Oh things are kind of strange, but that’s just how it be
Expressing acknowledgment that things in life can be unconventional or unusual, but that's the nature of reality.
And I’m sorry

That you had to see the me
Regret for someone witnessing a version of the speaker that they dislike or reject.
That I don’t wanna be
Admitting a desire not to embody a particular self or identity.
So why don’t you tell me

Yeah I’m sure I seem out of my mind
Acknowledging that the speaker might appear eccentric or irrational.
But I’m just tryna get you out of mine
Expressing the intention to move on from a past relationship or emotional burden.
Played with my heart then I was cast aside
Describing a past experience of heartbreak or betrayal.
And that was the day that I died

So I wrote this simple song
Explaining the creation of a song as a response to the mentioned experience.
And I’m hoping that you’ll all sing along
Expressing hope that others will join in singing the song, possibly seeking solidarity.
It’s a pretty simple melody

Please be patient enough to see
Requesting patience from the audience to fully appreciate the song.
It goes oh
