An energetic synth-pop track, “Fainted Love” sees Conan describing a one-sided relationship in which he’d do anything for his partner, but they only reciprocate a weak or “fainted” love. He is aware that his partner is not an ideal one, but he settles for them nevertheless by putting aside his feeli...
[Verse 1]
Stoplights, a familiar drive
Through another ghost town on a Saturday night
Alone, so you're losing your mind tonight (Tonight, tonight)
And I said, "Calm down, I'll be there by the nine
Don't you get yourself down, not the end of your life
Don't mean that you're marrying me tonight, tonight"
[Pre-Chorus]
And you said, "You got it? We're nothing
I'm the worst if you want it"
[Chorus]
When your heart aches and it's dead in the night
Don't you worry for me, it's cool
It's enough to survive, don't you worry
I want your
Fainted love, that's enough, fainted love
[Verse 2]
Dark room, not a whispering word
Guess you take all the pain that you think you deserve
Won't sleep 'cause it's easy to hurt tonight, tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you said, "You got it? We're nothing
I'm the worst if you want it"
[Chorus]
When your heart aches and it's dead in the night
Don't you worry for me, it's cool
It's enough to survive, don't you worry I want your
Fainted love, that's enough, fainted love
I want your fainted love, that's enough, fainted love
[Bridge]
White lies from the passenger seat
Say you'll love me for life, say you'll never leave
Kiss me 'til I almost believe, tonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
[Chorus]
But when your heart aches and it's dead in the night
Don't you worry for me, it's cool
It's enough to survive
Don't you worry I want your
Fainted love, that's enough, fainted love
I want your fainted love, that's enough, fainted love

“Fainted Love” is about accepting love that is not as great as you deserve. I think there’s been so many times in life that I’ve accepted lesser forms of love just for the sake of knowing that somebody loved me at all in some way. It’s a super damaging thing. You should not do that, but let’s be fuc...
