“lovebomb” encapsulates the moments after a BPD episode where a person tries to earn forgiveness from their partner after blowing up at them. Barrett flips the term “love bombing” from a gaslighting, manipulative tactic to a real, passionate attempt to fix your relationship after an episode. During a BPD episode, a person can have intense emotions, act recklessly, and they can crave attention.

lovebomb lyrics

I don't even remember how it started
Something you said must've set me off
My words are bullets, and you're my favourite target
This isn't what I wanted, but I can't drop the gun
Mhm-mhm
Even I can't stop me
Mhm-mhm
Just so you know, I'm sorry
I'll send you lovebombs after the war
Even though I know they don't work anymore
I'll wave a white flag after the storm
I promise I've calmed down, I'm not manic like before
So you lift the rug, and I'll sweep the glass
And we can prеtend like this nevеr happened
Lovebombs after the war
Even though I know they don't work anymore
Even when I say I don't hate you
I'm trying even when I lose control
And it's unfair to pull you into my chaos
But after we're out of the trenches I love you more
Mhm-mhm
Just so you know, I'm sorry
I'll send you lovebombs after the war
Even though I know they don't work anymore
I'll wave a white flag after the storm
I promise I've calmed down, I'm not manic like before
So you wave the rug, and I'll sweep the glass
And we can pretend like this never happened
Lovebombs after the war
Even though I know they don't work anymore
Mhm-mhm
I'm so sorry
Love, uh, love, lovebombin'
Don't go, eh, ah, eh
Don't go
