“Not Mad Anymore” is a love letter to Ashe’s struggles with love, accepting that a relationship will not work out the way she wants. By the end of the song she comes to terms with her frustration that this dynamic has caused.
[Verse 1]
Burned out like a star
'Cause baby, we were made to fall apart
The best songs never last for very long
Don't forget the start
'Cause even if we're made to fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]
That's life, no one makes it out alive
Oh, no, not even Jesus Christ
So even if it makes you cry, ooh
[Chorus]
Oh, babe, for the first time, yesterday
I wasn't mad anymore about the madness, screamin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, babe, you're the bеst mistake I made
I'm not mad anymore about thе madness, screamin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
I'm not mad anymore about the madness
We didn't have any more of the magic
[Verse 2]
Went down like the Sun
But I still hope the best is yet to come
So forget all that angry shit I said
A time on a road trip, I was being controlling
So you got out the car while it was still rolling
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, that's life, no one makes it out alive
Oh, no, not even Jesus Christ
So even if it makes you cry, ooh
[Chorus]
Oh, babe, for the first time, yesterday
I wasn't mad anymore about the madness, screamin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, babe, you're the best mistake I made
I'm not mad anymore about the madness, screamin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
I'm not mad anymore about the madness
We didn't have any more of the magic
[Bridge]
(I'm not mad anymore, I'm not mad anymore)
(I'm not mad anymore, I'm not mad anymore)
(I'm not mad anymore, I'm not mad anymore)
(I'm not mad anymore, I'm not mad anymore)
Burned out like a star
'Cause baby, we were made to fall apart
[Chorus]
Oh, babe, for the first time, yesterday
I wasn't mad anymore about the madness, screamin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, babe, you're the best mistake I made
I'm not mad anymore about the madness, screamin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh
I'm not mad anymore about the madness
We didn't have any more of the magic
