[Verse 1]
I can't make you fall in love again
I can't give you back your innocence
Freedom at last, I know you wanted it
But freedom don't last when you got no one left, mm

In this verse, the singer accepts that they can't rekindle the love they once had or restore the innocence their partner has lost. They acknowledge that their partner wanted freedom, but point out that being free can feel empty if you have no one to share it with.

[Chorus]
That's just one more thing about you I don't need in my life
Never gave me goodbye but were gone in high school
You walked out of my life, I still wonder sometimes
What would we have been like? But you were gone in—
That's just one more thing about you I don't need in my life
Never gave me goodbye but were gone in high school
You walked out of my life, I still wonder sometimes
What would we have been like? But you were gone in—

In the chorus, the singer reflects on how their partner left without a proper goodbye, disappearing during high school. They express that they no longer need those unresolved feelings in their life. Despite the closure, they can't help but wonder what their relationship might have been if things had been different. The repetition emphasizes the lingering questions and unresolved nature of the breakup.

[Verse 2]
I can't make you fall in love again
I can't take away your bitterness
I can't make you fall in love again, mm
I can't give you back your tenderness
Sunday afternoons go Adamson's lagoon
Your blurry old tattoos
My faded jelly shoes, a box of applejuice
I'm always late for school
It was never good enough, we were never good enough
It was never really you
So I can't make you fall in love again

Here, the singer reiterates their inability to revive the lost love or heal the bitterness their partner feels. They reminisce about shared memories, like Sunday afternoons and small, personal details. Despite these moments, they acknowledge that their relationship was flawed and that their partner was never truly themselves. Accepting this, the singer knows they can't make their ex fall in love again.

In this repeated chorus, the singer once again dwells on the abrupt departure of their partner during high school and the lack of closure it left them with. They highlight the emotional baggage they don't need anymore, but still can't help wondering about the potential future they missed out on. The repetition underscores the enduring impact of this unresolved relationship on their life.

[Outro]
The light that afternoon exposed the cracks in you
The ones you filled with dust
You're looking so much older, shoulders folded over
Pain curled in the Sun
Now Friday nights alone, They see you in Flamingo's
For the early show
There's lipstick on your throat, you wore too much cologne
And then you stumble home

In the outro, the singer paints a vivid picture of their ex's current state, revealing the wear and tear of life. They note the visible signs of aging and emotional pain. Their ex now spends Friday nights alone at a club, wearing too much cologne and coming home with lipstick marks. This imagery highlights a lonely, unfulfilled existence.
