Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many times I wrote of you
Got lost in my thoughts I let em loose
I won't take em back I will not lose
I know it's been a long while
Reminiscing gotta alotta miles
2018 started I'm wild
On this road I chose I dial
I'm callin' back I had options
I chose the risky route
Wrote about the doubts
Turned it into sound
Turned my life around
Downed and played twice
Aye
Even three times lookin' back in my life
So the first was the worst constantly drownin'
But now I can't help feelin' grateful
Only you were the reason I was able
I said what I had to say I'm so grateful
Really thank you for what you did girl I'm grateful
Grateful
Grateful
Woah
Grateful
Grateful
Grateful
Are you drunk
What're you doin'
You lookin' like a fool
Here you go again
You don't wanna win
All the time you spent
She never listen
Why you still on her
You know you waste your words
She don't deserve you
She win and you lose
I know I know
The past causin' my lows
Grateful I suppose
Lying to the ones who love me
The truth goes to who hurt me
Ion know myself anymore
Imma shell of my former self
Drownin' in my bad health
Mental health
In the crowd
At least I am sober now
Drunk on you in the sound
The logic missin'
Now I'm distant
Healin' but its takin' too long
Hope this the last time I dwell on you inna song
Yeah forreal
I'm off this one
So alone
So long
So long
In the first verse, the singer reflects on his past relationship with someone, acknowledging that he has thought about them a lot and has written about them in the past. However, he is now choosing to move on from those thoughts and not take them back because he has a lot of miles left to go in his life. The singer started off wild in 2018 and chose to take a risky route in his life. He reflects on how he has turned his life around, despite the doubts he had before. He has had some downs in his life, but now he feels grateful, and he knows that the person he's talking to was the reason he was able to make it through those tough times. This person helped him see that everything would work out, and for that, he is grateful.
In the second verse, the singer is talking to himself, trying to come to terms with the fact that his relationship with this person is over. He's trying to move on, but he can't help but have feelings of gratitude towards this person. Even though he knows that he shouldn't be wasting his time on her, he can't help it. He's grateful for what she did for him and knows that he needed her to make it through the tough times. The singer reflects on the fact that he's lying to the ones who love him and that the past is causing his lows. He hopes that this will be the last time he dwells on her in a song, and he knows that he needs to move on.

So alone
I am incredibly lonely
So long
Farewell or goodbye for a significant duration of time
