Unlearn
Benny Blanco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But every time you turn your phone around
I just kind of lose my, lose my shit
Thinkin' it's another me, hangin' on the other line
I'm fine, I keep bringin' all my problems to a pillow fight
And I'm just tryin' to get to you
But it's not your fault
No, it's not your fault
No, no
'Cause if I'm gonna learn how to love you
I need to unlearn how to love too
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God, I'm tryin'
If I'm gonna learn how to choose you
I need to unlearn what I'm used to
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God, I'm tryin'
Excuse my mouth
But every time you run a little late, hanging with your friends
I freak the fuck out
Then you come home and your kiss tastes like mine
I'm fine, I keep bringin' all my problems to a pillow fight
And I'm just tryin' to get to you
But it's not your fault
No, it's not your fault
No, it's not your fault
No, no
'Cause if I'm gonna learn how to love you
I need to unlearn how to love too
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God, I'm tryin'
If I'm gonna learn how to choose you
I need to unlearn what I'm used to
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God, I'm tryin'
In the song "Unlearn" by Benny Blanco and Gracie Abrams, the lyrics focus on the challenge of letting go of past relationships and learning to love and commit to someone new. The song candidly explores the struggles of unlearning previous habits and behaviors that may have caused problems in past relationships. The opening line, "Excuse my French," sets a casual and honest tone for the song, as the singer acknowledges their own faults and imperfections.
The chorus emphasizes the need for unlearning in order to move forward in a new relationship: "If I'm gonna learn how to love you, I need to unlearn how to love too / Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right." Here, the singer acknowledges that their past habits and patterns may not be beneficial in a new relationship and they need to actively work on unlearning them to make progress towards a healthy, long-lasting relationship.
Throughout the song, the repeated refrain "I'm fine" reveals the singer's reluctance to address their own insecurities and fears, and the tendency to brush them off as insignificant. But in the end, the acknowledgement of the need to unlearn and work towards growth and change demonstrates a willingness to confront those issues and work towards a healthier relationship dynamic.

Excuse my French
I apologize for the profanity I may use
But every time you turn your phone around
Whenever you turn your phone, I feel agitated
I just kind of lose my, lose my shit
I get upset and angry
Thinkin' it's another me, hangin' on the other line
I imagine you are talking to someone else and not me
I'm fine
I am okay
I keep bringin' all my problems to a pillow fight
I bring up all my issues during a playful argument
And I'm just tryin' to get to you
I am trying to connect with you emotionally
But it's not your fault
I don't blame you
No, it's not your fault
It's not your responsibility
No, no
Absolutely not
'Cause if I'm gonna learn how to love you
If I want to love you better

I need to let go of my past behaviors and habits
Excuse my mouth
I apologize for what I am about to say
But every time you run a little late
Whenever you are delayed, even a little
Hanging with your friends, I freak the fuck out
I panic and become extremely anxious
Then you come home and your kiss tastes like wine
When you come back, I smell the alcohol on your breath
I'm fine
I am okay
I keep bringing all my problems to a pillow fight
I keep bringing up my issues during a playful argument
And I'm just tryin' to get to you
I am attempting to emotionally connect with you
