In interview for Billboard, Kim said she wrote the song around the time she was touring with the American singer Troye Sivan. “I was going through a pretty bad heartbreak at that time, from being cheated on,” she says. “I would be in my room crying by myself, and then be on stage and sing these super bubblegum, sparkly songs.”

With a comparable subject-matter and production style to "Broken", the song features lyrics about heartbreak and not being able to move on even though she was seriously hurt.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I need you more than air

I see you everywhere

Nobody else compares

I don't go anywhere

[Pre-Chorus]

Before I close my eyes

I think of all the lies

Can't go to sleep at night

I've tried a million times

[Chorus]

All I do is cry about you

I don't wanna die without you

Thought that you were the exception

Took a fatal blow to my heart

I just want for you to need me

You're just gonna keep me bleeding

I don't wanna die without you

All I do is cry about you

[Verse 2]

Wish I could forget ya, like I never met ya

Said you wanna break, then you broke my heart

You left me with nothing, I feel like I'm drowning

You just let me down and I don't know why

Wish that I could say that you're dead to me

What's it gonna take to feel alive again?

I feel like I'm breaking, I keep medicating

I just can't believe that it's over now

[Bridge]

All I do is cry about you

All I do is cry

You're always in my head

Feels like I'm living dead

Remember when you said that this would never end?

[Pre-Chorus]

Before I close my eyes

I think of all the lies

Can't go to sleep at night

I've tried a million times

[Chorus]

All I do is cry about you

I don't wanna die without you

Thought that you were the exception

Took a fatal blow to my heart

I just want for you to need me

You're just gonna keep me bleeding

I don't wanna die without you

All I do is cry about you (All I do is cry about you)

[Verse 2]

Wish I could forget ya, like I never met ya

Said you wanna break, then you broke my heart

You left me with nothing, I feel like I'm drowning

You just let me down and I don't know why

Wish that I could say that you're dead to me

What's it gonna take to feel alive again?

I feel like I'm breaking, I keep medicating

I just can't believe that it's over now

[Outro]

All I do is cry about you

I don't wanna die without you

I just want for you to need me

You're just gonna keep me bleeding

I don't wanna die without you

All I do is cry about you
