Ever feel like you're losing yourself while trying to meet everyone else's expectations? Halsey dives deep into that struggle in this track. She reflects on the pressures of living up to a self-created image and the toll it takes on her identity. The lyrics reveal a battle between holding onto who she is and the overwhelming desire for change. There’s a haunting sense of regret and uncertainty about whether breaking free will leave an unfillable void. The spoken word at the end underscores her plea not to be seen as anyone's savior but just a person seeking her own peace. It’s raw, honest, and incredibly relatable for anyone grappling with self-identity in a chaotic world.

Lyrics
Standing now in the mirror that I built myself
And I can't remember why the decision wasn't mine
But it seems I'm only clinging to an idea now
Took my heart and sold it out
To a vision that I wrote myself
And I don't want to be somebody in America
Just fighting the hysteria
I only wanna die someday
Someday, someday
When I burst into flames
I'll leave you the dust, my love
Hope a bit of it will be enough
To help remember the days
When we came to this place
I told you I'd spill my guts
I left you to clean it up
I'm bursting out of the
Seems like now it's impossible to work this out
I'm so committed to an old ghost town
Is it really that strange if I always wanna change?
And if only the time and space between us wasn't lonely
I'd disintegrate into a thousand pieces
I think I'm making a mistake
But if I decide to break, who will fill the empty space?
So now if I figure this out
Apart from my beating heart
It's a muscle but it's still not strong enough
To carry the weight of the choices I've made
I told you I'd ride this out
It's getting harder every day somehow
I'm bursting out of myself
"Too many guys think I'm a concept
Or I complete them or I'm going to 'Make them alive'
But I'm just a fucked up girl
Who's looking for my own peace of mind
Don't assign me yours"
