BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
I still remember it all
- Would've, could've, should've, words bouncing in my head
- Hypothetically wondering, did I have to more?
- Asking myself unanswerable questions, believing in lore
- You would love me forever, at least that's what you swore
- It's been a long, long time since we broke up
- In the empty parking lot as the rain fell
- It was supposed to be fun turning twenty one
- But now I'm all alone with my thoughts
- It was cold outside as I held your hand
- Watching the dry leaves fall from the trees
- And then I told you: "I wish this would never end."
- And you answered with: "It doesn't have to."
- Oh, you were quite convincing and I was quite the fool
- As you picked me up and then you went ahead and used me as a tool
- I let you take me to places I have never seen before
- Because I was so convinced that you were the one
- And I saw the "Welcome to New York" sign as we headed home
- In your dad's old pickup truck and
- Remember when we picked up apples in upstate?
- I still remember it all
- We played Sparks Fly on repeat as you looked at me
- Almost running the red light in the process
- And I giggled and blushed as I kicked my feet
- While some old rom com was playing on the TV
- I tried so hard to make things work
- But you were still leaving space for her
- And I sat on the stairwell looking at my phone
- As the hours passed and you still weren't home
- When you finally arrived at 2:30 A.M.
- You smelled like a combination of vodka, weed and sex
- But I didn't want to know it was true 'cause I didn't wanna lose you
- And you took that for granted and went to bed and
- I sat on the kitchen island with a plate of food
- You sat next to me asked if it was "for me or for you?"
- I was hungry, but I didn't want to sound rude
- So I stood up and mumbled: "It's for you."
- You never cared about how I felt or what I wanted
- And I know some of these details aren't important
- Remember how you gaslighted me at my best friends engagement party?
- I still remember it all
- And probably, most likely
- When we turn thirty
- I'll still feel something for you
- Oh, I'm out here blue, what to do?
- Friends come and go and the seasons change
- But I'm still here where you left me babe
- I don't wanna drive past that parking lot ever again
- 'Cause then all the memories come flooding back
- I don't know if we got lost in translation or I asked for too much
- Nor will I ever know why you suddenly wanted to break up
- 'Cause you kept me a secret, but I kept you like an oath
- Because I swore to love you and protect you, but it didn't go both ways
- They say all's well that ends well until it didn't at all
- And I was risking losing my mind in the name of love
- But then I always remember that one fateful fall
- I still remember it all
- And we don't talk much, so I guess things haven't changed
- 'Cause your lack of communication caused me some deep rage
- And even though for some time I was just a girl you banged on your couch
- I wanted something more, but you jumped up at the sound
- 'Cause I know you got commitment issues and I accept that
- But every time you argue with me, I think I can fix you and that's a fact
- And obviously you only break your favorite toys
- You play with them, throw them away, then feel nostalgia for it, hey
- And I didn't understand how after the breakup you were perfectly fine
- As if you leaving me didn't shock you deeper than an earthquake
- And although after all this time, I'm not even close to being alright
- But I came to terms that you didn't love me, I still remember it all
- So was it over then and is it over now?
- Was it all for show in my big, blue ball gown?
- Cause if the shoe didn't fit, would you have forced it?
- Or would you just wait until midnight came?
- If this were a movie, I would've rewritten the ending
- So we'd be kissing in the rain as a love song played with the credits
- And then the curtain would fall as a symbolism of how
- We fell in love, I still remember it all
- 'Cause just how you won the girl, you lost her
- Did you love me as a person or who I was back then?
- Because people change and the feelings, too
- And I guess that's just what happened to you
- And people say I'm bitter and people say I'm jealous
- Is it really my fault that I'm overzealous
- To get a man back just for the feeling?
- Just for the rush of an argument that'll leave me reeling?
- I've been known to constantly act on instinct
- And I don't think with my mind, I think with feelings
- I promise you forever and always even though I can't give it
- And I say empty promises in hopes you'll need it
- I forgive, but I don't forget, and you can tell
- Every time we fight, I tell you I still remember that one day
- You appeared drunk, crashed my car and ran away
- You think I'm dumb, you think you're smart, but I still remember it all
- And probably, most likely
- When we turn thirty
- I'll still feel something for you
- Oh, I'm out here blue, what to do?
- Don't blame me for anything when all you have is yourself to blame
- Pick up the phone instead of the controller 'cause this is not a game
- I'm no damsel in distress, not someone that you can tame
- But every time I feel sad, I go on my phone and look up your name
- I can't believe
- I'm back in the
- Old habit
- Of fallin', fallin'
- Fallin' down
- The rabbit hole
- It's getting old
- I know, ay no
- I can't believe
- I'm back in the
- Old habit
- Of fallin', fallin'
- Fallin' down
- The rabbit hole
- It's getting old
- I know, ay no
- And probably, most likely
- When we turn thirty
- I'll still feel something for you
- Oh, I'm out here blue, what to do?
