Lyrics

Don't know why,

Expressing uncertainty or lack of understanding about a situation or feeling.

Why I love you still

Questioning the persistence of love for someone despite challenges or changes.

Till' this day

Emphasizing the ongoing nature of the emotions mentioned in the previous line.

I tell myself that you're no good for me

Acknowledging the awareness that the person is not a positive influence or beneficial.

Of all the things you did

Reflecting on past actions or events carried out by the person in question.

I can only think of the times we smiled

Focusing on positive memories and moments of joy shared with the individual.

At the way things were

Nostalgically recalling a time when things were better or more positive.

So damn weak

Expressing emotional vulnerability or fragility in dealing with the situation.

I pretend to make love to get over you

Engaging in a form of escapism or self-deception to cope with the emotional pain.

Every night I wanna hold onto you the way I used to

Desiring to maintain a connection reminiscent of the past despite the challenges.

Every time I think I hate you but I cling onto your love

Expressing conflicting emotions of love and hate, struggling to let go of the attachment.

Don't know where to go

Feeling lost or directionless in the aftermath of the relationship.

The days go by so slow

Perceiving time as dragging on slowly, possibly indicating emotional distress.

I miss you so,

Expressing a deep longing or yearning for the person despite recognizing their negative influence.

Does my image grow when your day comes to close

Pondering the impact on self-esteem or self-image when the person is no longer present.

Do you cry, when my eyes cross your mind

Wondering if the person still feels emotional pain or sorrow when thinking about the speaker.

Do you think of the nights just you and I

Reflecting on shared intimate moments, particularly during nights together.

Ashamed that I miss you

Experiencing shame or regret for missing someone who is recognized as detrimental.

But with everything to lose

Weighing the value of the relationship against potential losses or consequences.

There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you

Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices or go to great lengths for the person.

Every night I wanna hold onto you the way I used to

Reiterating the desire to maintain a connection reminiscent of the past.

Every time I think I hate you but I cling onto your love

Revealing the internal struggle between love and hatred, yet unable to let go completely.
