Like Hell
Love's Inferno: Echoes of Betrayal in 'Like Hell'
Lyrics
Hey you it's been a while
Addressing someone after a long time.
Since you made me smile
Expressing joy from the past when the person made the speaker happy.
I know you stepped into someone else's life
Acknowledging that the person has entered another relationship.
But can't you remember our night of the nights?
Asking if the person remembers a significant night they shared.
Now I'm still dreaming of you
Still having dreams or thoughts about the person.
It's like fire that I'm walking through
Describing the emotional intensity of the experience.
I know he's gonna touch you
Acknowledging the presence of a new person in the person's life.
And I cannot ignore
Unable to ignore the situation.
It's racing through my head
Thoughts racing in the speaker's head.
Could I have given you more?
Questioning if more could have been given in the past.
So close like never before
Expressing a sense of closeness that was never experienced before.
Can he really give you what you're longing for?
Doubting if the new person can fulfill the person's desires.
It hurts like hell
Reiterating the emotional pain experienced.
It hurts like hell
-It hurts like hell
-The way you once looked at me oh
Reflecting on how the person used to look at the speaker.
It hurts like hell
Continuing to express the emotional pain.
Do you remember the day?
Asking if the person remembers a specific day.
When you convinced me to stay
Recalling a moment when the person persuaded the speaker to stay.
I know I should have run
Regretting not leaving the person alone.
Should have left you alone
Awareness of the manipulation played by the person.
Now I'm aware that the game that you played
Understanding the wrongdoing in the past relationship.
Was so wrong
Similar to line 21, expressing the emotional pain.
So close like never before
Repeating the sense of closeness and doubt about the new person.
Can he really give you what you're longing for?
Reiterating the emotional pain.
It hurts like hell
Continuing to express the emotional pain.
It hurts like hell
-It hurts like hell
-The way you played me, betrayed me
Describing the feeling of being played and betrayed.
It hurts like hell
Summarizing the speaker's offering of love and the person's betrayal.
I gave you heaven and you gave me hell
Reiterating the exchange of heaven and hell in the relationship.
Fuck all your stories and don't try to tell
Expressing frustration and the reciprocal nature of the relationship.
You gave me heaven and I gave you hell
-Cause I gave you heaven and you gave me hell
-Hey you it's been a while
Repetition of the earlier verses, emphasizing the enduring impact of the past relationship.
Since you made me smile
-I know you stepped into someone else's life
-But can't you remember our night of the nights?
-Hey you it's been a while
-Since you made me smile
-I know you stepped into someone else's life
-But can't you remember our night of the nights?
-It hurts like hell
Reiteration of the intense emotional pain and the act of being discarded.
It hurts like hell
-It hurts like hell
-The way you threw me away oh
-It hurts like hell
Reflecting on the rejection and abandonment.
I gave you heaven
Reiterating the exchange of heaven and hell in the relationship.
You gave me hell
-I gave you heaven
-Cause I gave you heaven and you gave me hell
