lyrics:
Last night I smoked a cigarette
My dad would have been so upset
then we got tattoos by the coast
and i stood there just like a ghost
maybe i’m an old soul trapped in a young body
maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
i’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
every single word of the conversation we just had
…
why am i like this?
...
I saw a girl crying on the train
gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
i never asked if she was OK
she just got up and walked away
it feels like looking down from the ceiling above
never in the moment, never giving enough
let’s go out and shout the words we never said
i got my mistakes on loop inside my head
…
why am i like this?
...

[@indiabradshaw]

The more I listen to this song (and I listen to this song a lot), the more I think that it's lyrically one of Orla's strongest works and an incredible depiction of anxiety as a whole. Choosing to sing "why am I like this?" over and over again is just so smart. The sound of that repeating phrase is remarkably reminiscent of the internal thought process you get stuck inside in the middle of an anxious moment - it's like she's took a feeling and perfectly crafted it into music and lyrics. I also love how she touches on every group of people in her life: her family, her friends, her acquaintances, a random girl on the train. The scope of anxiety seeping into the brain is so wide and reaches every crevice, every human interaction. It’s no wonder to me that Orla is going places with songs like this and I can't wait to see everything she does next 😊 The world neeeeeeds this kind of songwriting and I'm so glad the internet allows me to hear it

[@cron6435]

the “why i am like this” part is called repetition. its a literary device that many writers use to put emphasis on smt. i wanted to tell you because i totally agree with how u explained the mood that was used in “why am i like this”, and just wanted to help u out a bit :)

Heard this on Heartstopper and just had to search it up immediatly.

[@TheDarkAngel27]

Well darn, there was a girl crying on the train on my way home today and I didn't ask her if she was ok. I felt bad about it as I walked to my car. Now I feel worse.

Hello y'all, here's some cool lyrics to this SICK song! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3m7iKZ-nZeFqqM

[@savannahtyler.]

I need this on spotify more than I need to breathe

[@MelyssaHawes]

this song hits and hurts a lil too much i r e l a t e. constantly i always say “why am i like this” as a joke to my friends but at some point it’s not a joke and i truly fear being abnormal or being defective. 1:53 “never in the moment, never giving enough” really just like,,, HITS

[@hiagosilverio9207]

Guess this song's a reminder we're not alone. :')

[@MelyssaHawes]

Hiago Silverio it’s songs like these that are about emotions that we all feel but never truly put to song form that make me cry lmao

[@JasDavies]

holy shit you made me cry, i just found my passion for music a couple months ago and whenever i come across others who clearly have passion, and so much talent it brings up so much emotional. subscribed & about to binge watch your vids, youre amazing, never stop singing and playing. you have really inspired me

[@khublallash2566]

[@anajuliacoutinho9813]

orla has a genuine rockstar vibe she is so great i love it

[@anaidaduchen5902]

Listen to this music on heartstopper and it's perfect.

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

The best part about this is the story telling in the lyrics, the emotion in her voice, and the marriage of both of those in her facial expressions.

[@opal_skies97]
