My Mind
Frankie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, no, I don't know
Why do I keep overthinking?
Tell me why am I so afraid to let you go?
Nah, nah, but if I left
You'll just cry in your bed
But I won't let the guilt get in my head, no more
I did what I did, for us
So, why can't you at least try to understand my pain?
I guess I'm afraid to fall in love again
But then again, I guess we weren't built for love
I can only be lovesick in my head
If I said my thoughts out loud, I'd be dead
You'd either reject me
You wouldn't accept me
And I don't get what you would gain from that, babe
But my mind is set on another guy, try another day
You are going around telling all your friends that I broke your heart
It ain't the end of the world, you aren't torn apart
You said that you can't live without me
Yet, we all can clearly see that you're still breathing, yeah
I did what I did, for us
So, why can't you at least try to understand my pain?
I guess I'm afraid to fall in love again
But then again, I guess we weren't built for love
I can only be lovesick in my head
If I said my thoughts out loud, I'd be dead
You'd either reject me
You wouldn't accept me
And I don't get what you would gain from that, babe
But my mind is set on another guy, try another day
I guess you don't get what I'm trying to say
Me and you, we were both scared to be lonely




So get yourself back together and see the light in your darkest days
The one for you is definitely not me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Frankie's song 'My Mind' speak of the confusion and conflict one experiences in a relationship. The singer is torn between wanting to leave and being afraid of hurting their partner, while also not being completely invested in the relationship. They confess to being lovesick in their head and not being able to express themselves out loud, fearing rejection or not being understood. They acknowledge that the relationship was not built for love, suggesting that they were not meant to be together.


The singer's internal conflict highlights the complexity of relationships and the emotional turmoil that comes with them. They want to do what is best for themselves and their partner, but are scared of the consequences. This fear prevents them from being fully honest with their partner and themselves, keeping them trapped in a relationship that is not fulfilling. The song's message is one of self-reflection and realizing when to let go of something that is not working.

Lyrics
Come running back to you
And lay it all on the line
'Cause ain't nothing left to lose
Talking bout a love of a lifetime
And we pride ourselves enough
We can believe our life
Baby love is on the run
Girl don't you know
That you can't hide
We can find our way babe
I need you beside me
Hear me when I say girl
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
And I mean it girl
I ain't to proud to beg
When the feeling starts to hurt
I gotta get you out my head
And we try to see the light
Of a brand new day babe
Love will always win the fight
Come and rescue me tonight
We can find our way babe
I need you beside me
Hear me when I say girl
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind

I feel like it takes a lotta balls for a man to put his emotions out here like this on a song and we women salute him. It’s so amazing and refreshing to hear :)
