Lyrics
It's the worst feeling you could possibly get
Expressing the intense and unpleasant emotion, possibly related to love.
You're in love, but you know you're just faking it
Being in love but acknowledging that the feelings may not be genuine.
What do you do when you're scared to tell the truth?
Contemplating what to do when afraid of revealing the truth.
I don't wanna address these feelings
Avoiding confronting or dealing with these emotions.
But I know I can't keep lying to you like this
Acknowledging the impossibility of continuing to deceive someone.
We'll feel better if we released
Suggesting that releasing emotions can lead to feeling better.
Each other from this loosening grip
Ending a relationship or connection that has become loose and burdensome.
I know you fear this
Acknowledging the partner's fear in the situation.
"I don't wanna hear it", you said to me
Recalling the partner saying, "I don't wanna hear it."
But I can't keep lying like this
Unable to continue lying but struggling with the truth.
"I don't wanna hear it"
Reiterating the partner's refusal to hear the truth.
But I still screamed it out loud
Despite not wanting to hear it, expressing the truth loudly.
Guess I didn't fear it
Realizing there was no fear in expressing the truth.
I'm finally proud
Feeling a sense of pride and liberation.
You can't hold me down anymore
Breaking free from a controlling influence.
I've won this war
Claiming victory over internal struggles and challenges.
How does it feel
Questioning the emotional impact of taking away someone's pride.
When it's your pride that I steal?
Boasting about winning a personal battle by overcoming others' pride.
I've spent my whole life not wanting to speak up
Reflecting on a lifetime of avoiding speaking out or standing up.
I've been trapped in that moment for a while
Being stuck in a moment of hesitation and indecision.
The pressure's been building up until it'll erupt
Pressure building up until reaching a breaking point.
That stuff will kill you as a child
Cautioning against harmful experiences that can affect a person from a young age.
I don't want my past to define me
Rejecting the idea of being defined by past experiences.
That's no longer me, so start looking at me
Insisting on being seen for who they are now.
From now on, I can guarantee
Committing to a new and liberated identity.
I don't wanna hear it if it tries to hold me back
Rejecting anything that tries to hold back personal progress.
"I don't wanna hear it"
Repeating the partner's refusal to hear the truth.
But I still screamed it out loud
Expressing the truth loudly despite the partner's reluctance.
Guess I didn't fear it
Reflecting on the absence of fear in expressing the truth.
I'm finally proud
Feeling proud and liberated once again.
You can't hold me down anymore
Declaring freedom from external constraints.
I've won this war
Affirming victory in overcoming personal challenges.
How does it feel
Posing the question about the emotional impact of taking away someone's pride.
When it's your pride that I steal?
Reiterating the theme of winning over others' pride.
"I don't wanna hear it"
Repeating the partner's refusal to hear the truth.
But I still screamed it out loud
Expressing the truth loudly despite the partner's reluctance.
Guess I didn't fear it
Reflecting on the absence of fear in expressing the truth.
I'm finally proud
Feeling proud and liberated once again.
I'm finally proud
Reiterating a sense of pride and liberation.
