Overrated
Brye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have no memory
Of falling in love
It's been wiped clean
Every kiss, smile, slow dance, hug

It's like it up 'n left
Right when he did
But he had no right
To take my memories with him

I've got friends who say
Love's like a warm kiss
Like butterflies in your heart
Instead of your stomach

Other's they say they never
Want to fall again
It hurts too bad when it's over
When it's not reciprocated

Love is overrated
Love is overrated
Too much hurt
Too much pain
To be wort all the time you wasted

Love is overrated
Makes me sick to my stomach
Constantly showed
In my face
I want love to be erased
(Now)

I'm sure it feels good (mhh)
To have someone to talk to
I'd rather be with my girlfriends (mhh)
And some boy who gives me trust issues

These boys, blow my mind (mhh)
How they mess it up every time
Someone always gets hurt (mhh)
And the timings never right

Love is overrated
Love is overrated
Too much hurt
Too much pain
To be wort all the time you wasted

Love is overrated
Makes me sick to my stomach
Constantly showed
In my face
I want love to be erased

I don't need your love
Get it out
Of my face
I put my needs above
Some stupid guy

I don't need your love
Get it out
Of my face
I put my needs above
Some stupid guy

Love is overrated
Love is overrated
Too much hurt
Too much pain
To be wort all the time you wasted

Love is overrated
Makes me sick to my stomach
Constantly showed
In my face
I want love to be erased

Overall Meaning

In "Overrated," Brye sings about the aftermath of a love that ended badly. She notes that she cannot recall what was once one of the most significant parts of her life — being in love. Brye feels as though a part of her has disappeared, and it all happened when her lover left her life. She believes it wasn't right for him to take away her memories, and as a result, the idea of love has become one-dimensional to her. Some claim that love is like the fluttering feeling of butterflies in their heart, but Brye argues that it's never worth the pain.


Brye is cynical about love, and her lyrics demonstrate that contrast. She sings that she prefers spending time with her girlfriends over being with a guy who will inevitably send her love life spiraling. She argues that timing is never right, and someone always gets their heart broken. She believes that love is constantly shoved in her face, and the idea of it makes her sick to her stomach. Brye concludes that she doesn't want any part of love, and she just wants to be free of it all.
