[Verse 1]
Heartbreak Saturday nights, getting ready
To make you see that I'm better already
I put on every perfume
And I do it to hurt you
And, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Make sure I smell like your bedroom when I was in it
Wearing the dress that I met you in, sent you spinning
And I flirt with your friends
But it’s a beggar's revenge
'Cause she’s with you again
And I try to look away
[Chorus]
'Cause in my head, in my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours, and I should know better, but I
Can't forget, oh, forget how it was before
Oh, it felt forever, baby
We should still be holding on
I should still put on your coat
And when the music dies out
You should still take me home
'Cause in my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours still
[Verse 2]
This dress' too nice for a jacket, so I'm freezing
You’re walking past and on habit, I lean in
Close to your touch ’cause I still think we're an “us”
I know I should give it up
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like half of me’s missing
But there's no hope
You don't care who I'm kissing
When the lights go
Oh, I know, I know that you don’t
[Chorus]
'Cause in my head, in my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours, and I should know better, but I
Can't forget, oh, forget how it was before
Oh, it felt forever, baby
We should still be holding on
I should still put on your coat
And when the music dies out
You should still take me home
'Cause in my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours
In my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours
[Bridge]
Oh, I'm still hurting and I'm still here
You're still not looking at me, my dear
I'll watch you leaving, I'll watch you go
And I'll say nothing
But we both know
[Outro]
In my head, in my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours, mm
In my head, in my head, in my head, in my head
I'm yours

The whole song is really about putting on a front and trying to seem better than you are. I wanted to bring to light that sometimes you don’t always feel like you look like you feel
