D.N.A Lyrics by Knox, reflects on the emotional aftermath of a breakup, with the artist struggling to move on while their ex seems to be doing just fine. They’re haunted by memories and feel lost without the other person, admitting to unhealthy coping habits and emotional turmoil. Despite the brave face they try to put on, they’re deeply affected and not ready to talk about it. The recurring message is: “Don’t ask if I’m okay,” because the truth is—they’re not.

D.N.A Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look at you go
Makin’ moving on look easy, not me
I’m afraid to leave home
Terrified that you might see me
That you don’t need me now
Hell’s a smile on your face without me
I’m worse off than back when you found me
Don’t ask about me, I don’t wanna have to lie
[Chorus]
‘Cause I spent my summer high
I’ve spent like every night so off of my face
You’re still in my DNA
So do not ask, do not ask if I’m alright
‘Cause you’re everywhere I hide inside of my brain
You’re still in my DNA
So do not ask, do not ask if I’m okay
[Verse 2]
When you know I’m not
You’re the one who left me in the parking lot
You’re one who’s living like your life ain’t stopped
And I’m the one who’s been living with all I’ve lost
Hell’s a smile on your face without me
I’m worse off than back when you found me
Don’t ask about me
I don’t wanna say I’m fine
[Chorus]
‘Cause I spent my summer high
I’ve spent like every night so off of my face
You’re still in my DNA
So do not ask, do not ask if I’m alright
‘Cause you’re everywhere I hide inside of my brain
You’re still in my DNA
So do not ask, do not ask if I’m okay
[Bridge]
So do not ask if I miss you
‘Cause I might have to tell the truth
I can’t shake the fact you’re all I had to lose
So do not ask if I miss you
‘Cause I might have to tell the truth
I can’t shake the fact you’re all I had to lose
[Chorus]
So I spent my summer high
I’ve spent like every night so off of my face
You’re still in my DNA
So do not ask, do not ask if I’m alright
‘Cause you’re everywhere I hide inside of my brain
You’re still in my DNA
So do not ask, do not ask if I’m okay
