i feel like this song is about getting invested into someone distanced, too invested. and wasting time on it too the point youve wasted so much time into someone not worth it wasting your time depending on them for everything: finding it hard to let go.
[Verse 1]
Don't take yourself so seriously
Look at you all dressed up for someone you never see
You're here for a reason but you don't know why
You're split and uneven, your hands to the sky
Surrender yourself
[Chorus]
And I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again
[Post-Chorus]
Hope I wake up young again
[Verse 2]
Don't let those demons in again
I fill the void up with polished doubt, fake sentiment
Surrender yourself
[Chorus]
And I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again
[Post-Chorus]
Hope I wake up young again
Hope I wake up young again
[Bridge]
Why won't you take me seriously?
Look at me all fucked up over someone I'll never meet
[Chorus]
And I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
And now I lay myself down and hope I wake
I wonder why I tear myself down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow I wake up young again
All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence
And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again
[Post-Chorus]
Hope I wake up young again
Hope I wake up young again
