Halsey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should be living the dream
But I'm living with a security team
And that ain't gonna change, no
I got a paranoia in me
And you wouldn't believe
Everything that I've seen, no
Coming apart at the seams
And no one around me knows
Who I am, what I'm on
Who I've hurt and where they've gone
I know that I've done some wrong
But I'm trying to make it right
Did the one I love do me wrong?
Give me up right now

I know that I love you but I'm still learning
To love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)
I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)

I should be living the dream
But I go home and I got no self-esteem (nope)
You think I'm swimming in green, but
It's passed around my family tree
No man wants to really commit
Intimidated 'cause I get paid and shit
And I caught you reading my lips, but
No one around me knows

Who I am, what I'm on
Who I've hurt and where they've gone
I know that I've done some wrong
But I'm trying to make it right
The same mistakes on and on
To all my friends I'm sorry for
They know that I love you
But I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)
I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)

Oh, I try and I try
To be a man but sometimes
If I breathe it's alright
Some things don't change
I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)

Who I am, what I'm on
Who I've hurt and where they've gone
I know that I've done some wrong
But I'm trying to make it right
Did the one I love do me wrong?
Give me up right now

I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)
I'm still learning to love myself (to love my, to love my, to love my)
And I try and I try
To be a man but sometimes
If I breathe it's alright
Some things don't change




I'm still learning to love myself (to love myself, I'm tryin' to love myself)
I'm still learning to love myself

I'm still learning to love myself
Despite everything, I'm still working on loving and valuing myself

Watch some movies, cartoons n shows in English.

if you wanna learn any language..i think you should just watch some kind of shows n movies Or just watch "Cartoons" in the language

(for example) if smone wants to learn korean..they watch K-Dramas..n it really helps (i hv friends who've learned korean by the dramas they watched)
first watch with subtitles and then watch again without subtitles..

The "leader of legends BTS-->RM" did the same..he watched the intire..
F.R.I.E.N.D.S series n learned English..i did the same but with HarryPotter, sm shows n cartoons.

try it..n Yeah GudLuck!

It's funny how as kids, we'd think stuff like "grown ups are better than us cuz they've lived longer, which obviously means they would've made more out of opportunities in life than we have, cuz we haven't lived that long yet". Cuz as a kid, your mind hasn't yet been exposed to the toxic reality.
The child's mind which only knows all the diverse opportunities/ways of achieving success + happiness, all nice things that life has to offer us. I mean for real, the worst fears kindergarteners have would be, losing teeth, monsters under bed, scary silhouettes in dark, etc. Not lack of self acceptance, failing in life, losing interest in everything, financial struggles, etc.
Not realizing the harsh sides of reality, it leads to not having the need to fight the negative aspects of life. Children are the personifications of "ignorance is bliss".
I don't know specifically how or when, but I went from "I'm going to be a scientist, whose hobby is fashion designing, who also rescues abandoned animals and helps everyone by being their life coach" to "I wish I could just love myself".
But hey, at least we aren't alone in this ride ["w"]


If you've read this far, then here is a fun quote whose origins I've forgotten:
"You've believed in Santa Claus, Tooth fairy, Unicorns and Angels for several years of your childhood. Hence if you try hard enough, you can believe in yourself for one whole minute."
