Na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
I'm not sorry
I said I love you
When I was drunk
But I think it's time ye
I see you inside my walls
And I feel like a ghost on the dance floor
I'm still playing the fender you got me
I'm still playing the songs that you taught me
Hands were broken wounds are still open
But deep down it's better without you
I think I should stop you don't deserve this
On the road back home I still play this
You can start the war I'll just end this
If you're bad I'm worse fifty one fifty
You got one, I got six now we history
All it took was leaving me on read once
I see right through your white lies
And you know that I was the best one
Pick up the phone to say fuck you too
Baby what do you expect me to do
Now she's getting married with some other dude
Got the invitation on the way back home
Pick up the phone to say fuck you too
Baby what do you expect me to do
Now she's getting married with some other dude
Got the invitation on the way back home
Five shots
And seven cigarettes
And now I'm wasting time
Feeling the same things the same things
And I do this
Every late night
Cause I'm an addict
To all the same things the same things
One more sip to take off the edge ye
One more sip to kill all the sorrow
You got me back on the drugs ye
I leave my dates to meet with the plugs ye
I guess we went too fast and we're both bad
Made me gamble with my life, drive to cliffs drunk
I know you don't confess cause you're fragile
Is it too hard on your ego just to say it
Made six bad decisions don't regret one
All my devils say hello! when I get some
In my system you can sail through the Dead Sea
I'm used to sinking with the ship so do not test me
Pick up the phone to say fuck you too
Baby what do you expect me to do
Now she's getting married with some other dude
Got the invitation on the way back home
Pick up the phone to say fuck you too
Baby what do you expect me to do
Now she's getting married with some other dude
Got the invitation on the way back home
The lyrics of ZAK Margio's song "Love Letter" portray a complex emotional journey of someone who is grappling with their feelings after a breakup. The song begins with a sense of defiance and self-expression, as the singer declares, "I'm not sorry, I said I love you when I was drunk." This line suggests that the singer may have expressed their true feelings under the influence of alcohol but is now dealing with the repercussions.
The next few lines, "But I think it's time ye, get off your high horse, I see you inside my walls, and I feel like a ghost on the dance floor," depict the lingering presence of the ex-partner in the singer's mind and emotions. They feel haunted by memories of their relationship, symbolized by the image of a ghost on a dance floor. The mention of playing the fender and songs taught by the ex indicates that the singer is still holding on to elements of their past, despite the wounds and brokenness.
The lyrics then take a more confrontational tone, as the singer suggests that the ex does not deserve their attention or affection, stating, "I think I should stop, you don't deserve this." They emphasize their desire to move on and end any further engagement with the ex, declaring, "You can start the war, I'll just end this." Furthermore, the line "If you're bad I'm worse fifty one fifty" implies that the singer is willing to match or surpass any negative actions the ex might exhibit.
The second part of the song explores the singer's struggles to cope with their emotions after the breakup. The repetition of "Five shots and seven cigarettes, and now I'm wasting time" indicates their reliance on vices to numb their pain and distract themselves. They admit to being an addict to the same things, suggesting a pattern of unhealthy coping mechanisms. The singer also mentions their attraction to danger and recklessness, referring to gambling their life and driving drunk to cliffs.
The lyrics continue to depict the singer's resentment and anger towards their ex, with lines such as "Made six bad decisions don't regret one, all my devils say hello when I get some." Here, the singer implies that their actions are a form of rebellion against the ex's hold on them. The mention of sinking with the ship and not wanting to be tested suggests that the singer has a self-destructive streak and may be prone to sabotaging their own happiness.
The song concludes with a repetition of the refrain, "Pick up the phone to say fuck you too, baby what do you expect me to do, now she's getting married with some other dude, got the invitation on the way back home." These lines encapsulate the final stage of the singer's journey, where they realize that their ex has moved on and is now marrying someone else. The invitation becomes a symbol of their final acceptance that the relationship is truly over, despite their earlier resistance.
Overall, "Love Letter" depicts a mixture of emotions and actions characteristic of someone grappling with a breakup. It explores defiance, resentment, addiction, and self-destructive tendencies, all within the context of the singer's struggle to come to terms with the end of their relationship.
