Overrated
Kevin Ross Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Didn't even bother askin' you if you're awake
Yeah, I just need somebody to come and fill this room
And hopefully you stay 'cause it feels better with you

Empty bottles on the floor with a bed, a pretty faces
But most ain't really change it, I need something familiar
When you do this every night you start to fuckin' hate it
That's just how I'm feelin' lately

I need someone like you

Cause I'll take love any day over nights of being single
It's gettin' to the point I can't cope
I got everything I want but what I need most
You know that I'll choose love any day over nights of bein' single
It's gettin' to the point I can't fake it
This single life is just too overrated
It's overrated, oh…
It's overrated, overrated, overrated
It's gettin' to the point I can't fake it
Single life is just too overrated

She said I got your text, are you around?
I only hear from you when you're in town
And you said that we're friends and it ain't all about sex
And yet, we always end up gettin' down
I wonder if you ever hit me up out of the blue
And I didn't just drop everything for you
Or if we did kick it and I didn't let you hit it
Will I ever hear from you again? I'm just sayin'

I know what she want, she just wanna feels special
But I can't give her, when she's ain't there
Even if she deserve it, I know that ain't fair
I think about the way I treat her
Start to feel a little regretful
Cause she worthy of much more
Make me wonder why she dealin' with this emotionally
Unavailable...

Cause I'll take love any day over nights of being single
It's gettin' to the point I can't cope
I got everything I want but what I need most
You know that I'll choose love any day over nights of bein' single
It's gettin' to the point I can't fake it
This single life is just too overrated
It's overrated, oh...
It's overrated, overrated, overrated
It's gettin' to the point I can't fake it
Single life is just too overrated, it's overrated

Hey Kevin, it's me
Just wanted to see how things are goin' with you
I know we haven't talked in a while
But you were on my mind
I'm really sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now

I just had to figure somethings so
But I miss you, give m

Being single isn't satisfying anymore, and even though I have everything, I still feel incomplete. Love is more important to me than being single. My life has become unbearable to fake these emotions of being satisfied with the single life. It's just too overrated and I can't bear it anymore.

She questions if their relationship is more than a hookup. Wondering if he only reaches out to her when he's in the same town. She wonders if he would ever hit her up without an ulterior motive just to spend some quality time with her. Or if they were to hang out without getting physical, would he still hang out with her in the future?
