I Don't Know
Punchline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So why are you playing these games with my head
You act like I'm not hurt
So explain to me why I'm sitting the bench
I'm starting to scare myself
Sometimes I don't even know who i am
Just you and no one else
And everyone is second guessing me
And no one seems to care about what i think
I don't know what to do
Anymore
Wanna know
Why let me tell you
No time to think (no time to breathe)
I remember at the end of the day
You'd be there if i needed you
This day won't end
This love just might
I'm not sure when I realized that
Theres a lesson to be learned from
All of these happenings
Just don't get your hopes up
Just don't get your hopes up
And everyone is second guessing me
And no one seems to care about what i think
I don't know what to do
Anymore
Wanna know
Why let me tell you
No time to think (no time to breathe)
I remember at the end of the day
You'd be there if i needed you
This day won't end
This love just might
Because I have no time
Well then you must not love me
she says
Hide behind
If you can't admit
The times with her
That you don't want to forget
Ask yourself this: Is this worth it?
I don't know what to do
Anymore
Wanna know
Why let me tell you.
I don't know what to do
Come on come on
Get your groove on
I don't know what to do
Anymore
Wanna know
Why let me tell you.
I don't know what to do
Come on come on
Get your groove on
I don't know what to do
Anymore
Wanna know
Why let me tell you.
No time to think
In Punchline's song "I Don't Know," the singer is expressing their frustration with their partner's games and lack of empathy. The singer dislikes sports, yet their partner is playing mind games with them. Even more frustrating, the partner is acting like they don't care that the singer is hurt. The singer is starting to lose themselves in this relationship. They feel like they have lost their identity and yet they continue to be with this person. Everyone around them seems to have a say on their relationship, but no one seems to care about what the singer thinks.
The chorus repeats the line "I don't know what to do anymore" several times, showing the singer's confusion and uncertainty. They want to know why this relationship has to be so difficult and frustrating. The singer remembers that their partner used to be there for them, but that's not the case anymore. The singer feels like they are suffocating - they have no time to think or breathe.
The bridge highlights the lack of communication in the relationship. The partner accuses the singer of not loving them because they do not have time. However, the singer points out that the partner is hiding behind their own issues instead of admitting their mistakes. The singer asks if this unhealthy relationship is worth it.

Holy shit I haven't heard this song in absolutely years, not since ... well, when mp3.com was basically the Soundcloud of the early 2000s as opposed to whatever the hell it is now. The memories~
