Regardless, there were things that happened that made her upset, and they still come up as thoughts in the present, and you can tell that she hates that they return to her. Either she's been hurt the same way in past relationships and that trauma is affecting how she sees this one, or the small things that happened between the current relationship were previously discussed but they still bother her because of how hurt she felt. "Little do you know I'm still haunted by the memories" Why? she addresses it further on but she's afraid of drilling a nail into the relationship because what he did maybe wasn't that big of an issue and she just tells herself it's overthinking. She chooses to deal with her emotions on her own, rather than going to her partner about it. "Little do you know how I'm breaking while you fall asleep" The lyrics aren't a conversation, they're isolated thoughts from two different people in the same relationship who just happen to be thinking of the same thing. Meanwhile, "Alex" is completely aware of it and is trying to do better to mend the relationship through his actions. An old(ish) song, I know, but I've always loved it and can relate to it now more than ever, and I just want to share my thoughts on it.Įssentially, I view the lyrics just as is: the girl (Sierra) is emotionally hurt by something the boy (Alex) did, but chooses to conceal it because she's afraid of conflict, thinking it would ruin the relationship.
