about

The single is an anthem of reclamation for when you find yourself in a toxic situation.

“Energy is about coming to your senses and realizing your worth. It’s that moment when you open your eyes and the fantasy fades, and you finally see everything for what it is and what it has been all along.”

lyrics

You think I lost myself, ‘cause I changed
But feelings never really stay the same

So why you tryna hold me back you love the past you’re in so deep
You’re in so deep

Tell me why
You decide
To say that I
Should be more like other guys
When you lie
To justify
The things you hide
Showing me to two different sides

Yeah I don’t really care ‘bout what you need
I don’t mess, I don’t mess, I don’t mess with your energy
And I don’t even like the way you speak
I don’t mess, I don’t mess, I don’t mess with your energy

Maybe if I just did what you said
Then you wouldn’t wish that I was dead

And then we’d live so happily but that’s not who I wanna be, I wanna be

Tell me why
You decide
To say that I
Should be more like other guys
When you lie
To justify
The things you hide
Showing me to two different sides

Yeah I don’t really care ‘bout what you need
I don’t mess, I don’t mess, I don’t mess with your energy
And I don’t even like the way you speak
I don’t mess, I don’t mess, I don’t mess with your energy

You love to hold me underwater
Hurt me like no other
I’m losing who I was
Now I don’t know who I’m not so
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Yeah I don’t really care ‘bout what you need
I don’t mess, I don’t mess, I don’t mess with your energy
And I don’t even like the way you speak
I don’t mess, I don’t mess, I don’t mess with your energy
