Meltdown
Ponette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a million questions, i can't think straight
Had to many drinks, i can't walk straight
It's building up, i think this is a meltdown, breakdown I can be your high for the night,
I can be so wild like your dreams,
I'll make you come alive for a little while, while

Yeah, i promise you it all looks good on paper but i can promise you it's not like that
My heart is hurting, i don't trust the world
I don't understand who I am to you
My heart is hurting, i don't trust the world i don't understand who i am to you

Everything is blurry when i'm with you
Shit, i just don't want you like i used to
This is rough but i can't be your lifeline you're not mine

Wanna get me high for the night,
I could let you try, you won't get it right
Only feel alive when i dream at night

Yeah, you love my eyes i do look good in pictures but i keep telling you i'm not like that

My heart is hurting, i don't trust the world
I don't understand who I am to you
My heart is hurting, i don't trust the world i don't understand who i am to you

My heart beats faster now
I feel this major pressure (i don't understand)
I can't keep running round
I'm screaming, there's no sound, this is such a Nightmare (i don't understand)

My heart is hurting, i don't trust the world i don't understand who I am, do you?

my heart is hurting, i don't trust the world i don't understand who I am to you

My heart beats faster now
I feel this major pressure (i don't understand)
I can't keep running round
I'm screaming, there's no sound, this is such a Nightmare (i don't understand)

My heart beats faster now
I feel this major pressure (i don't understand)




I can't keep running round
I'm screaming, there's no sound, this is such a Nightmare (i don't understand)

[Verse 1]
Got a million questions
I can't think straight
Had too many drinks
I canโ€™t walk straight
It's building up, I think this is a meltdown
Breakdown
I can be your high for the night
I, I can be so wild like your dreams
I'll make you come alive for a little while
While

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I promise you
It all looks good on paper
But I can promise you itโ€™s not like that

[Chorus] x2
My heart is hurting
I don't trust the world
I don't understand
Who I am, to you

[Verse 2]
Everything is blurry
When I'am with you
Shit, I just don't want you
Like I used to
This is rough but I can't be your lifeline
You're not mine
Wanna get me high for the night
I, I could let you try, You won't get it right
Only feel alive, When Iโ€™m dreaming, I, I

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, You love my eyes
I do look good in pictures
But I keep telling you, Iโ€™m not like that

[Chorus] x2
My heart is hurting
I don't trust the world
I donโ€™t understand
Who I am, to you

[Verse 3]
My heart beats faster now
I feel this major pressure
I can't keep running 'round
Tomorrow I'll be better
Iโ€™m screaming there's no sound
This is such a nightmare
Strange places all around
Hunts me when I'm down

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is hurting
I don't trust the world
I don't understand
Who I am
Do you?
[Chorus]
My heart is hurting
I don't trust the world
I don't understand
Who I am, to you

[Outro]
My heart beats faster now
(faster now, faster now)
I feel this major pressure
(I don't understand)
I can't keep running 'round
(running 'round, running 'round)
I'm screaming there's no sound
This is such a nightmare
(I don't understand)
My heart beats faster now
(-stand, -stand)
I feel this major pressure
(-stand, -stand)
I don't understand
(I can't keep running 'round, running, 'round)
I'm screaming there's no sound
This is such a nightmare
