Go Away
Tate McRae Lyrics

You say I should be on top of the world but I'm not feeling much
Despite your expectations for me to be happy and successful, I am actually quite emotionally empty.

You know I used to think I could fly, now I'm just holding on
I used to have great aspirations and confidence, but now I am barely managing to stay afloat.

Yeah, I'm laughing in a room full of strangers on the verge of tears
I am putting on a facade of happiness in front of people I don't even know, while deep inside, I am on the brink of breaking down.

Ooh, I should be on top of the world but yet I'm right here
Despite society's expectations for me to be successful, I find myself stuck in this state of emotional turmoil.

Oh, 'cause every time you look at me it's never enough for you
No matter how much attention or affection I receive from you, it always seems insufficient in your eyes.

You can't be fair to me 'cause, boy, you know I'm so damn in love with you
Because of my strong feelings for you, you are able to manipulate and take advantage of me without treating me fairly.

Oh, I've been stuck seeing your face in everyone
I constantly find reminders of you in every person I encounter, which makes it difficult for me to move on.

Shouldn't have played in your game of fun
I regret ever getting involved with you and participating in your manipulative and deceptive games.

Now I don't think I'm okay
As a result of our toxic relationship and your actions, I am questioning my own emotional well-being.

You never go away
You continue to haunt my thoughts and emotions, and I can't escape your presence.

Oh, enjoy the show
You seem to take pleasure in witnessing my struggles and pain.

You seem to love when I'm alone
You derive enjoyment from seeing me isolated and vulnerable.

You like to care until you don't
You pretend to care about me, but only until it no longer benefits you or meets your needs.

Now I don't think I'm okay
The emotional turmoil caused by our relationship has left me feeling unstable and unsure of my own well-being.

You never go away, oh
You continue to linger in my thoughts and memories, refusing to leave me alone.

I should be on top of the world but I've been falling down
Despite the expectations I have for myself to be successful, I find myself continuously declining and failing.

And each day gets a little bit worse when you're not around
The absence of your presence in my life only exacerbates my emotional state, causing each day to be increasingly difficult.

Was driving and I thought that I saw you and I almost crashed
While driving, I had a sudden moment of confusion and thought I saw you, causing me to lose focus and nearly get into an accident.

The sad part is if the roles were reversed you woulda drove right past
Ironically, if our situations were reversed, you would not have shown me the same concern or consideration, and simply ignored me in a time of need.

Please just don't forget me
I plead for you to remember me and the impact you had on my life, even if it was negative.

I can see you're empty
I realize that you are emotionally vacant and incapable of providing the love and support I need.

Please just don't forget me, babe
I desperately hope that you do not erase me from your memory and dismiss the impact we had on each other.
