Verse 1

I don't know what's right or what's wrong, but you can play games
So I'll do the same, love
I'm scared of what I've been tryin'
I'll bite the dust, but I'm still on the pavement

Chorus

You're worried
I'm in love with the feeling that's dying
You're worried
I'm in love with the feeling that's dying
You're worried
I'm in love with the feeling

The chorus repeats a cycle of concern and fading passion. The repetition of “you’re worried” creates a sense of tension. It highlights how the speaker is aware of the other person’s feelings but is stuck in their own emotional mess.

Blacking out often, I'm so obnoxious
I'm such a problem and I'm so psychotic
Sometimes I feel bad, I make you nauseous
Crawl out your skin and crawl into your coffin

You're the worst, girl, you're just a corpse, girl
Plus anything that's not an option
I'm so scared of everyone
I'll be so dead before this whole song ends
