Get Out
The Fuck-Ups Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't pretend to not know
Who I was
The reason now, that I'm depressed
Is you telling me that I'm best
The best for you
Well If that all did not apply
Then why the hell tell a lie
A lie to me
Seeking your eyes with mine
Should, but don't wanna stop tryin'
And every night when I go up to bed
I can't seem to get you to
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Before my feelings turn to shreds
Get out of my head
Thinking back to the time where you
Didn't start to look away
When I was near
The reason now for my frustration
Is you giving me the temptation
To look at you
I know I told you then no
I'm not shy
But honestly that was just a lie
A lie to get you
Seeking your eyes with mine
Should, but don't wanna stop tryin'
And every night when I go up to bed
I can't seem to get you to
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Before my feelings turn to shreds
Get out of my
head

Thinkin' back to the time where you
Reflecting on a past time when you
Didn't pretend to not know
Were honest about knowing me
Who I was
My true identity
The reason now, that I'm depressed
The cause of my current state of mind
Is you telling me that I'm best
Your complimenting me as the best
The best for you
The ideal match for you
Well if that all did not apply
If that wasn't really true
Then why the hell tell a lie
Why lie about it?
A lie to me
A falsehood directed at me
Seeking your eyes with mine
Looking for eye contact with you
Should, but don't wanna stop tryin'
Know that I should stop trying, but don't want to
And every night when I go up to bed
Each night when I try to sleep
I can't seem to get you to
Can't stop thinking about you
Get out of my head
Get out of my thoughts
Before my feelings turn to shreds
Before my emotions become overwhelmed
Thinking back to the time where you
Recalling a moment when you
Didn't start to look away
Didn't avoid making eye contact
When I was near
When I was in your proximity
The reason now for my frustration
The cause of my current state of annoyance
Is you giving me the temptation
Is the allure you provide me
To look at you
To gaze upon you
I know I told you then no
I previously denied it
I'm not shy
Not being timid
But honestly that was just a lie
But in truth, that was a falsehood
A lie to get you
A falsehood to obtain your attention
Get out of my head
Leave my thoughts
Before my feelings turn to shreds
Before my emotions become overwhelming
Get out of my head
Leave my thoughts
Get out of my head
Leave my thoughts
Get out of my head
Leave my thoughts
Before my feelings turn to shreds
Before my emotions become overwhelming
Get out of my head
Leave my thoughts
