Out Of My Head
Newman feat. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
16 weeks since you've been gone
As time goes by there's no pieces left
No memories of you & me
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
Free to see the world now as my own
Sleep with any woman that I want
But anytime anyone gets close
Breaks through my mind, what I have lost
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
You called to say you're missing me, but never ask how I feel
I'm beaten, I'm broke
I'm out of my mind, but learning to get on by fine
To shut out being lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out being lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
The lyrics to Newman feat. John's song Out Of My Head tell the story of a person who is struggling to come to terms with the break-up of a relationship. The person is alone in a broken home and it has been 16 weeks since their partner left. As time goes by, there are no memories left of the relationship. The person is trying to shut out feeling lonely by getting out of their head, but they are not dealing with it well. They question why anyone would want to love somebody when love hurts in the end.
The person is now free to see the world on their own and sleep with anyone they want but finds that whenever anyone gets close, they are reminded of what they have lost. They use the same coping mechanism of getting out of their head to shut out being lonely, again questioning why anyone would want to love somebody when love hurts in the end. Even though their ex calls to say they are missing them, they never ask how the person feels. The person is beaten, broke, and out of their mind but is learning to get on by fine.

As time goes by there's no pieces left
No memories of you and me
To shut out feeling lonely.
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely.
I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
Free to see the world now as my own
Sleep with any woman that I want
But anytime anyone gets close,
Breaks through my mind, "What I have lost?"
To shut out feeling lonely.
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely.
I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
You called to say you're missing me,
But never ask how I feel
I'm beaten, I'm broke
I'm out of my mind,
But learning to get on by fine
To shut out feeling lonely.
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely.
I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
Love hurts in the end

"Two days ago, the New York State board voted to disbar Jessica Pearson. As the firm's managing partner, I completely support this decision. Jessica Person's conduct was not only selfish and unethical, it was also reckless. For that reason, effective immediately, the name of Jessica Pearson will no longer be associated in any way with our firm. With the removal of that name, I look forward to bringing this disgraceful chapter of our firm's history to a close".
