Free Throw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But back then I'd stay awake just to see your face
I wouldn't sleep for days
But now I sleep for days
I never should of said that I loved you
I never should of said a god damn thing
I should have kept my fucking mouth shut
And then it would have stayed, it probably would have stayed, I know it would have stayed the same.

These days I like to sleep my life away
I prefer to stay in bed and avoid facing the world
But back then I'd stay awake just to see your face
I used to be so in love with you that I would sacrifice my sleep just to be with you
I wouldn't sleep for days
I was so obsessed with you that I neglected my own health and wellbeing
But now I sleep for days
I am no longer interested in pursuing a relationship with you and have become apathetic
I never should of said that I loved you
I regret expressing my emotions to you and wish I had kept them to myself
I never should of said a god damn thing
I should have stayed quiet instead of sharing my feelings with you
I should have kept my fucking mouth shut
I realize now that it would have been better if I had kept my thoughts and emotions to myself
And then it would have stayed, it probably would have stayed, I know it would have stayed the same.
If I had not spoken up, things might have remained the way they were and our relationship would not have changed
