Psychopath
Emily Weisband Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two years of my life standing ′cross the room
My mind running wild, I didn't know what to do
I′m with somebody now, and I swear he's the truth (Uh)
So I felt kinda guilty being moved by you, oh-oh

But I tell myself, "There's no shame in emotion"
Go back to you? No way, I′d never do it
I′m way past being broken

But it don't mean I′m not human

So did I get feelings seeing you with her?
Did my heart start beating a little faster?
Did it take me back?
Well, yeah, 'cause I′m not a psychopath
I'm happy to know you′re with somebody
Who's making you happy
But did I leave the party a little bit sad?
Well, yeah, 'cause I′m not a psychopath

I told my new love that you got engaged
He knew something was wrong, it was written on my face (Oh-oh)
He said it happened to him once and he felt the same (Oh-oh)
Baby, it would be weird if you were numb to pain, oh

So I tell myself, "There′s no shame in emotion"
Go back to you? No way, I'd never do it
I′m way past being broken
But it don't mean I′m not human

So did I get feelings seeing you with her?
Did my heart start beating a little faster?
Did it take me back?
Well, yeah, 'cause I′m not a psychopath
I'm happy to know you're with somebody
Who′s making you happy
But did I leave the party a little bit sad?
Well, yeah, ′cause I'm not a psychopath

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, ′cause I'm not a psychopath

The world will call you crazy if you see your ex and lose it
But I call it being human

So did I get feelings seeing you with her?
Did my heart start beating a little faster?
Did it take me back?
Well, yeah, ′cause I'm not a psychopath
I′m happy to know you're with somebody
Who's making you happy

But did I leave the party a little bit sad?
Well, yeah, ′cause I′m not a psychopath

Overall Meaning

In Emily Weisband's song Psychopath, the singer explores their emotions upon running into an ex-lover. The song opens by describing how the singer spent two years of their life with this person and how their mind races when they see them across the room. Despite being in a new relationship, the singer still feels guilty for being moved by their ex. However, they reassure themselves that there is "no shame in emotion." The chorus repeats the question of whether or not the singer still has feelings for their ex but asserts that they are not a psychopath for doing so.

The second verse delves into how the singer reacts to the news of their ex's engagement. They struggle to hide their emotions from their current partner, who empathizes with the singer's feelings. As the song comes to a close, the singer again questions their emotions but ultimately lands on the conclusion that feeling sad upon seeing an ex with someone else is just part of being human.

Line by Line Meaning

Two years of my life standing ′cross the room
For two years, I watched you from afar

My mind running wild, I didn't know what to do
I was filled with uncertainty and my thoughts were racing

I'm with somebody now, and I swear he's the truth (Uh)
I'm in a new relationship and I really believe in it

So I felt kinda guilty being moved by you, oh-oh
But I feel guilty for still being affected by you

But I tell myself, "There's no shame in emotion"
I remind myself that it's okay to feel emotions

Go back to you? No way, I'd never do it
I would never go back to you

I'm way past being broken
I have moved on from being heartbroken

But it don't mean I'm not human

Well, yeah, ′cause I'm not a psychopath
Yes, because I'm not emotionless

I told my new love that you got engaged

He knew something was wrong, it was written on my face (Oh-oh)
He could tell that something was bothering me from my expression

He said it happened to him once and he felt the same (Oh-oh)
He shared a similar experience with me

Baby, it would be weird if you were numb to pain, oh
It would be odd if I didn't feel any pain from seeing you move on

The world will call you crazy if you see your ex and lose it
Society might judge you for having a reaction to your ex

But I call it being human
But I recognize it as a normal human response
