Mariah the Scientist Lyrics

Now I must spend all my time
Thinkin' of all your lies and cover ups
You're switchin' up on everyone who loves you (baby, you're the reason)

Baby, you're the reason
You always think the only one who needs any attention is you
Don't be so conceited
Hope you know honesty was the only thing that could keep me from leavin'
Baby, you're the reason
You always think the only one who needs any attention is you
Don't be so conceited
Hope you know honesty was the only thing that could keep me from leavin'

Now I'm left to you wonder, how I let this go under?
How I could watch it rain for so long and ain't hear no thunder?
And we led all our Hollywood dreams end in a blunder
How I may never see you again, I hate when the summer ends
But it always would, and you'll always be disappointed
'Cause you're insecure, chasin' things you thought you wanted
Like you thought you could
Just get further with frontin'
And if Hollywood is home now it's just a house that is haunted

While I spend all my time
Thinkin' of all your lies and cover ups
You're switchin' up on everyone who loves you (baby, you're the reason)
But that doesn't stop my show
And I think you should know that

Baby, you're the reason
You always think the only one who needs any attention is you
Don't be so conceited
Hope you know honesty was the only thing that could keep me from leavin'
Baby, you're the reason
You always think the only one who needs any attention is you

Don't be so conceited
Hope you know honesty was the only thing that could keep me from leavin'

In "Spread Thin," Mariah the Scientist sings about a relationship that has dissolved due to a lack of trust and honesty. The line "And now I cannot trust you" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as she reflects on the lies and cover-ups that led to their downfall. She is forced to let the other person go because their constant need for attention and insecurity caused them to switch up on those who loved them. Despite this, Mariah acknowledges that the show must go on, and even though she spends all her time thinking about the other's faults, she knows that honesty was the only thing that could have kept her from leaving.

The chorus repeats the line "Baby, you're the reason" to drive home the point that the other person's selfishness and conceitedness were the root of the problem. Mariah notes that they always thought they were the only one who needed attention, and their insecurities caused them to chase after things they thought they wanted, leading to disappointment. The song ends with Mariah wondering how she let things fall apart and expressing regret at the possibility of never seeing the other person again.

Overall, "Spread Thin" is a powerful reflection on the importance of trust and honesty in relationships, and how a lack of these qualities can cause them to crumble.

And now I cannot trust you
I have lost faith in you and don't know if I can believe anything you say or do

And I'm forced to let you go
Due to your actions, I have no other option but to cut you out of my life

That's what spreadin' thin on us do (baby, you're the reason)
Our relationship has become strained and distant because of the way you have acted and treated me

Hate to see you lose control
Despite my feelings for you, it's difficult to witness you struggle and spiral out of control

Now I must spend all my time
I am consumed with thoughts of you and the lies you have told me, it's a constant distraction

Thinkin' of all your lies and cover ups
I am painfully aware of the dishonesty in our relationship and can't stop thinking about it

You're switchin' up on everyone who loves you (baby, you're the reason)
Your unpredictable behavior and constant changes are causing those who care about you to feel hurt and confused

But that doesn't stop the show
Even though this relationship has caused me pain, I won't let it ruin my life or hold me back

And I think you should know that
I want you to understand the impact of your behavior on our relationship and on me emotionally

Baby, you're the reason
You are the driving force behind the issues in our relationship, whether you realize it or not

You always think the only one who needs any attention is you
You have a tendency to put yourself first and don't consider the needs or feelings of those around you

Don't be so conceited
You need to learn to be more humble and selfless in your relationships, as your ego is causing damage

Hope you know honesty was the only thing that could keep me from leavin'
The only reason I stayed in this relationship was because of your honesty, but now that trust is broken

Now I'm left to wonder, how I let this go under?
I am questioning how I let our relationship fall apart despite my efforts to maintain it

How I could watch it rain for so long and ain't hear no thunder?
I was blind to the problems in our relationship and ignored the signs of trouble that were present

And we led all our Hollywood dreams end in a blunder
Our shared aspirations and goals for our relationship were ruined and we failed to achieve them

How I may never see you again, I hate when the summer ends
I am coming to terms with the possibility that our relationship may never be repaired and that hurts me deeply

But it always would, and you'll always be disappointed
Our relationship was destined to fail because of your constant dissatisfaction and disappointment with everything

'Cause you're insecure, chasin' things you thought you wanted
Your insecurities have led you to pursue things that you thought would make you happy, but have only caused chaos

Like you thought you could, just get further with frontin'
You believed that pretending and putting on a facade would take you farther in life and your relationships than being genuine

And if Hollywood is home now it's just a house that is haunted
Even though you have achieved some success in your endeavors, it is hollow and unfulfilling because of the damage to our relationship
