Joan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like I'm losing you
Do you even notice? Yeah
How perfect I am for you
You keep running away when I need you most
Running away when I get too close
My heart is full but yours is running out
Yeah, I'm afraid you've lost your head
Baby, you know that I loved you first
But now, you're in love with somebody else
You're in love with somebody else
Would you be honest?
Tell me what you see in him
Does he really love you? Yeah
Like you know that I can, yeah
You keep running away when I need you most
Running away when I get too close
My heart is full but yours is running out
I think I'm afraid of what comes next
Yeah, I'm afraid you've lost your head
Baby, you know that I loved you first
But now, you're in love with somebody else
You're in love with somebody else
You keep running away
(You're in love with somebody else)
(You're in love with somebody else)
My heart is full but yours is running out
I think I'm afraid, ooh
(You're in love with somebody else)
Baby, you know that I loved you first
But now
You're in love with somebody else
You're in love with somebody else
You're in love with somebody else
You're in love with some, you're in love with some
You're in love with somebody else
You're in love with somebody else
You're in love with somebody else
You're in love with some, you're in love with some

Despite trying to keep the relationship afloat, his love interest seems to keep running away when he needs them the most, leaving Joan to wonder if he is no longer good enough for them.
Moreover, Joan admits being afraid of what comes next, reflecting on the uncertainty of the future and what it holds for their relationship. He also wonders if his love interest's new partner will love them as he does, a question that only they can answer. Despite all that's happened, Joan still acknowledges his feelings, admitting that he loved them first, but now, they are in love with somebody else.
In the end, the song expresses the struggles that come with unrequited love and moving on from lost relationships. It resonates with people who have been in a similar predicament, where they have loved with their all, only to end up heartbroken.
