[Verse 1]
I'm living with your ghost now
Everywhere I go, you follow me
Thought I left you in the background
Why you gotta keep on haunting me?
All these perfect memories
Burning down in front of me
At least I got a great view
But it won't be from your bedroom
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, you said the city wouldn't change you
Ooh, look at the monster that it made you
[Chorus]
I can't get you off my mind
You said we'd be friends 'til the day we die
Well, I am still alive
They said the truth hurts, but what about lies?
Cut my head off my neck
Oh, just to forget
Can't get you off my mind
They said the truth hurts, but you fucking lied
[Post-Chorus]
You lied, lied
Lied, lied, lied
[Verse 2]
Do whatever you think that is right for you
Put yourself first, what you always do
I don't wanna get pushed to the side for you
You're the only thing I thought that I would never lose
I've been out of my head, you're MIA
I guess what we had was just a phase
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, you said the city wouldn't change you
Ooh, look at the monster that it made you
[Chorus]
I can't get you off my mind
You said we'd be friends 'til the day we die
Well, I am still alive
They said the truth hurts, but what about lies?
Cut my head off my neck
Oh, just to forget
Can't get you off my mind
They said the truth hurts, but you fucking lied
[Bridge]
I wish we never met (I wish we never met)
You rip my heart out of my chest (You rip my heart)
I wish we never met, no, no
You rip my heart out of my chest, my chest
[Chorus]
I can't get you off my mind (My mind)
You said we'd be friends 'til the day we die ('Til the day we die)
Well, I am still alive (Well, I'm still alive)
They said the truth hurts, but what about lies?
Cut my head off my neck
Oh, just to forget
Can't get you off my mind (I can't get you off my mind)
They said the truth hurts, but you fucking lied (But you lied)
[Outro]
Cut my head off my neck
Oh, just to forget
Can't get you off my mind
They said the truth hurts, but you fucking lied
Off My Neck was written by John Feldmann & MOD SUN & Carlie Hanson.
Off My Neck was produced by John Feldmann.
Carlie Hanson released Off My Neck on Fri Aug 13 2021.
“Off My Neck” is about a friendship that goes sideways and how you want to escape your own brain just to stop thinking about it – especially when it’s someone you thought would be in your life forever.

I was really having a hard time with those lyrics. I was writing about a a friend I had just gone through a rough time with. I was really hurt by how our friendship ended and I felt anger, sadness, confusion… So many emotions that I just couldn’t get the words right. It was a hard subject for me to...
