This song describes the experience of someone who is struggling with feelings for someone, whilst also struggling with self love. The lyrics, “I don’t want to see me, I wanna be trapped in you / I don’t want to be me, but I’m gonna pretend for you,” encapsulate this idea.
[Verse 1]
Gonna crack a rib, when I get home
I'm gonna bury you in my favorite hole
I made a bloody mess in the kitchen sink
I tried to fix myself, but I didn't think
[Bridge]
They said, "We just want to talk with you"
"We just want to walk you through," oh
[Guitar Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't want to see me
I wanna be trapped in you
Oh, I don't want to be me
But I'm gonna pretend for you, oh
[Guitar Break]
[Verse 2]
Let's paint our nails and keep it real
'Cause honey all I know is what I feel
I'm still looking for a friend of a friend
He said he'd hook me up, he told me what he had
[Bridge]
They say, "Leave your body, leave your mind
Don't you know you're out of time?"
[Verse 3]
In his room, in his bed
You can't hear what he said
Looks like dirt, tastes like trash
Honey, I know you could float right past
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't want to see me
I wanna be trapped in you
Oh, I don't want to be me
But I'm gonna pretend for you, oh
