Original Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oxytocin makin' it all okay
When I come back down, it doesn't feel the same
Now, I'm sittin' 'round waitin' for the world to end all day
'Cause I couldn't leave you if I tried
[Pre-Chorus]
You break me, then I break my rules
Last time was the last time, too
It's fucked up, I know, but I'm still
[Chorus]
Outside of the party, smokin' in the car with you
Seven-nation army fightin' at the bar with you
Tell you that I'm sorry, tell me what I gotta do
'Cause I can't let go, it's chemical
No, I can't let go, it's chemical
[Verse 2]
Every time I'm ready to make a change (Mmm)
You turn around and fuck out all my brains (Woo)
I ain't tryna fight fate, it's too late to save face
I can't get away, maybe there's no mistakes (Maybe there's no mistakes)
[Pre-Chorus]
You break me, then I break my rules
Last time was the last time, too
It's fucked up, I know, but I'm still (Still)

Meaning & Explanation
The song explores the destructive and addictive nature of a toxic relationship. The narrator is trapped in a cycle of pain and obsession, unable to break free despite recognizing the harm caused by his partner. The 'chemical' reference likely symbolizes the intoxicating and overwhelming feelings that keep him bound to her, even as he acknowledges the devastation.
The lyrics depict a volatile dynamic characterized by emotional manipulation, self-destructive behavior, and a desperate attempt at reconciliation. He repeatedly tries to express remorse ('Tell you that I’m sorry') and seek guidance ('tell me what I gotta do'), but his efforts are futile due to the deeply ingrained addiction to this relationship.
