Lyrics
Imma go around, paint my nails
Expressing a desire to stand out and be unique by painting nails.
Even tho you never liked that
Addressing the disapproval of a specific person regarding the nail painting.
Write a song about it, even tho you never sang back
Writing a song despite the lack of reciprocation in singing from the other person.
I think that you like me, I will never say it back
Believing the other person likes them but choosing not to verbalize it.
You say you don't like me? well then
Reacting to the other person's apparent contradiction about not liking them.
Why are you so into everything
Perceiving the other person's intense interest in everything they do or say.
I do or say? I think you're into me
Feeling that the other person is secretly attracted based on their behavior.
I know what I see, I see your jealousy
Observing jealousy in the other person's actions.
I'm not perfect, but you paint me as your king
Acknowledging imperfections but being idealized as a king by the other person.
Uh
Transition or pause in the narrative.
Had enough of
Expressing dissatisfaction with trying to conform to others' expectations.
Trying hard to
-Be someone
-I don't want to, but
-There's no place
-For me out here
-I don't think
-Imma stay here
-You don't like me
Highlighting the contradictory feelings of the other person wanting but not liking them.
But you want me
-Wanna hold me
-And attack me, yeah
-Come on, move now
Encouraging the other person to either give their best or leave.
Give me all your best, or just go now
-I say I don't care if I get hurt, I
Expressing a willingness to endure pain and acknowledging vulnerability.
Know what it feels like
-I've done things I shouldn't do now
-Mama wouldn't like it if she saw us
-And the worst that you can do is realize
-I'm not strong enough, I know you
-Wanna, I know you wanna
Describing the fear of letting go despite potential harm.
Possess me, yeah

-But you hate me, yeah
-You just wanna use me for your stupid games
-I'm afraid I'll let you in, but I don't
-Wanna let you go, and you won't
-Go, you won't go
-2 AM, I'm still awake
Insomnia and persistent thoughts about the person in the singer's mind.
Couldn't fall asleep for days
-I just have you in my brain, you're in my veins
-You're in my pain, no
-I don't need a medicine, need you to
Rejecting the idea of needing medication but wanting the person to disappear.
Disapear, need you to disapear
-Come on, move now
Reiteration of the internal struggle with vulnerability and the fear of letting go.
Give me all your best, or just go now

-I'm not strong enough, I know you
-Wanna, I know you wanna
-Possess me, yeah

Expressing the need for rest and a desire to feel alive again.
I just need to rest
-I just wanna feel
-Feel alive again
-I just wanna feel
-That I own a thing...
-Possess me, yeah
Repeating the theme of the other person trying to possess them despite negative feelings.
I know that you're trying to possess me, yeah

Punch to the troath, get 'em to the floor
Metaphorical description of a physical confrontation and the singer's emotional state.
I've been sad and quiet here for long enough
