this is a song about all the people who like to care until they don't- who left others used and discarded. you're never enough for them, and that's not your fault. it's entirely theirs. you did nothing wrong, you're more than enough <3

 this could have various interpretations, and you're free to just vibe with it whichever way you perceive the lyrics meaning to be! i'm not going to explain mine, as i have my reasonings. 

i've been crying all day. i should save my tears for another.

and yes, this is one of those poppy upbeat songs with sad lyrics 😂😭 ( those 2 emojis are me everyday ). and yes, i intentionally referenced two of the weeknd's songs here bc why not?? i sometimes reference other artists songs in my lyrics. in my last song 'rollercoaster', i referenced 'die for you' ( the weeknd ) and message in a bottle ( taylor swift ). i slay???

THE OUTRO IS * chef's kiss* AND YOU'LL SEE WHY-


1ST VERSE:

Moth to a flame

You're no butterfly

High tides came, a bit too kind

Oh, look at that, we' re out of time


PRE-CHORUS:

It's the weekend

No, I'm not catching feelings

No, not this time

Fuck it, I'm about to cry

For like the hundredth time...


CHORUS:

I honestly believed in you

And all you ever said was truth

It turns out, that's not true

That's not true

If you did, you wouldn't leave me blue

You should've spoken truth

That's the earnest thing to do

You know, I honestly believed in you


2ND VERSE:

How could I forget? You lied

Not just once, but twice

Maybe even more times

It's something I don't want to realize

But I'm gonna have to recognize

Wrong from right

And you my "friend", just ain't right


PRE-CHORUS:

It's the weekend

I should be daydreaming

Yet I'm just thinking

Of how I shouldn't be catching feelings

Fuck it, I'm about to sigh

For the hundredth time...


CHORUS:

I honestly believed in you

And all you ever said was truth

It turns out, that's not true

That's not true

If you did, you wouldn't leave me blue

You should've spoken truth

That's the earnest thing to do

You know, I honestly believed in you


BRIDGE:

All you do, is run and hide

What's at stake? Our friendship's life

You're more than elated, to watch it die

All you do, is run and hide

6 months too late. Our friendships a lie

You're more than elated, to watch it die

So watch it die, go watch it die


BREAKDOWN:

It's the weekend

No, I'm not catching feelings

No, not this time

Fuck it, I'm about to cry

For like the hundredth time...


CHORUS:

I honestly believed in you

And all you ever said was truth

It turns out, that's not true

That's not true

If you did, you wouldn't leave me blue

You should've spoken truth

That's the earnest thing to do

You know, I honestly believed in you


OUTRO: 

I honestly believed in you

And I know, you did too....
