Charlie Puth – We Don't Talk Anymore Lyrics 6 years ago
This is my explanation of what the song means.

A boy and a girl we’re in love. They faded into each other. They obsessed over one another, and lost each other in themselves.
They damaged each other without truly knowing the pain they caused to the one they loved the most.

The girl realizes this first. They leave each other and she quickly moves on to someone knew.(perhaps to forget the pain he caused?)

The boy alone with his pain begins to realize why she left, why they don’t talk anymore like they used to. He feels he can’t love anyone else, and wonders what was the point in loving her?

He knows she found someone knew and a part of himself wishes that someone was him. He wonders why he can’t move on from her, like it seemed she did so easily. He can’t help, but think of her. What she’s wearing. Who she’s with and if he’s treating her right. in his mind the way he treated her was right. He knows he overdosed into their love. He says that her love was a game and he can’t forget her, but he doesn’t truly understand what these words mean yet. He truly misses her and wants her back.

The girl now alone with her pain, forgets the truth... she begins to wonder why he left, she can’t help, but think of him being with a new girl and her loving him like she did. she believes, like the boy, that the way she loved him was right. She knows he’s gone, and knows they left each other. She wonders if it was in good reason, or if they made a mistake.

She still thinks of him. She imagines what it would be like to see him again, and if he’d take her back or not. Her mind switches back to thinking of the girl he’s with. she can’t help, but think of him looking into her eyes, like he used to do to her. Her holding onto him like she used to do for him before she felt she overdosed into their love. she says that his love was just a game and she can’t forget him, but, like the boy, she doesn’t truly understand what these words mean yet. She truly misses him and wants him back too.

Both are in pain. Thinking of each other and why they don’t talk anymore again. They miss each other, but something feels off. They are both with someone knew, and can’t help it they think of each other when they are with this person. They both are slowly waking up to the truth. They begin to find themselves again. They start to see how much control they had on each other, this new person they are with shows them that, and they also see they can be loved by someone new. They both look back again to when they were thinking of each other, and those words they said. “Should’ve know you’re love was just a game and I can’t get you out of my brain.” They see the truth that they had known, but rejected for so long become clear as day. They accept it.


Now they both are understanding the real reason they don’t talk anymore. They caused each other so much heartbreak and pain without even noticing what they were doing to each other and themselves. They realize what it was really all for. They take the lessons they’ve learned and carry them forward with their lives. When they look back they still miss each other and a part of them will always love each other from a distance, but they finally understand why they don’t talk anymore, like they used to do.
