It's Not Your Fault
Maggie Lindemann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to the bed and get me out of my brain
So sick of feelin' this way
Should I go or should I stay?
Don't know what I can say
Let me sleep it off, we can try another day
Don't wanna make a mistake
Should I go or should I stay?
I fell into a distraction
One minute 'til it comes crashin' down
Need more than just satisfaction
Satisfaction
It's not your fault
I'm better on my own
I'm not the girl you knew
Not tryna break your heart
Sometimes good things fall apart
Yeah, you don't feel like home
Like somethin' I've outgrown
Think I'm better on my own
Maybe I'm better off alone
Really wanna get away
Think I need to take some space
And I feel so suffocated
Feel the same like every day
Conversations on replay
I just need to take a break
Take a break, take a break
I fell into a distraction
One minute 'til it comes crashin' down
Need more than just satisfaction
Satisfaction
It's not your fault
I'm better on my own
I'm not the girl you knew
Not tryna break your heart
Sometimes good things fall apart
Yeah, you don't feel like home
Like somethin' I've outgrown
Think I'm better on my own
Maybe I'm better off alone
I fell into a distraction
One minute 'til it comes crashin'
Need more than just satisfaction
It's not your fault
I'm better on my own
I'm not the girl you knew
Not tryna break your heart
Sometimes good things fall apart
Yeah, you don't feel like home
Like somethin' I've outgrown
Think I'm better on my own
Maybe I'm better off alone
The lyrics to Maggie Lindemann's song It's Not Your Fault speak to the struggle of trying to maintain a relationship when feeling overwhelmed and suffocated. The opening lines of "Feels like I'm goin' insane, Take me to the bed and get me out of my brain" describe a need for escape from the constant thoughts and emotions that are causing distress. The repetition of "Should I go or should I stay?" demonstrates a sense of uncertainty about what to do next. The desire for distance is clear in the lines "Really wanna get away, Think I need to take some space, And I feel so suffocated, Feel the same like every day, Conversations on replay, I just need to take a break, Take a break, take a break."
The chorus, "It's not your fault, I'm better on my own" conveys a sense of responsibility for the situation while also acknowledging that the relationship may not be the best thing for the singer. The line "Like somethin' I've outgrown, Think I'm better on my own" showcases the feeling that the relationship has run its course and that it's time to move on for the greater good. Lastly, the lines "Not tryna break your heart, Sometimes good things fall apart, Yeah, you don't feel like home" highlight the desire to end things amicably and recognizing that sometimes ending a relationship is the best thing for both parties involved.
