Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

stuck in my head, feelin like death,
was just tryna be perfect whenever you left,
but i guess it aint work cause im lying alone,
room is so empty, aint here in my home,
if we're being honest our story was tragic,
i wrote you that song now i wish it was static,
cause im missing you when im off of the brandy,
im feeling depressed god this shits so traumatic,
honestly i dont know what to expect,
reached for my heart, ripped it out from my chest,
i hate that you hate me, i hate that i love you,
i hate that the last time i kissed you i hugged you,
we had a bond, i can never replace it,
gave you my heart, i guess i was complacent,
we shared that kiss on that bridge in new jersey,
you put your hand on my face said dont worry,

i said i loved you you said you too,
my demons inside even thought it was true,
guess i was wrong, i know i shoulda known,
if you were my queen, had to give up my throne,
im fallin down inside of a spiral, you waiting for me so i could go viral,
off of the lyrics i make from this heartbreak,
you just want me to just die from this heartache,
im getting restless im feelin the hurt,
pour it all down my throat why wont it burn,
i wrote you this song in case you wonder how i feel,
now its all up to me to to get me out of here,
i know i dont love you but i still miss you,
if im gonna write this song just know id still kiss you,

if only i said im in love with you first,
you wouldnt have left me all covered in dirt,
if only i told you the truth of it all,
you wouldnt have left me alone to just fall,
i knew you would leave one day,
that day i was dreadin it,
i knew you would see one day,
it'd be you who was endin it,
now that you're gone, now that its over,
i have too many problems like tryna stay sober,
its almost our season, the snow is arriving,
the leaves are now changing, just like the horizon,
kiss in the park i miss how it was,
rather do that than tryna get buzzed,




i felt so in love, it became like a habit,
and then when we stopped it just felt so tramautic
