Do You Still Love Me
Unveiling the Bittersweet Tapestry of Love: 'Do You Still Love Me' by Benji Hughes
Lyrics
There was a time when we stood in a line
Reflecting on a past time when the couple stood in line at a grocery store together.
At the grocery store waiting to pay
Describing the mundane act of waiting to pay at the grocery store.
Laughing at all of the magazine covers
Recalling laughter while looking at magazine covers featuring couples perceived as enduring.
Of lovers we thought wouldn’t break up
Realizing that the depicted couples on magazine covers, once considered unbreakable, did not last.
Now we don’t go to the store anymore
Noticing a change in the relationship dynamics where they no longer go to the store together.
And it feels like we’re on the front page
Feeling as if their relationship issues are now exposed and magnified publicly.
Of all the worst mags, I think it’s a drag
Expressing dissatisfaction with the negative attention their relationship is receiving.
And so does the girl that bags groceries
Indicating that even the grocery store employee sympathizes with their relationship struggles.
Do you still love me?
Pleading for confirmation of continued love from the partner.
I wanna know
Expressing the desire for reassurance about the enduring love in the relationship.
Do you still love me?
Repeating the inquiry about the partner's current feelings of love.
Cause I still love you
Affirming the individual's ongoing love for the partner.
I still love you
Reiterating the enduring love for the partner.
I’m sure you remember that show we got into
Recalling a shared experience of watching a specific TV show on Wednesdays.
And watched every Wednesday night
Emphasizing the regularity and commitment to watching the show together.
When it was over and sometimes before,
Highlighting that the content of the show was secondary to the shared moments afterward.
The show didn’t matter at all
Emphasizing that the essence of their connection transcended the TV show itself.
I would kiss you, you’d kiss me back
Describing the affectionate exchange of kisses between the couple after watching the show.
And sometimes I’d turn on the lights
Recalling the act of turning on lights just to see the partner reciprocate the kisses.
Just so I could see you kissing me
Expressing the desire to visually experience the intimacy of kissing in the light.
Sometimes we made out in the dark
Noting that sometimes they engaged in passionate moments even in the absence of light.
Do you still love me?
Repeating the inquiry about the enduring nature of love in the current phase of the relationship.
I wanna know
Reiterating the need for assurance regarding the continuity of love in the relationship.
Do you still love me?
Asking again if the partner's love remains unchanged.
Cause I still love you
Affirming the persistent love despite challenges and changes.
I still love you
Repeating the declaration of enduring love for emphasis.
I still love you
Reaffirming the lasting love for the partner.
I still love you
Concluding with a final affirmation of ongoing love despite uncertainties.
