Quit You
Lost Kings Lyrics

Tell me if I'm right
Asking for validation of thoughts and feelings

'cause I've been thinking every time that you reply
Wondering if the other person truly cares or is just reaching out when drunk

that you been drinking
Surmising that the person is only thinking of the singer when under the influence

'Cause the only time you think of me is when the sun is down
Affirming that the other person only remembers the artist at night

Pour another glass and keep on fuckin' me around
Feeling used and manipulated by the other person

Woken by the window
Being jolted awake by an external stimulus

and I'm reminded that My thoughts under my pillow
Acknowledging that one's mind is always racing with thoughts and memories

containing memories of the
Ensuring that the listener knows a list of places will start next

Places where we could have been if it were up to me
Reflecting on missed opportunities and the role of the other person in them

I guess that all your promises were just my fantasies
Realizing that the other person's declarations of love and dedication were insincere

Now I'm addicted to the high you put me on
Admitting that the other person's actions have become an addiction

The minute you arrive, I'm gone
Being unable to resist the other person's presence

But I've been mistaken, oh, you just been playing
Admitting that the other person has been toying with the singer's emotions

Still I'm addicted to the same old Coldplay song
Realizing that the pattern of behavior and addiction has not changed

And every time you turn it on
Confirming that the other person has control over the addiction

God knows I can't fix you
Admitting powerlessness in the relationship

But I can't quit you
Unable to break the addiction and end the relationship

Remind me once again why I'm repeating
Asking for a reminder of why the situation keeps repeating

That we can't be more than friends
Establishing the singer's understanding of the relationship status

I'm just protecting myself from the possibility that you could turn me down
Fearful of rejection and using friendship as a defense mechanism

Thinking that I'm better off if I don't make a sound
Believing that silence is the best course of action

I promise, I promise, I promise myself I won't see you again
Making a promise to end the relationship

Won't answer your calls, no, not at all, or read any text that you send
Enacting specific boundaries to ensure the promise is kept

I promise, I promise, I promise myself this will come to an end
Reiterating the previous promise and commitment to change

'Cause I can't do this again
Concluding that the relationship is harmful and must end for the singer's well-being
