After the first debut on a live stream, Sydney Dolezal said this song is about feeling hopeless and sad and like there’s no end, but coming to peace with it and admitting you need help because you know you feel stuck.
[Verse 1]
I hear voices in my head
But they're not people
They're just screens behind the wall
Where my thoughts should be
I've had to be alone
Always belonging to someone
Never on my own 'til now
And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts
[Chorus]
It hurts
And I'm still lonely
I don't know if I'll feel better
It hurts
And I'm so sorry
I don't know if I'll feel better
I don't know if I'll get better
[Verse 2]
I am falling and I hate it
I can't fix it, I can't fill it
And it doesn't seem to let
No matter what I try
It feels empty and cold
Here on my own
Where do I belong
Where do I go, go
Where do I go
[Chorus]
It hurts
And I'm still lonely
I don't know if I'll feel better
It hurts
And I'm so sorry
I don't know if I'll feel better
I don't know if I'll get better
[Bridge]
Gotta feeling in my chest
Cause I'm so tired
And now it's brought back
When I'm alone at night
Gotta fill this pit in my chest
And I'll make it go away
When I'm alone at night
How do I feel okay
[Outro]
How do I feel
How do I feel
(How do I feel)
(How do I feel)
How do I feel
How do I feel
Okay
