Fletcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said what you needed,
I never could go back,
My memory's painted
Hope that i faded,
In all these photographs.
And i can see myself,
And i know that i'll
Never be your friend
Sometimes it's so easy
To pretend,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word.
Promises broken,
Words that were spoken,
They never meant a thing,
I scratch at the surface,
Never was worth it,
The silence deafening
And i can see myself,
Coming back again.
And i know that i'll
Never be your friend
Sometimes it's so easy
To pretend,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word.
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word,
And i won't breathe a word
And i won't breathe a word.
The lyrics of Fletcher's song "Wishlist" seem to be about the aftermath of a breakup, where the singer is reflecting on the relationship and trying to come to terms with their feelings. The opening lines suggest that they tried to give the other person what they wanted and needed, but ultimately couldn't make it work. The memories of the relationship are painted with hope, but that hope has faded, leaving only photographs as a reminder of what was.
The second verse describes the broken promises and empty words that were exchanged during the relationship. The singer scratches at the surface, perhaps trying to uncover the truth or make sense of what went wrong. But ultimately, they feel that it wasn't worth it and the silence between them is deafening.
The repeating lines of "And i won't breathe a word" suggest that the singer is keeping their feelings and thoughts to themselves, perhaps out of fear of being hurt again or wanting to avoid a confrontation. They acknowledge that sometimes it's easier to pretend and keep up appearances, rather than confronting the truth head-on.
Overall, the song seems to be a poignant reflection on the complicated emotions that can arise after a breakup. The singer is grappling with their feelings of loss and disappointment, while also trying to find a way to move on.

Said what you wanted,
You articulated your desires.
Said what you needed,
You articulated your necessities.
I never could go back,
It's impossible for me to return to the past.
My memory's painted
My recollections are colored.
Hope that i faded,
My optimism weakened.
In all these photographs.
It's evident in every picture.
And i can see myself,
I have vivid memory.
Coming back again.
I keep revisiting the past.
And i know that i'll
I am aware that I will
Never be your friend
I will never be in your social circle.
Sometimes it's so easy
It can be effortless at times.
To pretend,
To act as if things are different.
And i won't breathe a word,
I won't tell anyone.
Promises broken,
Assurances were unfulfilled.
Words that were spoken,
The utterances you made.
They never meant a thing,
They were meaningless.
I scratch at the surface,
I merely explore the exterior.
Never was worth it,
It was never worth the effort.
The silence deafening
The absence of sound is overwhelming.
And i won't breathe a word,
I won't tell anyone.
And i won't breathe a word,
I won't tell anyone.
And i won't breathe a word,
I won't tell anyone.
And i won't breathe a word
I won't tell anyone.
