I saw you staring out of your own abyss again
Waiting for something you're not sure even still exists
Don't be afraid to wonder, don't be afraid to be scared
It should never be a prison
So I apologise if you feel something
But love is all we have, feel something (Amo)
Or if I steal something, please, remember it was mine
Feel something (Ah, ah, ah, amo)
About
The opening track for amo, as well as “MANTRA”’s intro, “i apologise if you feel something” leads with love like the whole album. As Jordan Fish said:
The song is essentially someone saying to their partner that they are in control of their own heart.
An instrumental version of this song was performed in every show from the First Love World Tour:

We wrote this with the intention of it being a kind of intro to the album, but it ended up being something in between that and a full song because we loved it so much. It’s pretty much just electronics and vocals. We wanted to set up “MANTRA,” and because it’s been out already we didn’t want that to be the first thing that people would hear on the album. So this sets the tone with the right level of emotion. It’s a really special one for me, and it’s very different for us. I’m sure a lot of people will be surprised when they hear it because it’s unlike anything we’ve done before. There may even be a hint of this on our next tour. The song is essentially someone saying to their partner that they are in control of their own heart. Like, “Sorry if this hurts you, but your love is yours to give, so if the relationship isn’t working for you that’s your prerogative.” It’s a theme that runs throughout the album.
