## Theme

The song is about Ellise's relationship with someone who is slowly falling out of love with her. She encourages the other person to talk with her "over breakfast" because she already knows they are trying to slowly ghost her.

> *Over Breakfast is kind of I guess I would say my saddest song, my most raw and honest song, and I usually like to kinda hide the meanings of my songs behind sort-of metaphorical things, but with Over Breakfast, it really just is about- It was a personal story about me, and I was in a relationship with this guy, and I kind of knew things were about to come to an end, I knew he was about to end it with me, and I could sense that, but I wanted to cling onto it for as long as I could, so it's like "Tell me over breakfast", "just save it for breakfast", like "give me a few more hours or one more day before this thing comes to an end"

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Everything is wrong

Tell me what you're thinking

Almost like I blinked and now you're gone

What's inside your head?

Do I wanna know?

It burns under my skin the things you said

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Don't feel so good

I watch you change

Misunderstood the situation while you fade away

**[Chorus]**

Tell me over breakfast

I already know that you want to

Tell me it's a dead-end

You already got your flight booked

Tell me over breakfast

'Cause it's clear you don't care 'bout me how you used to

Just give me a second

Just save it for breakfast

**[Verse 2]**

Gеt out of my head

Have to be up early

Starin' at the ceiling from my bed

Wish it wasn't real

Wonder if you miss me

Maybe if you kissed me I could tell

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Can't comprehend

How fast this changed

You're different

I don't even recognize your bitter face

**[Chorus]**

Tell me over breakfast

I already know that you want to

Tell me it's a dead-end

You already got your flight booked

Tell me over breakfast

'Cause it's clear you don't care 'bout me how you used to

Just give me a second

Just save it for breakfast

**[Outro]**

Just give me a second

Just save it for breakfast
