Narcissist
Avery Anna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can′t help it if I'm happy or sad
Today I cried for no reason
Made me feel like a psychopath
I should hate you ′cause I love you
You should hate yourself for treating me like that
We both know you only love you
Did you know they have a name for that?
You say that I'm crazy
You say that you're sorry
Won′t happen again
You say I′m dramatic
I'm overreacting
And maybe I am
And I know you′ll get over me
But can you get over yourself?
Before you go and love somebody else
You should probably get some help
My parents don't like you
Why would they want to?
After they found me crying on the bathroom floor
I don′t even like me anymore
'Cause you say that I′m crazy
You say that you're sorry
Won't happen again
You say I′m dramatic
I′m overreacting
And maybe I am
And I know you'll get over me
But can you get over yourself?
Before you go and love somebody else
You should probably get some help
You lose your voice when you yell too much
Don′t say you love me until you mess up
Phone calls past twelve o'clock, wanting me back
Don′t you know that they got a name for that?
You say that I'm crazy
You say that you′re sorry
Won't happen again
You say I'm dramatic
I′m overreacting
And maybe I am
And I know you′ll get over me
But can you get over yourself?
Before you go and love somebody else
You should probably get some help
The song Narcissist by Avery Anna seems to be about a woman in a toxic relationship with a man who is a narcissist. The first verse shows that the singer is confused about her emotions, unable to understand whether she should feel happy or sad. The lyrics suggest that her partner's behavior is the cause of her emotional turmoil. The singer is aware of the narcissist's self-centered ways, but despite knowing that she should hate him for the way he treats her, she is still in love with him. The lyrics reveal that the narcissist only loves himself, and there's a name for such behavior.
In the chorus, the narcissist accuses the singer of being crazy and dramatizing things. He apologizes for his behavior, but the singer knows it won't change. She realizes that there is a pattern in their fights and that the narcissist is always the one at fault. The singer urges him to seek help before moving on to another person to love.
The last verse shows that the singer is aware of the red flags in their relationship. Her parents do not approve of her partner, and she finds herself crying on the bathroom floor. The narcissist tries to apologize, but the singer knows that his apologies are meaningless. The singer asks the narcissist to get help before he goes and loves somebody else.
