For You
Love and Addiction: A Musical Journey of Yearning
Lyrics
I lost all of this weight for you
I made an effort to change myself for you
Or maybe it's just because of you
Alternatively, it could be because of you that I changed
I can't wait to breathe you in
Anticipation to be close to you
Since sixteen you've been under my skin
Since the age of sixteen, you've deeply affected me
So one more hit then I throw you to the ground
After one more attempt, I'm letting you go
I say farewell till another comes around
Saying goodbye until someone else comes into my life
At the end of it all it's just you and me
Ultimately, it's just you and me
Why won't you just set me free
Expressing a desire to be set free from you
I love you I love you I love you so much
Repeated conflicting emotions: love, hate, realization of harm and brokenness
I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-I love you I love you I love you so much
-I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-You crept in so harmlessly
Reflecting on the initial, seemingly harmless introduction of "you" (possibly a substance)
Thought I looked cool with you next to me
-So I put you in my pocket but not for long
-I'll be calling you again if things go wrong
-Whenever I've been on my own
When alone, the temptation resurfaces; the substance feels ingrained in the speaker's life
Been on my own that's when I find you
-Spending your life with me between my teeth
-Like you're designed to
-Nicotine nicotine all the moments in between
Metaphorical use of nicotine as a force taking away energy
Try to fight back but you've taken all my energy
-I love you I love you I love you so much
Reiteration of conflicting emotions and the destructive impact of "you"
I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-I love you I love you I love you so much
-I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-So I'm singing to you now that everybody is listening
Addressing the relationship through a song, expressing strength but acknowledging internal struggles
I wrote you a song cause I know that Imma be missing you
-I say that I'm strong but I'm really just a mess
-I'm kicking you out I'll be better off with the stress yeah
-I could never give you up
Recognition of the dependency on "you" despite its negative impact
Cause you never let me down
-Remember when things got rough
-That time I fell to the ground
-Everyone kept saying that you so bad for me
-At the same damn time they didn't have no time for me
-I love you I love you I love you so much
Repetition of emotional conflict and awareness of the harmful nature of the relationship
I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-I love you I love you I love you so much
-I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-I love you I love you I love you so much
Continued repetition of love, hate, and acknowledgment of the detrimental effects of "you"
I hate you I hate you you're nothing but a crutch
-I'm dying I'm dying I know you're killing me
-I'm broken I'm broken I'm broken can't you see
-I just wanna go back in time
Expressing a desire to go back in time with current knowledge and understanding
With everything I know now know now
-Can you take me back in time
-Cause I know where to go now go now
