Lyrics
I can’t help it, no I can’t help it
The singer feels unable to control their emotions or reactions.
Every time you call me I will answer anyway
The singer always responds when called, regardless of the circumstances.
There’s no one else that brings up these feelings
No one else evokes these particular emotions within the singer.
I can’t help that I still feel this way
The singer can't stop feeling a certain way, despite the situation.
Cause you’ve discarded me, broken my heart, torn me apart
The singer has been mistreated, heartbroken, and deeply hurt.
Without a doubt, you never even felt guilty
The other person appears to feel no remorse for causing pain.
And still you text me, call me, demand me to come over
Despite the hurt, the other person continues to contact the singer, demanding attention.
And that’s exactly what I’ll do over and over
The singer continues to comply with the other person's demands repeatedly.
Hey, this power that you have will bring me to my knees
The power dynamics in the relationship make the singer vulnerable and submissive.
Until I’m bruised and I’m bleeding
The impact of the relationship causes physical and emotional harm to the singer.
Hey, you know I’m not okay every time I see you go
The singer feels distressed every time the other person leaves.
And come back all on the same day
The other person returns regularly after leaving.
But I still need to hear that I’m pretty
The singer seeks validation and reassurance of their appearance.
To hear that you still want me even if it’s all a lie
The singer craves the other person's desire, even if it's insincere.
I fear one day you’ll break my heart
The singer fears further heartbreak from the other person.
I hope that day will never come
The singer hopes to avoid experiencing that feared heartbreak.
I pretend that we’re together, that you’re laying right beside me
The singer imagines being together with the other person, even when alone.
Even when I’m sleeping alone
Despite the imagination, the singer is physically alone.
I can’t help that you’re all I imagine
The other person is constantly in the singer's thoughts.
When I’m cold and I need someone to hold
The singer desires comfort and warmth, seeking it from the other person.
But I let break my walls just to be blocked by yours
The singer tries to connect but faces barriers set by the other person.
And army full of little you’s is blocking my doors
Mentally, the other person's influence obstructs the singer's path.
The only way is to chase you away
The only solution appears to be distancing from the other person.
But I’m not ready, no not today
However, the singer feels unprepared to take that step presently.
Hey, this power that you have will bring me to my knees
Reiteration of the power imbalance and its impact on the singer.
Until I’m bruised and I’m bleeding
Emphasizing the physical and emotional toll of the relationship.
Hey, you know I’m not okay every time I see you go
Repeated distress upon the other person's departure and return.
And come back all on the same day
The pattern of the other person leaving and coming back continues.
But I still need to hear that I’m pretty
Seeking validation of attractiveness and desirability.
To hear that you still want me even if it’s all a lie
Desiring to hear affection even if it's based on falsehood.
I fear one day you’ll break my heart
Reiterating the fear of heartbreak from the other person.
I hope that day will never come
Expressing hope to avoid that feared outcome.
Hey, this power that you have will bring me to my knees
Repetition of the impact of the other person's power on the singer.
Until I’m bruised and I’m bleeding
Reiterating the physical and emotional toll of the relationship.
Hey, you know I’m not okay every time I see you go
Continued distress upon the other person's departure and return.
And come back all on the same day
The pattern of departure and return persists.
But I still need to hear that I’m pretty
Desire for validation of attractiveness and desirability remains.
To hear that you still want me even if it’s all a lie
Desiring to hear affection despite its insincerity.
Cause I’d crumble into pieces when you leave me on my own
The fear of falling apart emotionally if left alone by the other person.
I hope that day will never come
Hope to avoid experiencing that emotional breakdown.
