Dead
Leif Bent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many times
Still on my mind
What's up
Text unreplied
So many lies
Gone
What we once had
What
Have I done wrong
Questions in my head
You got me tripping, tripping, tripping over feelings
While I'm, while I'm looking at the ceiling
Keep on stepping, stepping, stepping on my heart
But I don't care
You can't kill me if I'm dead
Stop wasting all your time
Can't be messing with my head
I'm 'ready dead inside
If you think I'm crying cause of you
A broken heart can't break in two
Can't kill me if I'm dead
No heartbreak just goodbye
Oh I don't care
What I've done wrong
Now that you're gone
Not scared
Turn of my phone
Won't feel alone
Not fair
When you lie like this
Like I don't exist
But I don't care I shut you out
So shut your mouth
You got me tripping, tripping, tripping over feelings
While I'm, while I'm looking at the ceiling
Keep on stepping, stepping, stepping on my heart
But I don't care
You can't kill me if I'm dead
Stop wasting all your time
Can't be messing with my head
I'm 'ready dead inside
If you think I'm crying cause of you
A broken heart can't break in two
Can't kill me if I'm dead
No heartbreak just goodbye
First time I thought you can't be serious
Was wondering why
Cause it was always us against the world but not tonight
Couldn't focus on today lost in the previous
Got sick of waiting for tomorrow with you to pass the time
You're just ripping and ripping, ripping my heart out it's a cure
I was insecure, you built these walls I've never had before
Killed my emotional obsession, yeah maybe it's a blessing
I don't even wanna fight no more
You got me tripping, tripping, tripping over feelings
While I'm, while I'm looking at the ceiling
Keep on stepping, stepping, stepping on my heart
But I don't care
You can't kill me if I'm dead
Stop wasting all your time
Can't be messing with my head
I'm 'ready dead inside
If you think I'm crying cause of you
A broken heart can't break in two
Can't kill me if I'm dead
No heartbreak just goodbye
The song starts with the singer reflecting on a failed relationship that was ended by their partner's actions. Despite being hurt by the repeated breakups, they still can't let go of their feelings for their ex. They question what went wrong and why they were treated the way they were. The singer then goes on to explain how they no longer care about their ex and have shut them out of their life. They mention that they are already "dead inside" and that their broken heart cannot break anymore. The chorus of the song emphasizes this, stating that the ex cannot kill them because they are already dead.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how they were once convinced that they and their ex were meant to be together. However, they now realize that this was not the case. They talk about how they were consumed by their emotions and insecurity in the relationship, leading to walls being built up around them. The singer then expresses that they have given up fighting and that they feel like it's a blessing that the relationship is over.
The overall message of the song is that the singer has moved on from the toxic relationship that was weighing them down. Despite being hurt by their ex, they have found a new sense of freedom and power in letting go.

We were always a team, but not anymore
Couldn't focus on today lost in the previous
I can't focus on the present, I'm stuck in the past
Got sick of waiting for tomorrow with you to pass the time
I'm tired of waiting for the future to make me happy
You're just ripping and ripping, ripping my heart out it's a cure
You keep hurting me until I'm numb
I was insecure, you built these walls I've never had before
I became insecure because of you, and now I'm guarded
Killed my emotional obsession, yeah maybe it's a blessing
You killed my emotional attachment to you, and maybe that's a good thing
I don't even wanna fight no more
I don't want to argue or try to make things work
No heartbreak just goodbye
It's not a sad breakup, it's just goodbye
