Excuse my French
But every time you turn your phone around
I just kind of lose my
Lose my shit
Thinking it’s another me
Hanging on the other line
I’m fine
I keep bringing all my problems to a pillow fight
And I’m
Just trying to get to you
But it’s not your fault
No it’s not your fault
No it’s not your fault, no no
‘Cause if I’m gonna learn how to love you
I need to unlearn how to love too
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God I’m trying
If I’m gonna learn how to choose you
I need to unlearn what I’m used to
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God I’m trying
Excuse my mouth
But every time you run a little late
Hanging with your friends, I
Freak the fuck out
Then you come home
And your kiss tastes like mine
I’m fine
I keep bringing all my problems to a pillow fight
And I’m
Just trying to get to you
But it’s not your fault
No it’s not your fault
No it’s not your fault, no no
‘Cause if I’m gonna learn how to love you
I need to unlearn how to love too
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God I’m trying
If I’m gonna learn how to choose you
I need to unlearn what I’m used to
Need to unlearn how to run when it feels right
Oh my God I’m trying
Letting Go to Move Forward
“Unlearn” by benny blanco explores the challenging journey of changing old habits to build healthier relationships. With open vulnerability, the lyrics capture the struggle of overcoming insecurities and past wounds. The narrator admits to overreacting and feeling anxious, especially when trust is put to the test, but the repetition of “Oh my God I’m trying” highlights sincere effort and self-awareness. The song beautifully conveys that real love often requires unlearning past defense mechanisms and relearning how to trust and choose a partner wholeheartedly.
