“Toothache” Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walk me back to your house, watch me rot in his place
With your hand in my pocket and your eyes on my face
I’ll sit and pretend that I can hear what you say
I’d usually nod in agreement, but just not today

[Chorus]
Got this toothache
That won’t heal but won’t break
And it hurts, but I can never get enough

[Verse 2]

Put me down in your chair
I’ll watch you place your constraints
When I start leaning back
I’ll care to stomach the pain
You cut into my mouth
And I can’t help but taste all the moments we have
Leave me feeling the same

[Chorus]
Got this toothache
That won’t heal but won’t break
And it hurts, but I can never get enou-gh

[Bridge]
She calls sometimes when she needs someone
And she’s got no-one to pick up the phone
It ruminates and it takes its toll
Then I close my mouth and end up alone
She calls sometimes when she needs someone
And she’s got no-one to pick up the phone
It feels so wrong when I play along
But I pray the line will break
And she cries her heart out
She cries her heart out
She cries her heart out

She cries her heart out

[Chorus]
(She cries her heart out)
Got this toothache that won’t heal but won’t break
(She cries her heart out)
And it hurts, but I can never get enou-gh
(She cries her heart out)
Got this toothache that won’t heal but won’t break
(She cries her heart out)
And it hurts, but I can never get enough, no

Meaning of ‘Toothache’ Lyrics Explained

Verse 1 Meaning:
The singer is walking back to someone’s house but feels like an outsider, watching them be with someone else. The phrase “watch me rot in his place” suggests jealousy and emotional pain, as if they are being replaced. The other person seems to show mixed signals, holding their hand in his pocket but looking at him. He pretends to listen but feels too hurt to engage.

Chorus Meaning:
The “toothache” is a metaphor for emotional pain that never fully goes away but also never reaches a breaking point. It hurts, but in a way, the singer seems addicted to it, unable to let go.

Verse 2 Meaning:
The singer sits down and watches as the other person places limits on their connection. He leans back, trying to handle the emotional pain, but it’s difficult. The line about cutting into his mouth suggests a painful memory resurfacing. “Tasting the moments we have” means he is reliving past emotions, but in the end, he still feels the same—stuck in the hurt.

Chorus Meaning:
Again, the toothache represents lingering pain. It doesn’t heal, meaning the emotions never fade, but it also won’t break, meaning it never reaches a resolution. The hurt is constant, but he still can’t stop feeling it.

Bridge Meaning:
The other person only reaches out when they need support, but they have no one else to call. The singer listens, but it takes an emotional toll. Eventually, he closes his mouth, meaning he stops responding and ends up feeling alone. He knows it’s wrong to keep pretending things are okay, but he still hopes for an end to this cycle. The repeated line “she cries her heart out” shows her sadness, but also how he is stuck witnessing it without being able to change anything.

Chorus Meaning:
The chorus repeats, but this time, it’s layered with the sound of her crying, making the pain feel even stronger. The singer is still stuck in this endless cycle of hurt, unable to move on. Even though it hurts, he can’t seem to break away from it. The emotional ache lingers, just like a stubborn toothache.
