I Only Want You Cuz You're Mean
Love's Dissonance: Embracing the Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
You only want me when I leave
You are only interested in me when I decide to leave.
I gotta stay so out of reach
I need to keep myself distant and inaccessible.
Stuck in a game of hide and seek
We are caught in a game of hiding and seeking each other.
Count the days just for a week
Counting the days, perhaps anticipating a change in our relationship within a week.
Is this the way it's gonna be?
Questioning if this is the permanent nature of our relationship and if satisfaction is uncertain.
No satisfaction guaranteed?
Expressing doubt about a guaranteed satisfaction in the relationship.
Cuz when we're thirsty, well the water is sweet
Using a metaphor, suggesting that when we desire something, it may not always be as fulfilling as expected.
Get too much sun and you cut off a leaf
Highlighting that too much of a good thing can be harmful.
I wish I could love you the way you need
Expressing a desire to love in a way that meets the partner's needs.
I wanna fly you to the moon
Expressing a wish to take the partner to great heights, possibly metaphorically to the moon.
But I keep singing out of tune
Despite the desire, there's a struggle or discord in expressing love effectively.
We must be playing in the wrong key
Suggesting that something is not quite right in the relationship, as if playing the wrong musical key.
Because it's taking all my energy
Implies that the relationship is draining energy.
I won't be saying pretty please
Asserting independence and refusing to beg or plead for something.
Will not be begging on my knees
Reiterating the refusal to beg, emphasizing self-respect.
But I can go and throw away the key
Suggesting the ability to end or lock away the relationship when needed.
Next time you fucking turn around
An abrupt expression suggesting frustration or anger.
With every word I feel you pull away
Feeling emotional distance with each word spoken.
Strings that break, plans we made
Mentioning broken plans and strained connections.
Open book turns to flames
Using imagery of an open book turning to flames, possibly indicating a destructive turn in the relationship.
But it's okay
Expressing acceptance or resignation in the face of difficulties.
I only want you cuz you're mean
Admitting a desire for the partner despite their mean nature.
But now I'm old enough to see
Gaining maturity and realizing that people don't change without space for personal growth.
That no one changes with no space to breathe
Recognizing the importance of space for personal development and asking the partner to leave.
So take your space and lose my number please
Requesting the partner to take their space and not contact anymore.
