Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a girl and she died
She couldn't stand me and took a high dive
Told all my friends that she lost her mind
Just another one along for the ride
Oh
I've been good for six months and I swear it
But the next one's got me checking my shoulder
Just over and over

I think she lost her mind
I've been keeping my head down low
Cause I know the less you know the better
She's coming to hunt me down
According to my friends she's got a gun
In Africa she hunted big game
And it's insane oh
I think she lost her mind
I had a boy and he lied
Come on out with your hands held high
Girl you got me but I know my rights, you have to decide she said
We're gonna have to shoot this one out
I've been keeping my head down low
Cause I know the less you know the better
She's coming to hunt me down
According to my friends she's got a gun
In Africa she hunted big game
And it's insane oh
I think she lost her mind
I think you lost your mind
I think you lost your mind
I never do what's best for me
A catastrophe but quite successfully yeah
Thanks for the drugs and having sex with me
I know you're obsessed Katie
Oh I never wanna take you back
(Six months and I swear it)
(Six months and I swear it)
(Six months and I swear it)
I never wanna take you back
I think you lost your mind
I think you lost your mind
I think you lost your mind (And I don't wanna talk about it)
I think you lost your mind
I think you lost your mind
I think you lost your mind
(I never wanna take you back, what a shame she lost her mind)
I think you lost your mind, lost your mind
(And I don't wanna talk about it, she couldn't cope)
I hate you
I hate you
What a shame she lost her mind
I think you lost your mind, lost your mind
(And I don't wanna talk about it, she couldn't cope)
What a shame she lost her mind
I think you lost your mind
She couldn't cope
Couldn't cope

I think you lost your mind
I think you lost
