Twenty Eight
The Weeknd - Lyrics

This house is not a home to you
You are not comfortable in this place, even though it is supposed to be your home.

But you decide to go ahead and lay down, lay down
Despite feeling out of place, you choose to stay and rest here for a while.

There are no words to describe the depth of your indifference
Your lack of interest and care is beyond explanation or comprehension.

Cause I see you’re here to stay
Despite your lack of attachment or interest in this place, you have decided to remain here for the time being.

Should of known to pick my fate
I should have been more careful in my decision-making, and perhaps I would not be in this situation now.

Hey there lonely girl
Addressing a woman who appears to be alone and searching for companionship.

Did you have to tell your friends
Why did you feel the need to share intimate details with your friends about our relationship?

About the way I got you screaming my name
Why did you publicize our sexual encounters and my ability to please you?

Did you have to tell the world
Why did you feel the need to broadcast our private matters to the entire world?

Now your girls all wanna fuck
As a result of your actions, your female friends are now interested in engaging in sexual activities with me.

Girl you could've been the one
You had potential to be a special person in my life.

Now gotta change my number twice a month
I am receiving unwanted attention and therefore must change my contact information regularly to avoid further communication.

When you could have simply kept it on the down low
You could have chosen to keep our relationship a secret and not share intimate details with others.

Baby if I knew you'd be living in my sheets
If I had known you would become so attached to me and want to constantly be in my presence, I would have avoided starting a relationship with you.

I wouldn't have shown you any love
I would have kept my distance and not shown affection towards you.

I would have left you in the club
I would have avoided entering a relationship with you and left you alone to continue searching for companionship elsewhere.

You said you don't belong
You have expressed a feeling of not fitting in or not being at home in certain situations and places.

You keep saying there's no one
You repeatedly express the feeling that you are alone or lacking companionship.

And there's no where to go
You feel stuck or without options in your current situation.

But who keeps calling on your phone?
Someone seems to be regularly reaching out to you, despite your feelings of loneliness and lack of options.

Baby ooh, ay
Interjection and expression of strong emotion and feeling.
