the expense of their own

Don't tell me the truth
The singer would rather be spared the truth of their former partner's happiness, as it would bring them more pain

Guess I'm out of second chances
The singer acknowledges that the relationship is beyond the possibility of reconciliation

No midnight moon romances
A reference to a lost romantic connection that was once shared under the moonlight

So many moments we won’t know
The singer reflects on missed opportunities and memories they will never make with their former partner

I still have so much to say
Despite the obstacles in their relationship, the singer still has unresolved emotions to express

Now it’s so damn complicated
The singer now finds the relationship more difficult to navigate than ever

And all that’s left are these photos
Memories are all that remain of the singer’s time with their former partner

Just leave the light
A plea to keep hope alive and leave a beacon of emotional light on

Leave the light on
A call to their former partner to leave something of themselves with the singer and not leave them in the dark

Keep air in my
A metaphorical reference to the singer’s emotional state of needing the love of their former partner just as much as they need air to breathe

Air in my lungs
A continuation of the metaphor, emphasizing the singer's emotional dependence to the love of their former partner

Where has our time
The singer mourns the lost time they had with their former partner

Has our time gone?
A question asked in regret for the time that was wasted in the relationship
