CAN WE IGNORE IT? :( Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
I play with fire, kinda like the way I feel when it burns
If I'm bein' honest, I'll take anything as long as it hurts
I need a doctor, got a sickness, and it's just getting worse
I said, "I think I'm dying" he said, "Darling, you've been dying since birth"
[Pre-Chorus]
By the way, I don't have much to give
It's all the same, this ain't no way to live
And every day I get up and run 'round in circles
[Chorus]
Can we ignore it, baby, even for just one day?
Don't wanna talk about it, I just put on my face
And if you love me like you say, you'll let me escape
[Verse 2]
I need a little bit of something to take off the edge
I mean, realistically, I just need a new set of friends (They don't care, they don't care)
I got shut down in therapy, he said there's people who need real help (I need you to need me, darling)
(Ah) What a waste of my fucking money, I'll just do it myself
[Pre-Chorus]
By the way, I don't have much to give
It's all the same, this fucked up way I live
And every day I get up and run 'round in circles
[Chorus]
Can we ignore it, baby, even for just one day?
Don't wanna talk about it, I just put on my face
And if you love me like you say, you'll let me escape (Say what's wrong)
Three in the morning, I don't even know my name
Don't wanna talk about it, I just put on my face
And if you love me like you say, you'll let me escape
[Bridge]
I really want—, I wanna get—
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, yeah, yeah
Oh, can we just?
[Chorus]
Can we ignore it, baby, even for just one day?
Don't wanna talk about it, I just put on my face
And if you love me like you say, you'll let me escape

What did Lola Young say about "CAN WE IGNORE IT? :("?
This just flowed out. It’s about wanting to ignore my feelings and needing other people to do the same—and letting go and wanting to escape. I wanted it to feel very dark and raw, but also energetic and high-tempo. Usually, the first thing that comes out when I’m writing sticks, and the lyrics alway...
