Phantom pain is pain that feels like it’s coming from a body part that’s no longer there. In the case of this song, the pain is emotional and comes from someone who is no longer around.
You're not even here to hurt my feelings
So why do I still feel you?
I've been busy fucking with your ghost
But I'd rather have the real you
I've been trying to hold it together (Here without you)
Somehow, it's always still (All about you)
I'm trying to make it work (I don't know how to)
Why am I upset? Acting so defensive
I don't even know how I got so goddamn dependent
Thought it'd be easy to throw you away (Phantom pain)
I had to let you go because we couldn't fix it
Now I feel so stupid, God, I hate how much I miss you
I cannot shake this phantom pain
Phantom pain
(Phantom pain)
Phantom pain
Some days, I wish I never cut you off
I don't know how you still get me
It's been a fucking minute since we talked
I'm still wrapped around your memory
And just when I think I'm getting better (Here without you)
I end up thinking 'bout you again
Why am I upset? Acting so defensive
I don't even know how I got so goddamn dependent
Thought it'd be easy to throw you away (Phantom pain)
I had to let you go because we couldn't fix it
Now I feel so stupid, God, I hate how much I miss you
I cannot shake this phantom pain
Phantom pain
(Phantom pain)
Why am I upset?
Phantom pain
Acting so defensive
Yeah
Why am I upset?
Phantom pain
(Phantom pain)
Why am I upset?
Phantom pain
Acting so defensive
Yeah
Why am I upset?
Why am I upset? Acting so defensive
I don't even know how I got so goddamn dependent
Thought it'd be easy to throw you away (Phantom pain)
I had to let you go because we couldn't fix it
Now I feel so stupid, God, I hate how much I miss you
I cannot shake this phantom pain
