While Feels Like tumbled headlong into the precarious nature of Bognanno's young adult life, Losing is a document of the complexity of growth: navigating breakups with sensitivity, learning not to run away from your troubles but to face them no matter how messy they may be. The debut single, "Feel The Same' is the album opener. Like an electric-shock Bognanno is back in your face tackling the angst of a young person feeling their way through the world. The song describes the prison of a manic mind-set, being trapped in your own head. On "Seeing It" she addresses the issue of personal safety and navigating the world as a woman. On "Running" she focuses on personal relationships and the avoidance of facing the demise of a personal relationship.
Losing is an internal, carefully focused record, a universalized diary and an exorcism-not of any one specific demon, but the host of them that characterize contemporary anxieties. Bully are growing up, sure, but their fire is in no way diminishing.

Too Tough
Bully Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had to hear it from my family, hear it from the answering machine
Could you lie anymore?
I am only half sorry for bringing you down before
It's like you never even wanted it
You're just too tough to talk it out and talk about it
Only God knows just how far you will go
You're tryna wear me down
Wear me down
Callin' me so you can come clean
After it's too late, why don't you just let me be?
Stop tryin' to blame
Everyone else, so get up now, soak in the stream
I remember you so much
I'm glad we straightened it out
And now you're right on track
That's the shit that brings me down
It's like you never even wanted it
You're just too tough to talk it out and talk about it
Only God knows just how far you will go
To be someplace we'll never know
You're tryna wear me down
Wear me down
Wear me down
This is, it's been so unfair
You do, do whatever you care
I say to your sensitivity
It's wasted, wasted
The lyrics of Bully's song Too Tough depict the emotional struggle of dealing with a friend or loved one who is difficult to communicate with. The opening lines convey a sense of betrayal, with the singer having to learn of some unpleasant truth from their family rather than from the person themselves. The next couple of lines give voice to the frustration of dealing with someone who lies compulsively. The singer is only "half sorry" for their own role in the situation, implying that the other person bears most of the blame.
The rest of the song builds on this theme, with the singer criticizing the other person for being "too tough to talk it out and talk about it." They accuse the other person of not really wanting to make things right or work through their issues. Instead, they choose to "wear [the singer] down" with their stubbornness and unwillingness to take responsibility for their actions. The final lines underscore the difficulty of dealing with such a person, with the singer lamenting that their "sensitivity" is wasted on someone who doesn't appreciate it.
Overall, Too Tough is a powerful anthem for anyone who has struggled to communicate with someone close to them. It speaks to the frustration of dealing with someone who is unwilling or unable to be honest and vulnerable, and the toll that this can take on one's mental health.

Call me but you can't come clean
You contacted me but couldn't be honest about the situation
I had to hear it from my family, hear it from the answering machine
I found out about it from other sources because you didn't have the courage to tell me directly
Could you lie anymore?
You've already lied and I can't trust anything you say

I'm not entirely sorry for the consequences you faced because of your own actions
It's like you never even wanted it
You didn't seem to truly desire the outcome
You're just too tough to talk it out and talk about it
You avoid communication and confrontation by acting tough
Only God knows just how far you will go
Your behavior is unpredictable and extreme
To be someplace we'll never know
You're trying to achieve something that's impossible to attain
You're tryna wear me down
You're making a consistent effort to exhaust me physically or mentally
Callin' me so you can come clean
You're reaching out to me to confess your wrongdoing
After it's too late, why don't you just let me be?
Your confession has come too late and I don't want to hear from you anymore
Stop tryin' to blame
You're attempting to shift responsibility onto others
Everyone else, so get up now, soak in the stream
Stop blaming others and face the consequences of your own decisions
I remember you so much
I recall your past behavior vividly
I'm glad we straightened it out
I'm happy that we've resolved our issues
And now you're right on track
You've corrected your behavior and are now doing well
That's the shit that brings me down
I'm bothered by the fact that you had to learn the hard way to do the right thing
This is, it's been so unfair
The situation has been unjust
You do, do whatever you care
You act with disregard for others' feelings or opinions
I say to your sensitivity
Your emotional awareness is lacking
It's wasted, wasted
You're not utilizing your sensitivity in a positive way
