Gaslight Lyrics
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
[Verse 1]
I like you, you like me
That's why I'm confused, I can't read the signs
So why you gotta treat me like this?
I just need to breathe so I don't go apeshit
When I wake up, I see you
At night in my dreams
Yeah that too and I
I just need some closure, can you hit my line, yeah?
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
[Verse 1]
I like you, you like me
That's why I'm confused, I can't read the signs
So why you gotta treat me like this?
I just need to breathe so I don't go apeshit
When I wake up, I see you
At night in my dreams
Yeah that too and I
I just need some closure, can you hit my line, yeah?
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
[Verse 2]
Confused
I'm right here so what we gon' do
Act like there's something to lose
But there ain't none, but there ain't none
You really tryna (Waste my time)
I need to get you (Out my mind)
We'll break the cycle (In due time, in due time)
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
Confused
I'm right here so what we gon' do
Act like there's something to lose
But there ain't none, but there ain't none
You really tryna (Waste my time)
I need to get you (Out my mind)
We'll break the cycle (In due time, in due time)
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Gaslighting” is the name for specific type of manipulation in which the manipulator is attempting to get their victim to question their sanity or reality. Some examples include someone telling you something, that definitely happened, never did, or that you are just crazy or too sensitive.
In this song, Willow is talking about how her previous lover gaslighted her in many ways, but now that she’s ‘blown it out’, or come to realize the manipulation she was under, she can move forward.
