Bobby Lyrics – beabadoobee

[Verse 2]
The second verse continues to delve into Bobby's mindset at fourteen. She wishes her thoughts weren't so sad, indicating her struggle with depression or negative emotions. The mention of a "stitch on the left side of her wrist" hints at self-harm or some form of self-destructive behavior. Despite receiving love and care from others, she still dismisses it, suggesting that she's unable to see the positive aspects of her life.

[Chorus]
The second chorus repeats the idea that Bobby tends to focus on the negative aspects of her life. It reflects on her age, implying that being a teenager can be a challenging and confusing time, which might contribute to her pessimism.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, the lyrics take a more serious turn. Bobby contemplates ending her life, believing it might be better for her. However, there's a glimmer of hope as she acknowledges that if she tries to take her own life, she'll miss out on the possibility of being happy and finding someone who cares about her, represented by the line "But deep down Bobby knew she'd find someone like you." This implies that there's a chance for Bobby to find happiness in the future.

[Outro]

The mention of the "stitch on the left side of her wrist" again underscores the struggles she has faced. Bobby acknowledges that she has missed out on the positive aspects of life but still has the potential to embrace what life has to offer.
