Lyrics
Is it too much to ask that you don’t check my phone
Desire for privacy and trust in the relationship, asking not to invade personal space by checking the phone.
Or get jealous each time that
Expressing discomfort with jealousy arising from innocent interactions or collaborations with other males in the studio.
I’m in the studio with a new guy
Feeling scrutinized and controlled regarding choices in clothing or appearance for outings.
Is it too much to ask that you don’t decide what I get to wear out
Seeking autonomy in decisions without manipulation or denial of actions.
Or pretend like you didn’t when we have a
Referencing potential conflicts ('fight') within the relationship.
Implies a disrupted word 'fight' to signify discord or disagreement.
ght
Continuation of the broken word 'fight', emphasizing discord or disagreement.
Is the bar that I’m setting too high for anybody to climb
Questioning if the expectations set are unattainable for anyone in the relationship.
Is it better if I try to be single for the rest of my life
Reflecting on the idea of staying single due to the difficulty in meeting these expectations.
But what if I wanna be loved
Expressing the desire for love despite the complexities within the relationship.
What if I wanna be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love despite challenging circumstances.
Like I don’t belong to
Questioning the sense of ownership or belonging in the romantic relationship.
The one I make love to
Challenging the emotional connection between physical intimacy and true belonging.
Yeah what if I wanna be loved
Re-emphasizing the desire for love and acceptance beyond possessive labels.
What if I wanna be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love beyond mere ownership or possession.
Like I’m still a person
Yearning to be loved for one's individuality and personal identity.
And not just a girlfriend
Desire to be recognized and valued beyond the role of just a romantic partner.
Is it too much to ask that I get to keep who I was before you
Asserting the importance of maintaining one's identity and personal history within the relationship.
Or who I decide to become
Insisting on the freedom to evolve and make personal choices in life.
Is it too much to ask that you see me for me and not what you need
Asking for acceptance and understanding based on true self, not fulfilling someone else's needs or expectations.
Or what you think might be fun
Highlighting the importance of being seen and valued for one's authenticity, not merely for entertainment.
Is the bar that I’m setting too high for anybody to climb
Reiteration of the potential difficulty for someone to meet these desired standards.
Is it better if I try to be single for the rest of my life
Reflecting on the dilemma of staying single due to the high standards set.
But what if I wanna be loved
Repeating the desire for love despite the challenges of meeting expectations.
What if I wanna be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love despite challenging circumstances.
Like I don’t belong to
Questioning ownership or belonging in the context of intimate relationships.
The one I make love to
Challenging the emotional connection between physical intimacy and true belonging.
Yeah what if I wanna be loved
Emphasizing the desire for love and acceptance beyond possessive labels.
What if I wanna be loved
Reiteration of the longing for love beyond mere ownership or possession.
Like I’m still a person
Yearning to be loved for one's individuality and personal identity.
And not just a girlfriend
Desire to be recognized and valued beyond the role of just a romantic partner.
