death wish Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you remember the pact that we made
To move to Japan, live ’til a hundred and eight?
I’m scared you might go and throw it all away
For a tall, pretty boy with a good-lookin’ face, mm-mm

[Pre-Chorus]
Does it make me an awful person ’cause I don’t wanna lose
My favorite people to other people that I didn’t choose?
I’ll never say it but I’m prayin’ they don’t find out who
They’re lookin’ for

[Chorus]
I know it sounds bad like a death wish, oh-oh
But Cupid keeps killin’ my friendships, oh-oh
Hope you never fall in love
Hope your dearest turns to dust
Though I’ll never, ever confess it
But under my breath I got a death wish

[Verse 2]
I know it’s normal to grow apart at our kinda age
But I was hopin’ that boy you like would just be a phase (A phase)
And you’d run back to me, laugh and commiserate
But you’ve been gone for weeks
Guess Romeo’s here to stay (Stay)

[Pre-Chorus]
Does it make me an awful person ’cause I don’t wanna lose
My favorite person, nothing’s worse than ever losin’ you
I’ll never say it but I’m prayin’ they don’t find out who
They’re lookin’ for (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I know it sounds bad like a death wish, oh-oh
But Cupid keeps killin’ my friendships (Oh-oh), oh-oh
Hope you never fall in love
Hope your dearest turns to dust
Though I’ll never, ever confess it (Ooh-woah)
But under my breath I got a death wish

[Bridge]
How dare he goes and take my favorite?
I loved you way before they did
I’ll bite my tongue, no, I won’t say it
Won’t say it, won’t say it

[Chorus]
I know it sounds bad like a death wish, oh-oh
But Cupid keeps killin’ my friendships, oh-oh (Oh)
Hope you never fall in love
Hope your dearest turns to dust
Though I’ll never, ever confess it (Never confess)
But under my breath I got a death wish

[Outro]
I’ll bite my tongue, no, I won’t say it (Woah, won’t say it)
Under my breath I got a death wish

death wish Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Lyn opens the song with nostalgia and heartbreak, referencing a youthful pact to grow old together in Japan—an intimate dream now under threat. She fears losing her closest friend to someone new, someone whose charm might rewrite their shared future. The line between playful jealousy and real emotional pain blurs here, setting the tone for a song about quietly unraveling bonds.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lyn questions her own morality, wondering if it’s wrong to dread losing her friend to people she never chose. Her internal conflict builds as she confesses—silently—that she’s hoping these new relationships don’t work out. It’s a mix of fear, selfishness, and longing, all delivered with understated emotional weight.

[Chorus]
The chorus bursts with ironic honesty. Lyn likens her possessiveness to a “death wish,” acknowledging how extreme her thoughts sound. With Cupid cast as the villain, she blames love for severing her cherished friendships. Her wishes—that her friend’s love fails—are never voiced aloud, but they live uncomfortably in her thoughts. The juxtaposition of dark humor and emotional sincerity adds complexity to her confession.

[Verse 2]
Here, Lyn addresses the inevitability of growing apart but clings to the hope that her friend’s crush would be short-lived. Her disappointment turns sharper as she realizes the new relationship is lasting. The phrase “Romeo’s here to stay” is delivered with bitter resignation, underscoring her fear of being permanently replaced.

[Pre-Chorus]
This section intensifies the emotional core, with Lyn now framing her friend not as one of many, but as her “favorite person.” The vulnerability deepens—this isn’t just about losing someone to love, it’s about losing a sense of home and stability. Again, she won’t say any of it out loud, but her inner world is bursting with silent prayers for things to stay the same.

[Chorus]
Repeated for emphasis, the chorus grows more urgent with each return. The lines don’t change, but the repetition strengthens the impact—her feelings aren’t fleeting; they’re recurring, unresolved, and quietly tormenting.

[Bridge]
The bridge is a direct emotional outburst masked as restraint. Lyn asserts that she loved her friend long before anyone else came along, highlighting her sense of entitlement to that connection. Yet, she reins herself in with a repeated promise not to say it aloud—though by now, her silence is deafening.

[Chorus]
This final chorus brings all the emotions to a head. The repeated motifs—death wish, lost friendship, and silent hope—circle back one last time, each line carrying more weight with the context of the previous verses.

[Outro]
The song closes with one last bite of the tongue. Lyn refuses to speak her true feelings, but the phrase “under my breath I got a death wish” lingers like a final whisper—a quiet, desperate plea to hold onto a friendship slipping through her fingers.
