Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse

You know I said I'm sorry
You don’t believe my stories
Then it all came crashing down
I know you tried to warn me
That you’ve been leaving slowly
Then I fell right to the ground

Pre Chorus

Wish I could tell you I'm okay
I’m alone
Spend every night
Listen to our songs
You’re just a memory tho

Chorus

Tryna forget about it
You’re all I ever wanted
Tell myself I'm over it
But feelings don’t, don't lie
Drinking in the morning
Getting so damn good at hiding it
Tell myself I'm over it
But feelings don’t, don't lie

Verse

You said our love was fading
I wish we could have made it
Guess we’ll never really know
I try to drink away the
Memories we saved up
But I can’t seem to let go

Pre Chorus

Wish I could tell you I'm okay
I’m alone
Spend every night
Listen to our songs
You’re just a memory tho

Chorus

Tryna forget about it
You’re all I ever wanted
Tell myself I'm over it
But feelings don’t, don't lie
Drinking in the morning
Getting so damn good at hiding it
Tell myself I'm over it
But feelings don’t, don't lie

Bridge

Cuz feelings
Don’t don't don't don't lie
I wish you
Were right here by my side
Cuz feelings
Don’t don't don't don't lie
I need you but I’m

Chorus

Tryna forget about it
You’re all I ever wanted
Tell myself I'm over it
But feelings don’t, don't lie
Drinking in the morning
Getting so damn good at hiding it




Tell myself I'm over it
But feelings don’t, don't lie
