Wrong for You
Unraveling Illusions: Molly Burch's 'Wrong for You' Love Dilemma
Lyrics
You told me we would dance awhile
You assured me that we would enjoy dancing together for a while.
You told me we would dance awhile, but I know
Reiteration of the promise to dance together, but there is doubt or skepticism.
That's just something you say
Suggesting that the promise of dancing might be a common or insincere statement.
You said I was the only one
You claimed that I was the only person for you.
You said I was the only one, but I know
Repeating the assertion of exclusivity, but the speaker doubts its sincerity.
You say that to all the girls
Expressing skepticism that the statement of exclusivity is used for all girls, not just the speaker.
I know that I am so very wrong for you
The speaker acknowledges that they are not the right match for the person they are involved with.
And I know that no one really belongs to you
Recognizing that nobody truly belongs to the person, indicating a lack of commitment or fidelity.
But why do I keep falling for all these things you do?
Questioning why the speaker keeps getting emotionally attached despite knowing the person's behavior.
Why am I wrong for you?
Pondering the reasons behind being perceived as incompatible or wrong for the other person.
Why am I wrong for you?
Reiteration of questioning the incompatibility and feeling wrong for the other person.
Wrong for you
Emphasizing the feeling of being wrong for the person.
You make me feel like a woman
Acknowledging the impact of the person on the speaker's sense of womanhood.
You make me want you, but I shouldn't
Expressing desire for the person despite knowing it might not be appropriate.
Why can't you be for me?
Questioning why the person cannot be the right match for the speaker.
You say my name and it feels like fire
Describing the intense effect of hearing the person say the speaker's name.
I know that this could take a while for you
Anticipating that it might take time for the person to truly understand or see the speaker.
For you to see
Waiting for the person to comprehend the speaker's feelings and connection.
I know that I am so very wrong for you
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being wrong for the person.
And I know that no one really belongs to you
Repeating the idea that nobody genuinely belongs to the person, emphasizing lack of commitment.
But why do I keep falling for all of these things you do?
Reflecting on the continued emotional attachment despite the person's actions.
Why am I wrong for you?
Questioning again why the speaker is perceived as wrong for the person.
Why am I wrong for you?
Reiteration of the confusion and questioning regarding the perceived incompatibility.
Wrong for you
Emphasizing the feeling of being wrong for the person as a conclusion.
