In “Trigger”, Hayley looks back on her experiences in toxic relationships and how she looked over red flags because she only wanted to feel loved.
She compares her own emotional triggers and those of her lover to the trigger on a gun which could go off at any moment.
[Verse 1]
All I ever had to say about love is a sad song
I get off on tellin' everybody what went wrong
It makes me feel like the pain had a purpose
Keeps me believin' that maybe it's worth it
Truth is, all I really want is somebody who wants me
Somebody I can count on who won't disappoint me
At first, it seems easy, I vow not to give up
Let 'em debase me while keepin' my chin up
[Chorus]
'Cause I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
How come you never put the safety on?
I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
How come you never put the safety on? Mmm
[Verse 2]
So, what do people sing about once they finally found it?
Take it for granted, think of how they were better without it?
I'd like to imagine I'd never be like that
But if I'm honest, I know I already have
[Chorus]
'Cause I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
How come you never put the safety on?
I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
How come you never put the safety on? Mmm
[Bridge]
Mmm
[Chorus]
I got the trigger, but you own the gun
How come you never put the safety on?
Yeah, I got the trigger, but you hold the gun
How come you never put the safety on? Mmm
