About This Track

'dependent' by Mae Muller is a 2020 pop track on the album 'no one else, not even you'. The lyrics frame a flirtatious, attachment-heavy pull, with the narrator trying to run away while admitting the other person is “under my skin”. The song keeps turning on whether the feelings are mutual, worrying at misunderstanding and lingering on affectionate details. It’s a mid-approach romantic check-in dressed as a confession, built around the tension between wanting closeness and fearing it might not be returned.

"dependent" is a track by Mae Muller, from the album no one else, not even you, released 6th November 2020. The track is 2:50 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Mae Muller.

Lyrics

dependent

I think it's happenin', I tried to run away
But you're under my skin, like I'm under your covers, babe
And it feels really good, just like I thought it would
But do you feel the same? Don't wanna be misunderstood

Baby, I've been thinking 'bout us lately
You're cute and always treat me like a lady
I'm fallin' for you and I think I hate it
'Cause I

Don't wanna be dependent (ooh)
But I know this ended (uh-huh)
Would really fuck me up, yeah
I know I will be affected (oh, no)
'Cause all my independence (uh-huh)
Is hangin' by a thread and (oh, no)
I'm feelin' kinda scared because I never had it better, no (oh no)

Ooh-ooh, looks like I've fallen in love
Ooh-ooh, but I don't wanna give up
My independence (ooh)
Is hangin' by a thread and (uh-huh)
I'm feelin' really scared because I never had it better, no (oh no)

I stay round every night
We talk until it's light
And that ain't like me but with you, oh it just feels so right
I know there's been boys before, but can I add?
I never cared about somebody this bad

Oh baby, I've been thinking 'bout us lately
I'm talking 'bout you, my friends think I'm crazy
I'm fallin' for you and I think I hate it
'Cause I

Don't wanna be dependent (ooh)
But I know this ended (uh-huh)
Would really fuck me up, yeah
I know I will be affected (oh, no)
'Cause all my independence (uh-huh)
Is hangin' by a thread and (oh, no)
I'm feelin' kinda scared because I never had it better, no (oh no)

Ooh-ooh, looks like I've fallen in love
Ooh-ooh, but I don't wanna give up
My independence (ooh)
Is hangin' by a thread and (uh-huh)
I'm feelin' really scared because I never had it better, no (oh no)

Have I just lost my mind?
Why do I overthink all of the time?
'Cause everything is good, it's great, it's fine
But I just get so worried, baby I

Don't wanna be dependent (ooh)
But I know this ended (uh-huh)
Would really fuck me up, yeah
I know I will be affected (oh, no)
'Cause all my independence (uh-huh)
Is hangin' by a thread and (oh, no)
I'm feelin' kinda scared because I never had it better, no (oh no)

Ooh-ooh, looks like I've fallen in love
Ooh-ooh, but I don't wanna give up
My independence (ooh)
Is hangin' by a thread and (uh-huh)
I'm feelin' really scared because I never had it better, no (oh no)
