“You Were Right” sees Jacklin telling an ex-friend that she enjoys their favorite places, but recognizing her own agency in choosing to do what she wants. The chorus of you were right / I liked it / you were wrong / I was a good friend is a reclaiming of agency from someone who constantly wanted to...
[Verse 1]
Started listening to your favourite band
The night I stopped listening to you
You were always trying to force my hand
But now I'm listening because I want to
[Chorus]
You were right, I liked it
You were wrong, I was a good friend
[Verse 2]
Started eating at your favourite place
The night I stopped eating with you
You were always trying to force my taste
But now I'm eating there 'cause I want to
[Chorus]
You were right, I liked it
You were wrong, I was a good friend to you
[Bridge]
Twin hotel room, no bed to make
What can I do to change myself for your sake?
I don't want you here
You make me feel so small, I'm gonna disappear
[Verse 3]
Started feeling like myself again
The day I stopped saying your name
We can try and start it up again
But it's never gonna feel the same
[Chorus]
You were right, I liked it
You were wrong, I was a good friend to you
