Watch Your Mouth

The song starts with a tone of rhetorical defiance, as if the narrator is trying to convince himself that he is unconcerned with his ex-partner's new life. However, the admission 'Well I do' reveals the truth of his underlying feelings, indicating that despite his attempts to seem indifferent, he is actually deeply affected. The juxtaposition of his insincerity with a confession of his true emotions sets the stage for an emotional journey characterized by pain, denial, and unresolved affection.

In the second verse, the image of a drink slipping across a table and crashing to the ground serves as a metaphor for instability and the potential for emotional outbursts. The warning 'Keep your distance she's unstable / Watch your tone and watch your mouth' implies a delicate situation and a relationship where communication has broken down, hinting at the narrator's cautious approach in dealing with his ex-partner's volatility and his own need to tread carefully.

The mention of records left at the mother's place and the face-slapping effect of listening to them indicates a desire to escape reminders of the past, while keeping up appearances on social media suggests that the ex-partner is possibly struggling with her own identity and public image. This contrast between public facade and private torment presents a complex emotional landscape of superficial changes masking deeper issues.

Finally, the assertion of possession in the lines 'Cause you're not alone, no / You're mine' betrays the narrator's lingering attachment and possessiveness, even as he declares the relationship a waste of time. His plea to 'Take my love / And throw it all out' sends mixed messages, oscillating between rejection and a futile wish to remain connected. The song concludes with an indistinct outro, mirroring the uncertainty and unresolved feelings that persist beyond the end of a relationship.
