Lately
Jonisa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the things you said
Keep running back through my head
If you were on your way
Then why did I wait another day

And you said maybe
We′ll meet again
Said lately

You don't feel the same

Said, baby
We′ll meet again
Said lately
You've been busy

And now I wanna know
Wanna know
Wanna know
Why we lost control
Lost it all
Lost it all
Will you let me go
Let me go let me go
You know I played along for so long for so long

Baby, you said maybe
We'll meet again
Said lately
You don′t feel the same

Said baby we′ll meet again
Said lately you've been busy

Line by Line Meaning

All the things you said
The words you said keep replaying in my mind

Keep running back through my head
Your words are stuck in my head and I can't stop thinking about them

If you were on your way
If you were really coming to see me

Then why did I wait another day
Why did I waste another day waiting for you if you weren't actually coming?

And you said maybe
You gave me false hope by saying 'maybe'

We'll meet again
We'll have another chance to see each other in the future

Said lately
You recently told me

You don't feel the same
You've lost interest in me

Said, baby
You addressed me affectionately

We'll meet again
We'll have another chance to see each other in the future

Said lately
You recently told me

You've been busy
You've been occupied with other things in life

And now I wanna know
I want to know

Wanna know
I really want to know

Wanna know
I'm so curious about

Why we lost control
Why we lost our connection and couldn't keep it going

Lost it all
We lost everything we had together

Lost it all
We don't have anything left between us

Will you let me go
Can we officially end things between us?

Let me go let me go
I need you to release me from this relationship

You know I played along for so long for so long
I pretended like everything was fine between us for a long time

Baby, you said maybe
You gave me false hope by saying 'maybe'

We'll meet again
We'll have another chance to see each other in the future

Said lately
You recently told me

You don′t feel the same
You've lost interest in me

Said baby we′ll meet again
There's still a possibility of us seeing each other in the future

Said lately you've been busy
You've been preoccupied with other things in life recently
