Alina is reminded of someone from the past, most likely a romantic partner. She is constantly reminded of this person and finds that they have ruined or tainted the things that remind her of them (chorus). Alina wants to get over and forget about this person from her past (verses 1 & 2). And if...
[Verse 1]
(What?)
Is it over?
I'm too busy getting over
Feel like I've been working overtime
Every time, it's you and I
Now I'm a little older
Don't want it just like I told you
Feel like I've been working overtime
Getting tired of you and I (you and I)
[Pre-Chorus]
If you really want to know how I'm doing just ask
Really want to know but the moment has passed
Really want to know but you don't really know though
Really want to know
[Chorus]
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is tainted, baby
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is tainted
[Verse 2]
No, I don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend my days here
No, I don't want to lay here blind
Getting high, every night
Don't want to be submissive
Why you gotta be defensive?
Just trying to get you off my mind
Getting tired of you and I
[Chorus]
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is tainted, baby
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is tainted
[Pre-Chorus]
If you really want to know how I'm doing just ask
Really want to know but the moment has passed
Really want to know but you don't really know though
Really want to know
If you really want to know how I'm doing just ask
Really want to know but the moment has passed
Really want to know but you don't really know though
Really want to know
[Chorus]
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is tainted, baby
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is
Everything, everything you touch is tainted
