go away Lyrics
You say I should be on top of the world but I'm not feeling much
You know, I used to think I could fly, now I'm just holding on
Yeah, I'm laughing in a room full of strangers on the verge of tears
Yeah, I should be on top of the world but yet I'm right here
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh 'cause every time (Every time)
You look at me, it's never enough for you
It can't be fair to me
'Cause boy you know I'm so damn in love with you
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh-ooh
I've been stuck seeing your face in everyone
Shouldn't have played in your game of fun
Now I don't think I'm okay, you never go away
Oh, enjoy the show, you seem to love whеn I'm alone
You like to care until you don't
Now I don't think I'm okay, you nеver go away
Oh, ooh-ooh (Oh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
I should be on top of the world but I've been falling down
And each day gets a little bit worse when you're not around (Oh, oh)
Was driving and I thought that I saw you and I almost crashed
The sad part is if the roles were reversed, you would've drove right past
'Cause every time (Every time)
You look at me, it's never enough for you
It can't be fair to me
'Cause boy you know I'm so damn in love with you
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh-ooh
I've been stuck seeing your face in everyone
Shouldn't have played in your game of fun
Now I don't think I'm okay, you never go away
Oh, enjoy the show, you seem to love when I'm alone
You like to care until you don't
Now I don't think I'm okay, you never go away
Oh, ooh-ooh (Oh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
Please, just don't forget me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I can see you're empty
Please, just don't forget me, babe

It’s a really crazy thing how you can get so caught up on one person that no matter how great your life is, this person will still be the only thing on your mind. I was going through some experiences that I always dreamed of—moments that I should have been super present for, where I should have been happy and feeling on top of the world. It’s so wild to me that if one person is stuck on your mind, it can take up all of your thoughts and distract you from anything good going on. This song was a cool way for me to sum up the album: I should be enjoying everything right now, and I should feel like my life is going great, and I don’t because of you—because you’re the only thing I can think of.
