Lose My Mind
The-Wanted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say that time
Heals everything
But they don't know you
And the scars you bring

'Cause you left a jagged hole
And I can't stand it anymore
If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it, I can't take it

I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

I'd erase my thoughts
If only I knew how
Fill my head with white noise
If it would drown you out
Kill the sound

If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it, I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it, I can't take it

I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

And I'd rather be crazy
I'd rather go insane
Than having you stalk
My every thought
Then having you here inside my heart

If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it





I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Wanted's Lose My Mind are about heartbreak and the feelings of desperation and despair that come with it. The persona is struggling to move on from someone who has left them scarred and hurting. They say that time heals everything, but it's not working for them because the person they're missing is not just someone that left them, but someone who left them with a jagged hole in their heart.


The persona is dealing with emotional pain so intense that it's manifesting physically in their head, causing them to feel like they're losing their mind. The idea of heartache being a physical pain that they can face is something they can handle, but the pain they're experiencing coming from inside their head is too much to bear. They wish they could erase their thoughts or fill them with white noise to drown out their thoughts of this person, but they can't seem to escape them.


Towards the end of the song, the persona gets desperate to escape their thoughts of this person, even if it means going insane. They'd rather be crazy and lose their mind than have this person continue to stalk their thoughts and be a permanent fixture in their heart.


Overall, Lose My Mind is a powerful song that perfectly captures the struggles of heartbreak and holding onto the pain that comes with it.
