nothing inside
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

I keep doing that thing where I'm thinking again
I'm overthinking things again, which is a habit I can't seem to shake.

I got skeletons in my closet (closet)
I have secrets and hidden parts of my life that I keep to myself.

I got nightmares sleeping again
I'm haunted by past traumas and negative experiences, causing me to have nightmares.

I gave you my heart you lost it (lost it)
I trusted someone with my heart and they betrayed that trust, causing me to feel hurt and lost.

She's a girl from a small town
I'm with a girl who comes from a small, rural area.

But we're in the big city and she's in my passenger seat right now
Despite coming from different worlds, we are together in this moment in a big city.

'Cause we live in a small world
Despite the vast city and our different backgrounds, we are connected in unexpected ways because the world can sometimes feel small.

I told her, 'It's all yours
I am giving her control over the situation and letting her make decisions for us.

But I need to know if you're down'
I am asking for her consent and willingness to go along with what we are doing.

I can't help it (I can't help it)
I feel like I am unable to control my impulses and behaviors no matter how hard I try.

I did this all for you
All of the choices and actions I have made were in some way motivated by my feelings for you.

Look what I turned into
Look at what I have become, and how my actions have affected me as a person.

She looked dead into my eyes and she saw nothing inside
Despite our connection, she is seeing that I am still struggling with inner turmoil and emptiness that I cannot express.

Too much and now I'm faded
I have consumed too much alcohol or drugs and am feeling the effects of being intoxicated.

Keep tearing my heart now it's open again
I keep getting hurt and my heart is becoming more vulnerable and exposed as a result.

A few drunk texts, now you're naked
Our communication has gotten intimate and risky while under the influence of alcohol.

(I feel selfish) I feel selfish (selfish)
I am feeling guilty for behaving in a way that is only benefiting me and not considering others.

It's been a long time since I was young
I am reflecting on my past and how much time has passed since I was a child or teenager.

And she was the first face I was looking to call mine
She was the first person I wanted to claim as my own and build a relationship with.

She said it's alright, had a couple of drinks
She is reassuring me that everything is okay, despite the influence of alcohol on our interactions.

And I got issues we can fight about all night
I am acknowledging that I have problems that we could argue about for hours on end.

I'm running low on serotonin in these empty moments
I am experiencing a chemical imbalance in my brain, causing me to feel emotionally drained and empty.

I'm having trouble operating without my main component
I am struggling to function normally without a key part of my life or usual source of support.
