The sixth single from his debut album Tribute, ‘Out of My Head’ makes references to a break-up from a relationship that hasn’t worked out and that John’s numbing mind about the ex-partner, is taking it’s toll on his livelihood.
Living in a broken home alone
Sixteen weeks since you've been gone
As time goes by, there's no pieces left
No memories of you and me
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
Free to see the world now as my own
Sleep with any woman that I want
But anytime anyone gets close
Breaks through my mind what I have lost
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
You called to say you're missing me, but never ask how I feel
Well I'm beaten, I'm broke
I'm out of my mind but learning to get on by fine
To shut out being lonely
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out being lonely
I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?
Love hurts in the end
