Stitches
Shawn Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my loverMove on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart, cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Needle and the thread, gotta get you outta my head
Needle and the thread, gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread, gotta get you outta my head
Needle and the thread, gonna wind up dead (gonna wind up dead)
Needle and the thread, gotta get you outta my head (gotta get you outta my head)
Needle and the thread, gonna wind up dead (wind up dead)
Needle and the thread, gotta get you outta my head, get you outta my head
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses (without you)
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help (begging baby, please)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
The lyrics of Shawn Mendesā hit song āStitchesā delve into the concept of heartbreak and the pain that lingers after a relationship ends. The first verse sets the tone for the song and indicates how hurt the singer is. He claims to have been hurt before, but no one has left him as deeply wounded as this person. The words of the person were sharp and felt like a knife wound. The pain is so severe that the singer feels like they need someone else to help them recover.
The chorus emphasizes the pain and desperation felt by the singer. He feels like he is sinking and on the verge of drowning. The singer is pleading for the other person to just walk away and let him move on. The metaphor of someone bleeding until they canāt breathe emphasizes how deep the pain is. At this point in the song, the singer is begging for help and stating that they will need more than just a band-aid to fix the pain.
In the second verse, Shawn Mendes describes how he was lured into the relationship, unable to sense the pain he was about to experience. The bitter heart of the other person has left him alone and seeing red, along with the realization that he is going to get what he deserves. The needle and thread represent the healing process and the effort to get the person out of his head.
