Romeo
Phora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm more like the guy on the side (oh, oh)
She delete my text at night
'Cause she said he gon keep you in sight (oh)
If you don't wanna love me for long, baby girl leave me alone
I told you a house ain't a home
I don't drink I'd be acting a fool
When I smoke I don't pass it to you
Who are you with when you're not with me?
Where are your lips when you're not kissing me?
It's like when I talk you don't listen to me
Since school started you're distant from me
I guess I'll go 'til you come my way
Then you make me fold
Hopeless, he goes
Pobrecito
Get to capulet
I'm your romeo
Yeah, last night you got wasted
Know you do it all for attention
You don't want me on your timeline
And, I don't want you in my mentions, yeah
You act like your shit smells like roses
You always put me second
Now, off the hennessy acting a fool, realize I'll never be happy with you
I just can't be happy with you, fuck
Done with your arguments, I'm done with you selfish ways
Done trying to argue with you, that doesn't get me paid
Don't come back when you're lonely
Don't come back running to me
Who are you with when you're not with me?
Where are your lips when you're not kissing me?
It's like when I talk you don't listen to me
Since school started your distant from me
I guess I'll go 'til you come my way
Then you make me fold
Hopeless, he goes
Pobrecito
Get to capulet
I'm your romeo
In Phora's song "Romeo," the artist reflects on the difficulties of a complicated relationship. He compares himself to the "guy on the side" rather than a hero like "Clyde" from Bonnie & Clyde. The woman in the song deletes Phora's texts at night for fear of being caught. Though Phora understands that this woman may not love him for long, he still wants her to leave him alone. He tells her that a house isn't a home, and while he does smoke, he won't pass it to her. Phora also questions whom she is with when she's not with him and where her lips are when she's not kissing him. He feels ignored when he talks to her since school started and is waiting for her to come back to him. However, Phora's reflections turn to bitterness when he sings about her supposed selfish ways and how their arguments are pointless, making it difficult for him to be happy with her.
Line by Line Meaning
She bonnie but I'm not clyde
I'm more like the guy on the side (oh, oh)
She might be attractive, but I am not her partner in crime like Bonnie and Clyde, but rather someone who is just there on the sidelines.
She delete my text at night
'Cause she said he gon keep you in sight (oh)
She deletes my messages because she is worried that someone else might see them and question her loyalty.
If you don't wanna love me for long, baby girl leave me alone
I told you a house ain't a home
If she doesn't plan on loving him for the long haul, it's better for her to leave him be rather than to stay in a loveless relationship. A physical living space doesn't make a home, it's the love shared between people that does.
I don't drink I'd be acting a fool
When I smoke I don't pass it to you
Drinking can make me act foolish, so I avoid it. And when I smoke, I refrain from passing it to you because I care about your health and safety, as well as respecting your choices.
Who are you with when you're not with me?
Where are your lips when you're not kissing me?
It's like when I talk you don't listen to me
Since school started you're distant from me
When we are not together, who are you spending your time with, and where is your attention being given? It feels like you don't hear me when I speak, and your distance since school started is concerning.
I guess I'll go 'til you come my way
Then you make me fold
Hopeless, he goes
Pobrecito
Get to capulet
I'm your romeo
I'll wait until you come back to me, then I immediately feel weak and hopeless, like I am under your spell. This makes me feel pitiful and sad, similar to Romeo of the Capulet family in the famous Shakespearean tragedy.
Yeah, last night you got wasted
Know you do it all for attention
You don't want me on your timeline
And, I don't want you in my mentions, yeah
Last night you got drunk, and I know it's because you want attention. You don't want me to be a part of your social media presence, and likewise, I don't want you to mention me on mine.
You act like your shit smells like roses
You always put me second
Now, off the hennessy acting a fool, realize I'll never be happy with you
I just can't be happy with you, fuck
You act like you're perfect, but you always prioritize me last. Seeing you drunk off of liquor just makes me realize that I can never be happy with you. I can't find happiness with you, and it's frustrating.
Done with your arguments, I'm done with you selfish ways
Done trying to argue with you, that doesn't get me paid
Don't come back when you're lonely
Don't come back running to me
I'm finished with arguing with you and your selfish behavior. It's a waste of time, and it doesn't benefit me in any way. Don't come back to me when you're feeling lonely and in need of companionship, because I won't be there for you.
