A lyric about wanting to love like everyone else, but finding you can't.
A lyric about wanting to love like everyone else, but finding you can't.
The lyric circles a specific kind of exhaustion: the work of pretending you're fine when you're not, and the deeper work of pretending you even want to pretend.
It's less about heartbreak and more about the fatigue of failing at a basic social contract.

Why can't I just love like normal

The phrase 'Why can't I just love like normal' isn't a question expecting an answer. It's the sound of someone hitting a wall they've been circling for a while. The 'made up happy ending, all the pretending' she mentions isn't something she scorns, it's a skill she wishes she had, a script she can't follow even though she's read it a hundred times.
It's a plain, almost childish question that carries the whole song's weight. Normal isn't an ideal here; it's just a simpler way to be that's permanently out of reach.
The way 'I should've been more selfish or more weightless' sits there, offering two opposite escapes, and admitting neither was possible.

I think it's enough
Would've already walked out
If only I could
But the truth is that I should
I should've been more selfish or more weightless
I just couldn't be like others
Naive me, you got along with
I should've felt much happier
But I'm still not that wise, never been wiser
You never said goodbye with lips
But I feel like I heard it for real
Why can't I just love like normal
Like made up happy ending, all the pretending
Or hiding feelings
Want to be just like you once
Make it up If I do wrong
Ignore and leave the silence
I'm pretty sure you don't know how
You could have turned us into
Better situations
No stupid talk, neither sweet talks
Still think bout when I've let you in
I couldn't help it for real
Why can't I just love like normal
Like made up happy ending, all the pretending
Or hiding feelings
Want to be just like you once
Make it up If I do wrong
Ignore and leave the silence
