Lyrics

Do you ever wanna die just to know what people thought about you

Expressing curiosity about how others perceive the individual, contemplating the idea of experiencing death to gain insights into people's thoughts.

Do you ever wonder why it has to be this way

Raising a question about the inevitability of life circumstances and the difficulty in understanding the reasons for certain situations.

In the middle of a drive

Describing a moment during a drive.

Pedal to the metal, head is spinning faster than the fuckin' wheels below

Conveying a sense of intense speed and disorientation, possibly metaphorical for a chaotic or fast-paced life.

Maybe break some bones, but then she'll tell you how she feels

Suggesting a willingness to endure physical pain in order to understand someone's emotions.

And sometimes at night I fantasize about how it would feel

Reflecting on nighttime fantasies related to the emotional impact of certain experiences.

To hear you cry my name and know I'm not insane

Imagining the emotional connection of hearing one's name cried, seeking validation of sanity.


(I am not insane, I am not insane)

Reiterating a claim of sanity.

(I am not insane, I am not insane)

-

I'm not insane, I'm not insane

-

I'm not insane, it was real

Acknowledging a real experience, possibly contrasting with the previous assertion of sanity.

Tell me what you want me to do

Expressing a desire for guidance or direction in a relationship, struggling with emotional turmoil.

I've been tryna make my way back to you

-

But now I'm stuck inside my head, can't get out of bed

-

Staring at the empty space you left

-

In the middle of the night

Setting the scene of yearning for past romantic moments during the night.

Wishing I was kissing you the way we used to do before you disappeared

Expressing longing and dedication despite a sense of loss and confusion in the relationship.

But baby, I'm still here

-

Where did I go wrong

Pondering the reasons for a relationship's breakdown and a commitment to express emotions openly through music.

I'll wear my heart up on my sleeve and sing this song in every city 'til it gets to you

-

Until I make it through

Expressing determination to continue the musical expression until reaching the intended recipient.

If you don't love me, set me free

Offering freedom if love is absent.


(I am not insane, I am not insane)

Reiterating a claim of sanity in a repeated refrain.

(I am not insane, I am not insane)

-

I'm not insane, I'm not insane

-

I'm not insane, it was real

-

Tell me what you want me to do

Revisiting the theme of trying to reconnect in a relationship but facing internal struggles.

I've been tryna make my way back to you

-

But now I'm stuck inside my head, can't get out of bed

-

Staring at the empty space you left

-

I'll hold a vigil for the living just so you can see the bullshit that you put me through

Expressing a willingness to endure and showcase the pain caused by the relationship.

You fuckin' put me through it

-

So hold my heart under a microscope

Metaphorically exploring the impact of the person on the singer's emotional and physical well-being.

Tell me why my arteries and every single part of me

-

Are lifeless 'til the moment you walk in the room

-

And I just wish you knew

Expressing a desire for the person to understand the depth of emotional impact.

I never said goodbye, but God, I wanted to

Confessing a desire to say goodbye despite not vocalizing it.

But you fucked my life up, fucked my life up

Blaming the person for negatively affecting the singer's life.

Fucked my life up, fucked my life up
