Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm
Still missing you
And I can't
See the end of this
Just wanna feel your kiss
Against my lips
And now all this time
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you
Realize how much I need you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her
I miss you when I can't sleep
Or right after coffee
Or right when I can't eat
I miss you in my front seat
Still got sand in my sweaters
From nights we don't remember
Do you miss me like I miss you?
Fucked around and got attached to you
Friends can break your heart too, and
I'm always tired but never of you
If I pulled a you on you, you wouldn't like that shit
I put this real out, but you wouldn't bite that shit
I type a text but then I nevermind that shit
I got these feelings but you never mind that shit
Oh oh, keep it on the low
You're still in love with me but your friends don't know
If you wanted me you would just say so
And if I were you, I would never let me go
I don't mean no harm
I just miss you on my arm
Wedding bells were just alarms
Caution tape around my heart
You ever wonder what we could have been?
You said you wouldn't and you fucking did
Lie to me, lie with me, get your fucking fix
Now all my drinks and all my feelings are all fucking mixed
Always missing people that I shouldn't be missing
Sometimes you gotta burn some bridges just to create some distance
I know that I control my thoughts and I should stop reminiscing
But I learned from my dad that it's good to have feelings
When love and trust are gone
I guess this is moving on
Everyone I do right does me wrong
So every lonely night, I sing this song
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her
All alone I watch you watch her
Like she's the only girl you've ever seen
You don't care, you never did
You don't give a damn about me
Yeah, all alone I watch you watch her
She's the only thing you've ever seen
How is it you'll never notice
That you are slowly killing me?
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

Line by Line Meaning
Feeling used
Feeling like you have been taken advantage of
But I'm
Despite feeling used, it is currently happening to me
Still missing you
Despite how I feel, I still want to be with you
And I can't
I am struggling to accept the situation and move on
See the end of this
I can't see how this situation is going to resolve itself
Just wanna feel your kiss
The desire to be with you physically is overwhelming
Against my lips
The desire to kiss you is strong
And now all this time
Despite the passage of time
Is passing by
I still am unable to get over you
But I still can't seem to tell you why
I don't understand why I feel the way I do about you
It hurts me every time I see you
Seeing you causes me great emotional pain
Realize how much I need you
I have come to the realization that I cannot live without you
I hate you I love you
I have conflicting feelings about you
I hate that I love you
I resent having these strong feelings for you
Don't want to, but I can't put
I don't want to feel this way, but I am unable to control my emotions
Nobody else above you
No one can replace the feelings I have for you
You want her, you need her
You are interested in someone else, even though I want it to be me
And I'll never be her
I cannot be someone else, even if I try
I miss you when I can't sleep
Without you, I am unable to get a good night's rest
Or right after coffee
My thoughts remain fixated on you even after consuming caffeine
Or right when I can't eat
The thought of you takes away my appetite
I miss you in my front seat
The spot in my car where you used to sit reminds me of you
Still got sand in my sweaters
I still have physical reminders of the time we spent together
From nights we don't remember
We had such a good time together that some of it is a blur
Do you miss me like I miss you?
I am curious if my absence affects you the same way it does me
Fucked around and got attached to you
I didn't mean to fall for you, but I did
Friends can break your heart too, and
Just because we were friends doesn't mean you didn't hurt me
I'm always tired but never of you
You may drain me, but I am never tired of needing you
If I pulled a you on you, you wouldn't like that shit
If I treated you the way you have treated me, you wouldn't appreciate it
I put this real out, but you wouldn't bite that shit
I try to express my true feelings, but you don't seem to reciprocate
I type a text but then I nevermind that shit
I start to reach out but then I second guess myself
I got these feelings but you never mind that shit
My feelings for you go unnoticed by you
Oh oh, keep it on the low
I want to keep our feelings under wraps to avoid complication
You're still in love with me but your friends don't know
You haven't moved on from me, but you keep it a secret from your friends
If you wanted me you would just say so
If you really wanted me, you would make it known
And if I were you, I would never let me go
If our situations were switched, I would never let you go
I don't mean no harm
I don't want to cause you any pain
I just miss you on my arm
I yearn to have you physically near me
Wedding bells were just alarms
The idea of us getting married was simply a warning sign of impending doom
Caution tape around my heart
I have protected myself emotionally to avoid getting hurt again
You ever wonder what we could have been?
Have you ever considered the potential of our relationship?
You said you wouldn't and you fucking did
You broke your promise and betrayed my trust
Lie to me, lie with me, get your fucking fix
You continue to lie to me and lead me on for your own benefit
Now all my drinks and all my feelings are all fucking mixed
My emotions are heightened by the numbing effect of alcohol
Always missing people that I shouldn't be missing
I find myself yearning for people who are not good for me
Sometimes you gotta burn some bridges just to create some distance
In order to move on, sometimes you need to cut ties completely
I know that I control my thoughts and I should stop reminiscing
I am aware that I need to let go of the past to move forward
But I learned from my dad that it's good to have feelings
My father has taught me that it is important to embrace and express emotions
When love and trust are gone
When the foundation of a relationship is broken
I guess this is moving on
This is how I move past our failed relationship
Everyone I do right does me wrong
Regardless of my good intentions, I am often hurt by those I care about
So every lonely night, I sing this song
This song serves as an outlet for my pain and loneliness
All alone I watch you watch her
I am left to observe you admiring another woman
Like she's the only girl you've ever seen
You are completely infatuated with this other woman
You don't care you never did
You have never truly cared about my feelings
You don't give a damn about me
You have no concern for how your actions affect me
How is it you'll never notice
You seem to be oblivious to the pain you cause me
That you are slowly killing me
The constant hurt and betrayal is slowly chipping away at my emotional wellbeing
