Gut Punch Lyrics by Nick Jonas
[Verse 1]
I think my hair stopped growin', is that even a thing?
Haven't lost any other, but somethin' ain't the same
Maybe it's a metaphor, is it even that deep?
I think my hair stopped growin', or is it me?
I called Phil a couple times, he's probably sick of me
He said, "Go easy on yourself," but what does that even mean?
Sounds like good advice, but I just can't hear it right now
[Chorus]
Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings
How did I get so good at being mean to myself?
I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out
Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself
[Post-Chorus]
Hit me like a
Hit me like a
[Verse 2]
When the hell did I start trying to be perfect?
And people-pleasing, is it ever really worth it?
Fake-smiling just to pass the time
It's the only way I've been getting by
Looked at myself and I can't even recognize
Who I am behind those eyes, one big disguise
[Chorus]
Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings
How did I get so good at being mean to myself?
I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out
Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself
[Post-Chorus]
Hit me like a
[Bridge]
Now, what would it be like if I just tried being nice
To the person that I'm seeing in the mirror? Yeah
If I find that inner child
Haven't seen him for a while
Let him know he's doing fine
[Chorus]
Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings
How did I get so good at being mean to myself?
I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out
Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself
[Post-Chorus]
Hit me like a
Yeah-yeah, oh-oh, yeah
Hit me like a gut punch
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
