Discover the story of the song > Sentimental – Social House

The song is about the protagonist being in love with someone who is causing him pain. He is addicted to the "bittersweet defiance" of this person and can't stop thinking about her, even though she lies to him and plays him for a fool. The protagonist tries to keep his feelings hidden and not be too emotional, but he keeps falling for her and getting hurt when she leaves. He knows that he shouldn't be sentimental about their relationship because it's not good for him, but it's hard to pretend otherwise when she's all he needs.
