Killing Me
NOTD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at you
Over there, over me with someone new
It's like he fixed your heart with super glue
So fast, I'm so mad at how happy you are now

There you go
Acting like nothin' ever happened, don't you know
How hard that it's been for me to let you go?
Oh my God, I'm so sick of seeing you out

Smiling in pictures
Like you've never been better
Just throwing it all in my face

It's killing me
Tell me why you gotta bring out all my jealousy?
Baby, you don't even treat me like an enemy
We're done, we're through
Yeah, it's just killing me
How much it's not killing you
How much it's not killing you

I wish you would
Stop tellin' all my friends you're doing good
'Cause I still miss you more than I probably should
So, pump the breaks, I'm movin' on
'Cause you never cared about me, no, you never did

It's killing me
Tell me why you gotta bring out all my jealousy?
Baby, you don't even treat me like an enemy
We're done, we're through
Yeah, it's just killing me
How much it's not killing you
How much it's not killing you

Can't you have a little decency
And maybe try to be a little less over me?
Do you even cry? Lose any sleep at night?
'Cause you're really convincing how much you're living your life

And it's just killing me
Tell me why you gotta bring out all my jealousy?
Baby, you don't even treat me like an enemy
We're done, we're through
Yeah, it's just killing me
How much it's not killing you
How much it's not killing you





How much it's not killing you, yeah
How much it's not killing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NOTD's song "Killing Me" explore the painful experience of seeing an ex-partner move on quickly and seemingly effortlessly after a breakup. The singer is filled with jealousy and frustration as they observe their ex with someone new, acting as if nothing ever happened between them. The idea of the ex "fixing" their heart with "super glue" suggests that the new relationship is strong and stable, which intensifies the singer's feelings of anger and sadness.


The chorus repeats the phrase "It's killing me," emphasizing the emotional turmoil the singer is going through. They question why their ex needs to flaunt their happiness and make them feel even more jealous. The line "How much it's not killing you" highlights the stark contrast between the singer's struggle to move on and their ex's apparent ease in doing so.


In the second verse, the singer expresses a desire for their ex to stop spreading the message that they are doing well, as it only serves to remind them of their lingering feelings and longing. The realization that their ex never truly cared about them adds a layer of bitterness to the singer's emotions.


In the bridge, the singer pleads for their ex to show some decency by not excessively flaunting their new life and perhaps showing some vulnerability. The rhetorical questions about crying and losing sleep express the singer's doubt about the authenticity of their ex's apparent happiness.


Overall, "Killing Me" portrays the painful experience of seeing an ex move on while the singer is still struggling with their feelings. It captures the conflicting emotions of jealousy, longing, and frustration that arise in such situations.


Line by Line Meaning

Look at you
Take a moment to observe and acknowledge your current state


Over there, over me with someone new
In a position of being with someone else, surpassing the connection we once had


It's like he fixed your heart with super glue
Their presence seems to have miraculously healed the emotional wounds you once had


So fast, I'm so mad at how happy you are now
The speed at which you've found happiness infuriates me


There you go
And there you are


Acting like nothin' ever happened, don't you know
Behaving as if our past experiences and relationship never occurred, oblivious to the impact it had on me


How hard that it's been for me to let you go?
Do you have any idea how difficult it has been for me to move on from you?


Oh my God, I'm so sick of seeing you out
Gosh, I'm incredibly tired of witnessing you living your life freely


Smiling in pictures
Posing happily in photographs


Like you've never been better
As if you've never experienced any emotional struggles or hardships


Just throwing it all in my face
Deliberately flaunting your happiness to provoke negative emotions in me


It's killing me
It's causing me intense emotional pain and distress


Tell me why you gotta bring out all my jealousy?
Explain why you feel the need to invoke feelings of jealousy within me


Baby, you don't even treat me like an enemy
Darling, you don't even give me the satisfaction of being your adversary


We're done, we're through
Our relationship has come to an end, it's completely over


Yeah, it's just killing me
Yes, it's causing me immense pain


How much it's not killing you
The extent to which it doesn't seem to affect you at all


I wish you would
I desire for you to


Stop tellin' all my friends you're doing good
Cease informing all my acquaintances about how well you're doing


'Cause I still miss you more than I probably should
Because, truthfully, I still long for you more than is reasonable


So, pump the breaks, I'm movin' on
Therefore, slow down your actions, as I am progressing and leaving you behind


'Cause you never cared about me, no, you never did
Because, deep down, you never truly had any genuine concern for me


Can't you have a little decency
Is it impossible for you to possess even a small amount of respectability?


And maybe try to be a little less over me?
And perhaps attempt to be less fixated on me?


Do you even cry? Lose any sleep at night?
Do you even shed tears? Experience any sleepless nights due to our separation?


'Cause you're really convincing how much you're living your life
Because you're doing a great job of persuading others that you are truly enjoying your existence


How much it's not killing you
The degree to which it has no negative impact on you


How much it's not killing you
The extent to which it does not cause you any harm

How much you're living your life
And it's just

It's killing me
Tell me why you gotta bring out all my jealousy
Baby you don't even treat me like an enemy
We're done, we're through
Yeah, it's just killing me
How much it's not killing you
How much it's not killing you
How much it's not killing you
