Lyrics
Been thinking about
Contemplating or reflecting on something
What you said to me
Recalling or considering what was said
That you’d like me
Expressing that the speaker is liked by the other person
That you’d love me I’m just not the way
Acknowledging that love is desired, but the speaker feels they don't fit the expected mold
I’m supposed to be
Expressing a sense of not conforming to societal expectations
Don’t you know
Posing a question about the awareness of the speaker's ability to love better
I can love you better
Claiming the capability to love the person better than their current partner
Don’t you know
Reiterating the claim of having the potential to change for the better
I can change if I want to
Expressing a willingness to change for the sake of the relationship
More than he does
Stating the ability to love more than the current partner
More than he does
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's love surpassing the current partner's
I didn’t care until you put me there
Indicating that the speaker didn't care until the other person showed interest
I want it more than he does
Expressing a strong desire for the relationship, exceeding the current partner's commitment
Been thinking about
Reflecting again on personal identity and the desired image for the relationship
Who I need to be
Considering the necessary changes in the speaker's personality to be valued by the other person
For you to want to keep me
Desiring to be someone the other person wants to keep
I need you to keep me
Expressing a need for the other person's commitment to keep the speaker in the relationship
Don’t you think I know its like that
Acknowledging awareness of the challenging nature of the relationship
Why this ain’t love on the outside
Questioning the authenticity of love in the current relationship
Like that
Reiteration of doubts about the sincerity of the current relationship
More than he does
Reiterating the speaker's claim to love more than the current partner
More than he does
Emphasizing again the speaker's belief in surpassing the current partner's love
I didn’t care until you put me there
Reiterating that the speaker didn't care until the other person expressed interest
I want it more than he does
Expressing a strong desire for the relationship, surpassing the commitment of the current partner
