Mature emotional themes, relationship regret, emotional unavailability
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics deal with mature emotional themes centered on an unreciprocated or emotionally unavailable relationship. The narrator discovers that a partner has sought emotional (and possibly physical) fulfillment from someone who looks like her, suggesting feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and emotional distance. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug references. However, the themes of emotional unavailability, a partner seeking a substitute, guilt over not meeting a partner's needs, and the complexity of longing and loss are emotionally sophisticated and could be confusing or distressing for younger listeners. These are nuanced adult relationship dynamics best understood by teenagers and older audiences.

Lyrics
Well, I went through my list of friends And found I had no one to tell Of this overwhelming clean feeling, strange serenity When I saw the girl looked just like me And it broke my heart The lengths you went to hold me To get to have me 'Cause, I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory Relive all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me I'm sorry it should've been me I'd be going 'bout my day until a hand Would come and lift me out And drop me in the middle of a labyrinth, where I'd be stuck a while When I saw the girl looked just like me I thought, "Must be lonely loving someone" Tryna to find their way out of a maze Oh, I know I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory Relive all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me I'm sorry, it should've been me I'm sorry, it should've been me
