I
Should have told
You how I really feel
A little in advance
Then I
Would’ve had some time
To go and work it out
I think I’ve lost my chance
For the last 3 years I just hid it so well
Hoping that you’d figure it out because I never could tell it
Straight to your face
Never have I ever woken up in a cold hard sweat
From a dream wondering
If you’d ever say “goodbye”
If I didn’t say it first
I’m done
Playing these games
I can’t believe what I’m about to say
I won’t tell you goodbye
With my love left behind
Kiss me before I
Fucking lose my
Mind
No
No more nights
Drinking to my loneliness
Up till 2 AM
No
No more waiting
Pacing round the bar
Hoping that you might walk in
For the last 3 years I just hid it so well
Hoping that you’d figure it out because I never could tell it
Straight to your face
Never have I ever woken up in a cold hard sweat
From a dream wondering
If you’d ever say “goodbye”
If I didn’t say it first
I’m done
Playing these games
I can’t believe what I’m about to say
No I won’t tell you goodbye
With my love left behind
Kiss me before I
Fucking lose my mind
Oooo…
I’m done
Playing these games
I can’t believe what I’m about to say
‘Cause I would rather die
Than feeling this inside
Tricks played on my mind
No I would rather die
Than just tell you goodbye
With my love left behind
Kiss me before I
Fucking lose my
Mind
Confessions Unleashed: A Battle with Vulnerability
“Kiss Me Before I Fucking Lose My Mind” by Charlie Puth dives deep into the torment of unspoken love. The lyrics reveal an emotional tug-of-war, with the protagonist regretting their silence and fearing the consequences of not revealing their true feelings. For three years, they’ve masked their emotions, hoping the other person would intuitively understand. The song captures that pivotal moment when bottled-up passion and regret come to a head, resulting in a desperate plea for connection before everything falls apart.
Breaking the Cycle of Loneliness
Puth’s narrative is raw and relatable, describing the end of lonely nights and futile waiting. The chorus’s directness—”Kiss me before I fucking lose my mind”—hammers home the urgency and vulnerability of admitting love before it’s too late. Ultimately, the song is a cathartic release from fear, with the protagonist choosing honesty and action over endless emotional games.
