In his interview with Medium, Matt said that Nokia was “[…] basically realizing that you can help somebody that you once cared about, but can’t be bothered anymore, but also realizing that’s not your responsibility at this point in time — it’s your own responsibility to help yourself.”
This song is...
[Chorus]
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you’re on your own
[Post-Chorus]
I remember jumping straight into the deep-end
How I was always jumping out to be your defense
And yeah my feelings, they were real, but yours were pretend, yeah
[Refrain]
Sometimes I really want you but sometimes I really don't
When you come around I feel like being on my phone
I don't know how to feel when my cover has been blown
But I’m keeping it real and feeling myself when I'm alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Making up my mind is not my bеst perk
I try to make evеryone happy but it don't work
I try to make myself happy but it don't work, no
Making up my mind is not my best perk
I try to make everyone happy but it don't work
I try to make myself happy but it don't work, no
[Chorus]
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
[Post-Chorus]
I remember always texting on the weekends
How you were sending funny shit into my DMs
The way my feelings always changed but it depends, yeah
[Refrain]
Sometimes I really want you but sometimes I really don’t
When you come around I feel like sinking but I float
I don’t know how to feel when my heart is in my throat
But I'm keeping it real and dealing with shit all on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Making up my mind is not my best perk
I try to make everyone happy but it don’t work
I try to make myself happy but it don't work, no
Making up my mind is not my best perk
I try to make everyone happy but it don't work
I try to make myself happy but it don't work, no
[Chorus]
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you’re on your own
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
[Post-Chorus]
I remember jumping straight into the deep-end
How I was always jumping out to be your defense
And yeah my feelings, they were real, but yours were pretend
[Refrain]
Sometimes I really want you but sometimes I really don't
When you come around I feel like being on my phone
I don't know how to feel when my cover has been blown
But I'm keeping it real and feeling myself when I'm alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Making up my mind is not my best perk
I try to make everyone happy but it don't work
I try to make myself happy but it don't work, no
Making up my mind is not my best perk
I try to make everyone happy but it don't work
I try to make myself happy but it don't work, no
[Bridge]
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
And I wish that I could help
And I wish that I could help
But you're on your own
