In My Blood (Portuguese Version)
In My Blood (Portuguese Version) Lyrics
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
[Verse 1]
Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
I'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something
I could take to ease my mind slowly
O sonho que trago comigo
Se acreditar sonho contigo
Keep telling me that it gets better
Does it ever?
[Pre-Chorus]
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
[Chorus]
It isn't in my blood
Eu vou acreditar
I'm looking through my phone again feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, I hate this
I'm trying to find a way to chill, can't breathe, oh
Is there somebody who could...
[Pre-Chorus]
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
[Chorus]
It isn't in my blood
Eu vou acreditar
[Bridge]
Que vamos conseguir
Que vamos conquistar
Nós somos Portugal
Uma só voz e um coração
[Pre-Chorus]
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
Eu vou acreditar, oh
[Outro]
It isn't in my blood
Que vamos conquistar
Nós somos Portugal
Uma só voz e um coração
It isn't in my blood

In a May 23, 2018 interview to Billboard, Shawn Mendes said:
The concept of this song is about how it feels [when] you’re about to give up, and then you don’t. That’s the whole payoff in the chorus section…It’s about something that I think everybody goes through and it’s something that I think people don’t talk about often, especially in music.
