Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take it back home (Cause I hate her)
I should'a known better not to wait around
I'm getting rid of my phone (So I make it clear
Never did never did I ever love anyone other then you
But secretly I always want to see you cry so I push you until you do
Check it out
I should'a never came I should'a never should'a never came to you
You insisted for me to
Cause I lied and didn't mean to, I take it back,
If I thought It'd make it work, but it didn't but it meant to
I, I, I give up...
[Chorus]
I never did what you said I did
When I was gone for so long
I never sided with what you did was either right or wrong
It's wrong
You dreamt of him
If you trust me, just trust me baby find the words and find these feelings
Roll your eyes when you look at me, hard to talk when you look at the ceiling
Your still pushed up baby with everything you been through lately
I'll be there when close your eyes hold you tight say goodnight
[Chorus]
I, I needed, all I, I needed was someone to talk to
And you, you needed you you needed me to hold you
I, I needed, all I, I needed was someone to talk to
And you, you needed you you needed me to hold you
[Chorus]
The song My Worst Nightmare by Forever the Sickest Kids is about a toxic relationship that the singer is trying to get out of. The starting lines, "I should'a known better not to wait around. Take it back home (Cause I hate her)" indicate that the singer is regretting waiting for this person who they dislike to make their way back to the singer. The singer doesn't want to be a part of this relationship anymore and wants to cut all ties with the person, even going so far as to get rid of their phone.
The next set of lines, "Never did never did I ever love anyone other than you. But secretly I always want to see you cry so I push you until you do" reveals the toxic nature of the relationship. The singer confesses that they never loved anyone else apart from the person they are with, but also admits that they have been pushing them to tears secretly.
In the chorus, the singer addresses the accusation made by the person they are with, where the person accuses them of doing something wrong while they were away. The singer denies that they did anything wrong and the person was just dreaming.
The song tells a story of an unhealthy relationship that needs to end for the well-being of both parties involved. The singer realizes that they need someone to talk to and that the person they are with needs someone to hold them. However, this relationship, as it stands, is not healthy for either of them.
