The song Pounding My Head explores the emotional toll of unrequited love, capturing the relentless ache of giving your heart to someone who won’t—or can’t—give theirs in return. The lyrics express a raw, internal struggle, as if each unanswered gesture and silent rejection echoes like a pounding in the narrator’s mind. Inspired by the frustration and vulnerability that come from trying to hold on to something one-sided, the song channels that tension into a powerful, emotional release. It’s a reflection on how love can become both a beautiful offering and a heavy burden when it's not reciprocated.

Song Lyrics:
My heart was pounding for your love, but you didn’t return it
I never thought you’d be so cold, you said that I’d have to earn it
You’ve got me pounding my head
My heart can’t take that anymore
I know you know how hard I’ve tried, I did, I did
You turned away said no goodbye, you know you did
You’ve got me pounding my head
My heart can’t take that anymore
You’ve got me pounding my head
You pick me up to let me down, I could live without it
If you don’t want to hear the news, then don’t ask me about it
Now I’m pounding my head, not my heart
My head is sore but my heart can’t take anymore
You’ve got me pounding my head
Won’t you tell me you want to be kind
Won’t you tell me that you want to be mine
Won’t you tell me you want to be kind
Won’t you tell me that you want to be mine
My heart was pounding for your love, but you didn’t return it
I never thought you’d be so cold
Now I’m pounding my head
Pounding my head
Pounding my head
