Looking For
Brenn! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are we drivin'?
'Cause baby, we're runnin' out of road
Where we goin'?
Do either of us even know?

What am I doin'?
I can't catch a break
I put myself through this
How much more am I gonna take?

Don't know what you're looking for
But I know what you're looking for ain't me
This story is full of holes
It burns like a broken memory

You know I hope, you know I pray
For all the change we couldn't make
Give me time to say goodbye before you leave

Don't know what you're looking for
But I know what you're looking for ain't me

I told you I loved you
And that's just how it's gonna be
I see myself in you
I thought you could find you in me

I hate that I've come this far just to be sent back home
But maybe you were right that'd be better off alone
And I put myself through this
Did you ever wanna do this?

Don't know what you're looking for
But I know what you're looking for ain't me
This story is full of holes
It burns like a broken memory

You know I hope, you know I pray
For all the change we couldn't make
Give me time to say goodbye before you leave

Don't know what you're looking for
But I know what you're looking for ain't me

Why are you changing?
Am I the reason?
Aren't you faithless?
Throw the keys in

Just keep driving
Don't look back
And I don't hate you
For what you didn't have

I'm not angry
And I haven't changed
It's always the same thing
I hope there's a day

I know what you're looking for
And I know what you're looking for is me
Our story was full of holes
It burned like a broken memory

You know I hope, you know I pray
For all the change we couldn't make
Give me time to say goodbye before you leave

Don't know what you're looking for
But I know what you're looking for ain't me





Don't know what you're looking for
But I know what you're looking for ain't me

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Brenn! reflects on a relationship that is reaching its breaking point. The first verse sets the tone by questioning the purpose of their actions and the uncertainty surrounding their future. The singer expresses frustration, feeling like they can't catch a break and wondering how much more they can endure.


The chorus repeats the sentiment that the other person doesn't know what they're looking for, but the singer is fully aware that they are not the answer. The relationship is likened to a story full of holes, symbolizing unresolved issues and painful memories. It is clear that the relationship is not meeting the other person's expectations.


The second verse reveals a confession of love and the silent hope that the other person would find themselves in the singer. This demonstrates a desire for mutual understanding and connection. However, the singer admits that they have gone through great lengths for the relationship but questions if the other person ever wanted the same.


The bridge expresses the singer's confusion and the feeling of being left behind. They ask why the other person is changing and if they are the reason for it. The singer acknowledges that they are not angry or resentful, emphasizing their willingness to let the other person go and not hold onto any negativity. They hope for a day when things may change and find resolution.


The final repetition of the chorus takes on a different meaning. It seems to represent a realization from the singer's perspective. They now understand what the other person is looking for, and it is not them. The story of their relationship is described as full of holes and burning like a broken memory, suggesting that it has become irreparable.


In conclusion, these lyrics explore the complexities of a failing relationship. It delves into the singer's self-reflection, their frustrations, and their eventual acceptance that they are not what the other person desires. It showcases the hope for change and closure but ultimately acknowledges the reality that they are not the one the other person is searching for.
