On My Mind
snoh aalegra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, you know I miss you, not afraid to admit it
Said you needed time, but you know I wasn't with it
We both know more time just mean you fucking more bitches
Now that's none of my business
In my emotions
Going through these photos, while I go through the motions
Going through these texts, so I can live in moments
Maybe I'm hoping
Times are different
That's not why you're distant
Tell me different
On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
I know I'm out
But somehow I'm still in it
Just know I feel a way
'Cause I know you still feel it
And in my mind
It ain't over, though it's over
Oh, no
It's been a minute, wait
I was gonna hit you but I'm glad I ain't send it
'Cause now I hear you talking shit about how we ended
Everything I said and done, you know that I meant it
Yes, you know that I meant it
Say what you won't say
'Cause I feel the same way
Say what you won't say
It doesn't matter anyways, no
Times are different
That's not why you're distant
Tell me different
On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
(I can't get it off my mind)
On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
(I just feel you all the time)
I know I'm out
But somehow I'm still in it
Just know I feel a way
'Cause I know you still feel it
And in my mind
It ain't over, though it's over
No, no
If I could, then I would see you
Under water, I would breathe you
If I did not, I would still need you
If it was possible to be you
I would, girl, I would lead you
Away from all the evil, all these people
I would treat you like you're me too
Like I need you
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, ooh-woah, yeah
Need you, I really do
I really do (I really do)
Need you
I really do, yeah-yeah

Line by Line Meaning
It's been a minute
It's been a while since we've talked or seen each other
Oh, you know I miss you, not afraid to admit it
I miss you and I'm not embarrassed to say it
Said you needed time, but you know I wasn't with it
You told me you needed space, but I didn't agree with it
We both know more time just mean you fucking more bitches
We both know that the longer you need space, the more likely you are to sleep with other people
Now that's none of my business
I don't want to pry into your personal life
In my emotions
I'm feeling a lot of feelings
Going through these photos, while I go through the motions
I'm looking at old pictures of us while I try to deal with my emotions
Going through these texts, so I can live in moments
I'm reading our old texts to try to relive the memories we shared
Never having closure is the reason I'm open
I still feel connected to you because we never had proper closure
Maybe I'm hoping
I might still be holding onto some hope that we can reconnect
Times are different
Things have changed since we were last together
That's not why you're distant
Our current distance from each other is not solely because of external circumstances
Tell me different
Let me hear a different reason for why you've been distant
Can't get it off my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
I know I'm out
I know we're no longer together
But somehow I'm still in it
But I still feel like we're connected in some way
Just know I feel a way
I want you to be aware of how I'm feeling
'Cause I know you still feel it
Because I have a sense that you're feeling the same way I am
And in my mind, it ain't over, though it's over
I know we're broken up, but in my mind, our relationship isn't completely over
I was gonna hit you but I'm glad I ain't send it
I almost sent you a message, but I'm glad I didn't
'Cause now I hear you talking shit about how we ended
Because I've heard through the grapevine that you're bad-mouthing me and how our relationship ended
Everything I said and done, you know that I meant it
You should know that everything I said and did during our relationship was genuine
Say what you won't say
Be honest and tell me what's really on your mind
It doesn't matter anyways, no
Even if you don't want to talk about it, it won't change how I feel
If I could, then I would see you
If it were possible, I would want to be with you right now
Under water, I would breathe you
I want to be so close to you that it feels like you're a part of me
If I did not, I would still need you
Even if we weren't together, I would still have strong feelings for you
If it was possible to be you
If I could switch places with you, I would
I would, girl, I would lead you
I would guide you and protect you
Away from all the evil, all these people
I want to keep you safe from all the negative influences in the world
I would treat you like you're me too
I would treat you with the same love and care that I treat myself
Like I need you
Like you're an essential part of my life
Need you, I really do
I need you and I want you to know that
I really do
I truly mean it
Yeah-yeah
