Found out just what you're saying.
Your friends have all been telling me.
That they've always liked me better.
You don't have to lie to me anymore.
Because I already do it for you.
And I already do it for you.
You call me just to yell it out.
The words you couldn't live without.
It's something you wouldn't know.
You call me just to scream it out.
But I'm not the one to write it out.
It's something you wouldn't know.
I woke up on your best friend's couch.
Nice guys never kiss and tell.
It's kinda funny how you're always telling me
What goes around always comes around.
And it comes around...
You don't have to lie to me anymore.
Because I already do it for you.
And I already do it for you.
You call me just to yell it out.
The words you couldn't live without.
It's something you wouldn't know.
You call me just to scream it out.
But I'm not the one to write it out.
It's something you wouldn't know.
And I want this so bad.
You know I want this so bad.
But it's just not what you wanted.
You call it, you write it.
I couldn't deny it.
I couldn't just write this out.
When you wake up, just save it.
It's something you wouldn't know.
You call me just to yell it out.
The words you couldn't live without.
It's something you wouldn't know.
You call me just to scream it out.
But I'm not the one to write it out.
It's something you wouldn't know.
I won't stay with you in this moment.
I won't stay with you in this moment.
The song "Made For TV" by Last Winter appears to be about a relationship that is coming to an end. The opening lines, "Wake up, this is your last lullaby," indicate a finality to the relationship. The singer has been hearing from their mutual friends that they are liked better than their partner. They also mention that their partner always calls them just to scream or yell, without ever writing anything down. This seems to indicate that their partner is being emotional and impulsive rather than having meaningful conversations.
The line "I woke up on your best friend's couch" suggests a moment of betrayal, infidelity, or at least a break in trust in the relationship. The notion that "nice guys never kiss and tell" implies that the singer is trying to maintain a certain level of respect for their partner. However, there's a sense of irony when the partner says that "what goes around always comes around", as they may be projecting their own insecurities or mistakes onto the singer.
The chorus repeats the line "You don't have to lie to me anymore / Because I already do it for you / And I already do it for you." This could be interpreted as the singer finally realizing that their partner has been lying to them or that they've been in denial about the state of their relationship. The recurring refrain of "It's something you wouldn't know" suggests that there's a disconnect between the partners in terms of what they truly understand or feel about the relationship.
