Lost Me
Giveon Lyrics

(Ho-oh, oh)
Repeating sound to add a musical effect to the song

(Oh, oh, oh)
Repeating sound to add a musical effect to the song

Was it all my fault?
Asking a question about the mistakes made in a past relationship

Maybe one day I'll grow
Hoping to improve and mature as a person

I'm not fixing what broke us
Not interested in repairing a broken relationship

Instead, I'm in this ride and I barely know her
Focused on a new relationship and still getting to know the other person

But she already know what it is
The other person has a clear understanding of the boundaries and expectations in the relationship

I'm not lookin' for the one
Not searching for a serious or committed relationship

Later, but for now I'm havin' fun
Preferring to enjoy life and live in the moment

I'm done 'cause I always get hurt
Tired of getting hurt in past relationships

Won't be here for long
Not planning to stay in the relationship for a long time

Baby, you can hate me if you want
Acknowledging that the other person might not be happy with the situation

But now I gotta put myself first
Choosing to prioritize one's own needs and desires

We can kiss, we can touch (yeah)
Engaging in physical intimacy in the relationship

And do it often
Frequently participating in physical intimacy in the relationship

But if you're here lookin' for love
If the other person wants a serious and committed relationship

That's when you've lost me
The other person has lost the interest of the artist

Nights spent all alone (hate it)
Not enjoying being alone at night

Won't be here for long (face it)
Not planning to stay in the current relationship for a long time

Put your number in my phone but don't save it
Taking the other person's phone number but not saving it to avoid being reminded of the relationship

(Please, don't, please, don't fall for me)
Small interjection to emphasize the artist's desire to avoid emotional attachment

Visit once or twice and then you made assumptions
The other person made incorrect assumptions about the nature of the relationship after only a few visits

Thinkin' it was more
Believing that the relationship was deeper or had more potential than it actually did

Now you're understanding that it all meant nothing to me, yeah
The other person is realizing that the artist never had deeper feelings for them

It wasn't all my fault (mm-mm)
Clarification that the singer was not wholly responsible for the relationship's failure

Just thought I'd let you know (yeah, yeah)
Mentioning this for the other person's benefit

Something's gotten into me
Feeling a change or shift in one's behavior or perspective

Ever since you let me go
Implying that the shift happened after the previous relationship ended

No matter how good you think somebody is
No one is perfect, and it's important to remember that

Always protect your heart
Take care of one's own emotional wellbeing and be cautious in relationships

There's no such thing as a perfect relationship
Relationships are inherently complex and have flaws

Because there is no such thing as perfect people
People are imperfect and make mistakes, which inevitably affects relationships

So just learn from it and move forward
Instead of dwelling on the past, use relationships as opportunities to grow and learn

(Ho-oh, oh) lost me
Repeating sound to add a musical effect to the song
