Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe we could talk tomorrow
When I'm not so hungover
I miss you at the worst times
I miss you even though it's over
You cared when it was convenient
You said that you didn't mean it
You'd rather be alone, you'd rather be a ghost
And I don't wanna believe it, yeah

(Na, na, na, na)
I miss you even though that it's over
(Na, na, na, na)
I miss you even though that it's over

Yeah, got me feelin pathetic for myself
I just don't get it
I could be empathetic
We sleep in the same bed
Feels like we're on different planets
I gotta protect myself from something I'll just regret
I'm holding a knife and running, not knowing where I'm headed

Forgive me for what I've done wrong
I wanna say sorry but it's been so long
I'm up all night, but sleepin' in late
I know that you'll be gone when I'm awake
So

Maybe we could talk tomorrow
When I'm not so hungover
I miss you at the worst times
I miss you even though it's over
You cared when it was convenient
You said that you didn't mean it
You'd rather be alone, you'd rather be a ghost
And I don't wanna believe it, yeah

(Na, na, na, na)
I miss you even though that it's over
(Na, na, na, na)
I miss you even though that it's over

Got me feelin' pathetic for myself
I just don't get it
We feel the same way, don't know how to fuckin' express it
We wanna save each other from something we'll both regret
It's like running with scissors, pretending we're gonna learn our lesson
Forget I said it

Forgive me for what I've done wrong
I wanna say sorry but it's been so long
I'm up all night, I'm sleepin' in late
I know that you'll be gone when I'm awake
So

Maybe we could talk tomorrow
When I'm not so hungover
I miss you at the worst times
I miss you even though it's over
You cared when it was convenient
You said that you didn't mean it
You'd rather be alone, you'd rather be a ghost
And I don't wanna believe it, so

(Na, na, na, na)
I miss you even though that it's over
(Na, na, na, na)
I miss you even though that it's over

Forgive me for what I've done wrong

Letra

[Coro]
Tal vez podamos hablar mañana
Cuando no tenga tanta resaca
Te extraño en los peores momentos
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Te importaba cuando era conveniente
Dices que no lo decías en serio
Prefieres estar solo, prefieres ser un fantasma
Y no quiero creerlo, sí


[Post-Chorus]
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado


[Verso 1]
Si, me haces sentir patético
Para mí, simplemente no lo entiendo
Podría ser empático, dormimos en la misma cama
Se siente como si estuviéramos en diferentes planes
Tengo que protegerme de algo que lamentaré.
Estoy sosteniendo el cuchillo y corriendo sin saber a dónde me dirijo


[Pre-Chorus]
Perdoname por lo que he hecho mal
Quiero decir que lo siento pero ha pasado tanto tiempo
Estoy despierto toda la noche, pero durmiendo hasta tarde
Sé que te habrás ido cuando me despierte
Así que, oh-oh



[
Estribillo]
Tal vez podamos hablar mañana
Cuando no tenga tanta resaca
Te extraño en los peores momentos
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Te importaba cuando era conveniente
Dices que no lo decías en serio
Prefieres estar solo, prefieres ser un fantasma
Y no quiero creerlo, sí


[Post-Chorus]
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado


[Verso 2]
Me haces sentir patético
Para mí, simplemente no lo entiendo
Nos sentimos de la misma manera, no sabemos como expresarlo
Queremos salvar al otro de algo que ambos lamentaremos
Es como correr con tijeras, fingiendo que vamos a aprender la lección
Olvida que lo dije


[Pre-Chorus]
Perdóname por lo que he hecho mal
Quiero decir que lo siento pero ha pasado tanto tiempo
Estoy despierto toda la noche, estoy durmiendo hasta tarde
Sé que te habrás ido cuando me despierte
Así que, oh-oh


[Estribillo]
Tal vez podamos hablar mañana
Cuando no tenga tanta resaca
Te extraño en los peores momentos
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Te importaba cuando era conveniente
Dices que no lo decías en serio
Prefieres estar solo, prefieres ser un fantasma
Y no quiero creerlo, así que, oh-oh


[Post-Chorus]
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos a pesar de que ha terminado

[Pre-Chorus]
Perdoname por lo que he hecho mal
Quiero decir que lo siento pero ha pasado tanto tiempo
Estoy despierto toda la noche, estoy durmiendo hasta tarde
Sé que te habrás ido cuando me despierte
Así que, oh-oh

[
Estribillo]
Tal vez podamos hablar mañana
Cuando no tenga tanta resaca
Te extraño en los peores momentos
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Te importaba cuando era conveniente
Dices que no lo decías en serio
Prefieres estar solo, prefieres ser un fantasma
Y no quiero creerlo, así que, oh-oh



[Post-Chorus]
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
Na, na-na, na-na
Te echo de menos aunque se haya acabado
