Music has been, is now, and will forever be a form of art. Art has been, is now, will forever be open to the interpretation of the viewer/listener. I am interpreting the song and giving my own opinion as to what I believe is meant. Based on the chord changes and pure lyricism of this song, I have concluded that...

Saved - Khalid
1, 2, 3, 4
He is counting himself in, don't be stupid.
The hard part always seems to last forever
Sometimes I forget that we aren't together
Deep down in my heart, I hope you're doing alright
But from time to time I often think of why you aren't mine
It may seem that the bad times last longer than the good, but it is because our brains tend to focus on the negatives more than the positives. In my case, I take this as... "We are still friends, so it's like you never left." I just want the best for you. The thoughts keep playing in the back of my mind; I can't figure out where we went wrong.
But I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do
I will keep you in my mind because I miss you and I want you to call. I want you to say you miss me too. I still have you in my mind and I want the courage to take the plunge and contact you. There is nobody else like me.
Now, I can't say I'll be alright without you
And I can't say that I haven't tried to
But, all your stuff is gone
I erased all the pictures from my phone
Of me and you
Here's what I'll do
He seems to be breaking down the feeling of being alone again. He realizes that holding onto the past doesn't help. The hard moment aren't keeping him from carrying on.
I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do
I am keeping your number incase you need: a friend, someone to talk to, or if you decide to fall for me. There is a sense of comfort from having the number saved.
I hope you think of all the times we shared
I hope you'll finally realize I was the only one who cared
It's crazy how this love thing seems unfair
You won't find a love like mine anywhere
I hope you realize you were in the wrong. I never did wrong. I only wanted good for you. You don't know what you're missing out on, because is am the bomb.com and you will never have someone like me again. Frankly, you don't deserve it.
But I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do
I will keep you in my mind because I miss you and I want you to call. I want you to say you miss me too. I still have you in my mind and I want the courage to take the plunge and contact you. There is nobody else like me. I keep you grounded.
But I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day you'll get the sense to call me
I'm hoping that you'll say
You're missing me the way I'm missing you
So I'll keep your number saved
Cause I hope one day I'll get the pride to call you
To tell you that I'm finally over you
I'm finally over you
