Run myself into the ground
Jessica Lea Mayfield Lyrics

In "Run myself into the Ground," Jessica Lea Mayfield sings about a new-found love that has taken over her life, causing her to lose self-control and become obsessed. The beginning of the song paints a picture of a moment when she made the decision to tell the truth even though she was asked not to. She questions where her self-control went and contemplates the consequences of her words. She refuses to change for anyone and would rather run herself into the ground than let go of this new love that she has discovered.

The second verse finds Mayfield reflecting on a time when she opened up to someone and shared things that maybe should have stayed locked away. She recognizes that she should have been more careful with what she shared, but again, she refuses to change for anyone. She continues to describe her obsession with her newfound love and how everyone's watching her, causing her to become paranoid and believe that she can read everyone's mind. In the end, she walks away, but only to continue running herself into the ground.

This song expresses the intense emotions that come with falling head over heels in love, especially when it's a new relationship. The lyrics showcase how someone can quickly become obsessed and lose sight of themselves in the process. Mayfield's haunting vocals combined with the simplistic melody make for a thought-provoking and emotional experience for the listener.
