“Future Me Hates Me” is about falling in love, but it’s mainly about fear and self-doubt. The narrator is reluctant to risk their heart in a relationship, but because they’ve met someone who may be worth the risk, they’re also reluctant to let the opportunity pass them by.
In an interview, Elizabet...
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to, I didn't want to fall
I don't believe that love's a good idea at all
Oh, this well designed woe, everyone that I know is broken
And has fell for it before
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I think I'm doing fine, I think I'm pretty smart
I'm quite convinced that I can keep myself apart
Oh, then the walls become thin and somebody gets in, I'm defenseless
But it won't happen again, it probably won't happen again
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's something about you (About you, about you)
There's something about you (About you, about you)
There's something about you
I wanna risk going through
[Chorus]
Future heartbreak, future headaches
Wide eyed nights late, lying awake
With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes
Future me hates me for, hates me for
[Verse 3]
It's getting dangerous, I could get hurt, I know
I've counted up the cons, they far outweigh the pros
Oh, and the floodgates are down, it's the Marlborough Sounds, I am drowning
It's too late for me now, I need you sticking around
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there's something about you (About you, about you)
There's something about you (About you, about you)
There's something about you
I wanna risk going through
[Chorus]
Future heartbreak, future headaches
Wide eyed nights late, lying awake
With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes
Future me hates me for, hates me
[Chorus]
Future heartbreak, future headaches
Wide eyed nights late, lying awake
With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes
Future me hates me for, hates me for
[Bridge]
(Ooh ooh ooh)
(Bah-bah bah, bah bah bah) (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Bah-bah bah, bah bah bah) (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Bah-bah bah, bah bah bah) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Chorus]
Future heartbreak, future headaches
Wide eyed nights late, lying awake
With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes
Future me hates me for, hates me for
[Outro]
Future heartbreak (The floodgates are down)
Future headaches (It's the Marlborough Sounds)
Wide eyed nights late lying awake
(Walls become thin and somebody gets in)
And future cold shakes (It's a well designed woe)
From stupid mistakes (Everyone that I know)
Future me hates me for (Is broken)
Hates me
Future heartbreak (Floodgates are down)
(It's the Marlborough Sounds)
(Walls become thin and somebody gets in)
Future cold shakes (It's a well designed woe)
(Everyone that I know is broken)
