No Use
The Modern Art of Heartbreak
Lyrics
Staying out late out of spite
Staying out late as an act of defiance or resentment.
Can't let you know that you're in my mind
Intentionally hiding feelings about someone to avoid showing vulnerability.
Thriving off cheap liquor and resentment
Feeling energized or sustained by alcohol and bitterness.
I'm drinking to forget tonight
Drinking to escape or erase memories or feelings.
I guess we both have that alike
Both parties share similarities in their attempts to forget.
Let's not pretend we don't know where you've been
Avoiding acknowledging the truth about the other person's actions.
Forget my name and I'll forget you
Expressing a desire to forget the person completely.
Forget my name and I'll forget you
-Faceless ghosts
Feeling haunted or bothered by memories of the person.
Won't leave me alone
Memories or thoughts of the person persistently linger.
No one knows me quite like they do
Feeling understood or known deeply by memories of the person.
The modern art of falling apart
Experiencing a breakdown or deterioration in a modern context.
No one does it quite like we do
No one handles falling apart as uniquely as they do.
Quite like we do
Emphasizing uniqueness in the way of falling apart.
Anxiety's no friend of mine
Anxiety is a constant, distressing presence.
And it won't stop eating me alive
Anxiety is consuming and causing great distress.
Sick of overthinking now I know where you've been
Realizing the truth about the other person's actions after excessive thinking.
Forget my name and I'll forget you
Reiterating the desire to forget the person.
Forget my name and I'll forget you
-Faceless ghosts
Continued haunting or persistence of memories.
Won't leave me alone
Feeling deeply understood or known by these persistent memories.
No one knows me quite like they do
-The modern art of falling apart
-No one does it quite like we do
-Quite like we do
-Was she worth it
Questioning the value or worth of the other person's actions.
Was she worth all the hell you put me through
Questioning if enduring pain was worth it for the actions of the other person.
Did I deserve it
Reflecting on personal accountability for the situation.
Now we're hurting ourselves to make it through
Enduring self-harm or pain in an attempt to cope.
No use
Realizing there's no point in excessive thinking or actions regarding the person.
No use
-In overthinking and overdrinking
Repetitive thoughts and actions about the person are futile.
About you
-Bout you
-I won't let you see me sinking
Not allowing the person to witness personal struggles or vulnerability.
Faceless ghosts
Feeling deeply understood or known by these persistent memories.
Won't leave me alone
-No one knows me quite like they do
Feeling understood or known deeply by memories of the person.
The modern art of falling apart
Uniqueness in the experience of falling apart.
No one does it quite like we do
-Quite like we do
Emphasizing the distinctive way both parties experience their struggles.
