You Only Love Me 'cos You Think That I Love You
Illusions of Love: Unveiling the Deeper Layers in 'You Only Love Me'
Lyrics
You only love me ‘cos you think that I love you
You believe that my love for you is the sole reason for your love towards me.
You only say the things you think I want you to
You express words based on what you assume I desire to hear.
You only hold me when you think I want you near
You only embrace me when you sense my desire for your proximity.
You only say the things you think I want to hear
Your words are tailored to what you think I want to listen to.
You’re only with me ‘cos you think that I’m with you
Your presence with me is contingent upon your perception that I am with you.
You’re only happy ‘cos you think I’m happy too
Your happiness is linked to your belief in my contentment.
You’re only smiling just to take the pain away
You smile not out of genuine joy but to alleviate your own pain.
You’re only laughing just to make it through the day
Your laughter is a coping mechanism to navigate through the challenges of the day.
Everything that ever mattered
All that held significance in my life.
Everything that ever could
All possibilities and potentials.
All my hopes and dreams are shattered
My aspirations and wishes are shattered.
All my words misunderstood
Misunderstandings surround all my expressions and statements.
All because of you
All these consequences are a result of you.
All because of you
Attributing everything negative to your actions.
You only love me ‘cos you think that I love you
Your love towards me is conditional on the perception of my love for you.
You only say the things you think I want you to
Your words are chosen based on your assumption of my preferences.
You only hold me when you think I want you near
You hold me only when you believe I desire your closeness.
You only say the things you think I want to hear
Your expressions are tailored to what you assume I want to hear.
You only love me ‘cos you think that I love you
Similar to line 1, reiterating the conditional nature of your love.
‘Cos you think that I love you
Emphasizing that your belief in my love is the foundation of your emotions.
You think that I love you
Repetition, underscoring the importance of your perception of my love.
‘Cos you think that I love you
Repeating the idea that your love is contingent on your perception of my love.
