Discover the story of the song > Deathly – Aimee Mann

The protagonist is singing about someone she has just met and is attracted to. She wonders if it would be a good idea to never see this person again because being with him could be too expensive in terms of her pride. She feels like she is just a problem for him to solve and that he will eventually leave her. She asks him to do her a favor and leave her if she ever becomes uncertain about their relationship. She doesn't want him to pick on her or make her feel worse because she already has enough problems. She believes that one act of kindness can be more powerful than anything negative. This song is about the protagonist's fear of being hurt or rejected, and her desire for kindness and understanding in her relationship.
