Verse 1

You see me walking away
And I know that the last thing you said
Was another regret I won't feel
But it's not what you say
It's the look on your face when you say it
That keeps on replaying the scene

In this verse, the singer reflects on a recent goodbye. They recognize that the last words spoken were filled with regret, but they choose not to feel that regret. What sticks with them is the expression on their ex’s face, showing how powerful non-verbal communication can be. It’s like the images of that moment replay in their mind, which sets the tone for the emotional struggle ahead.

Chorus

You're still stuck in my, stuck in my, stuck in my head
Unlike anything that you ever said
You're still stuck in my, stuck in my, stuck in my head
Guess I can't pretend that we never met, not yet
No
Oh, yea-yea-yeah

The chorus hits hard with the idea that memories are relentless. The repetition of "stuck in my head" emphasizes how trapped the singer feels. They can’t shake off their thoughts about this person, even though they claim to not miss what they had.

Verse 2

It's got me running in place
And I know if I hear one more song
On those streets we drove on, I might break
I cut this off when I was through
How could my mind be stuck on you
I don't miss what we had before
And I don't need this anymore

In the second verse, the singer talks about being stuck in a loop, unable to move forward. The mention of songs tied to memories shows how music can trigger emotions and memories. Even though they've tried to cut ties, their mind still lingers on their ex. It’s a contradiction, feeling like they don’t miss the relationship but still being haunted by it.

Chorus

You're still stuck in my, stuck in my, stuck in my head
Unlike anything that you ever said
You're still stuck in my, stuck in my, stuck in my head
Guess I can't pretend that we never met, not yet
No

You couldn't make me feel a thing
So then why am I still stuck on you and me
It happens even when I try to go to sleep
Wake me up from this dream, and

This part shows a moment of vulnerability and confusion, highlighting the struggle of wanting to move on but being unable to escape those thoughts, even in dreams.

Outro

Just get outta my, outta my, outta my head

No
Oh, yea-yea-yeah
