LETTER TO U
Conflicted Love: A Tale of Addiction & Infatuation
Lyrics
I been whylin, you been crying
I have been acting recklessly, while you have been experiencing sadness
Since the day that you came back
Since the day you returned
Every day that passed, I'm on some other shit
Every passing day, I engage in different behavior
Yeah, I swear that I be on some other shit
Affirmation that the speaker often engages in unconventional actions
And you know that I know that we can't keep control
We both acknowledge that we cannot maintain control
And we both want each other, we can't love another
We both desire each other exclusively and cannot love anyone else
And it pains me just to see you stray away
It hurts to witness you moving away from me
But I got to stay away to keep me safe, yeah
I must keep my distance to ensure my safety
I'll be honest, I'm conflicted
Admitting internal conflict and honesty about feelings
Girl you got it, I'm addicted
Expressing addiction to the girl who possesses certain qualities
You got me so infatuated
Feeling intensely captivated by the person
At the same time, I'm agitated
Simultaneously experiencing attraction and irritation
The things you say so fascinating
Finding the things she says intriguing
But I can't help myself
Despite knowing she's bad for him, unable to resist
I know you're bad for me
Acknowledging the toxicity of the love relationship
This love shit really got me reaching my capacity
Love has pushed him to his limit
The fact that we can't ever work out is a tragedy
The inability to make the relationship work is a tragedy
I can't blame you for the things that got you mad at me
Understanding her anger but not blaming her for it
I seem to always lose myself cuz of my fantasy
Consistently losing oneself due to unrealistic fantasies
I just want somebody that can love me like nobody
Desiring someone who can love uniquely
Ain't nobody got me how you got me, girl you got it
Emphasizing that she has a special hold on him
Girl, you got a body that nobody can embody
Complimenting her unique physical attributes
I been whylin, you been crying
Repetition of the earlier statement about their behaviors
Since the day that you came back
Refers again to the day of her return
Every day that passed, I'm on some other shit
Continuing the pattern of engaging in different behaviors
Yeah, I swear that I be on some other shit
Affirmation of consistently behaving unconventionally
And you know that I know that we can't keep control
Acknowledgment of the lack of control in their relationship
And we both want each other, we can't love another
Reiteration of their exclusive desire for each other
And it pains me just to see you stray away
Expressing pain at witnessing her moving away
But I got to stay away to keep me safe, yeah
Reiterating the need to maintain distance for personal safety
I'll be honest, I'm conflicted
Restating internal conflict and honesty about feelings
Girl you got it, I'm addicted
Reaffirming addiction to the girl with certain qualities
You got me so infatuated
Reiterating intense captivation by the person
At the same time, I'm agitated
Simultaneously experiencing attraction and irritation (repeat of line 12)
The things you say so fascinating
Reiterating the fascination with the things she says
But I can't help myself
Despite being aware, unable to resist the attraction
