Lyrics
Who do you want me to be?
Questioning identity, seeking clarification on the expected persona.
I told you I'm not fine
Expressing emotional distress, not feeling well.
That's okay
Acknowledging the previous statement.
Cuz neither are you
Recognizing the other person's emotional state.
I'll tell you what's different this time
Introducing a change in the situation.
What's different this time?
Seeking information about the change.
And I just want you to want me too
Expressing a desire for mutual affection.
And I just want you to want me too
Repetition for emphasis on the desire for reciprocity.
And even if you don't I want you to
Expressing willingness even if the desire is not reciprocated.
Cuz I just want you to want me too and
Reiteration of the strong desire for mutual affection.
When you told me it hits different
Reflecting on the impact of a past revelation.
Maybe I should keep my distance
Considering maintaining a distance due to past experiences.
When I get too close I cut my rope I tend to lose my filter
Describing the consequences of getting too close, losing control.
Who do you want me to be?
Repeating the question about expected identity.
I'll tell you what's different this time
Recalling the change mentioned earlier.
I love you
Expressing love as part of the change.
When I get too close
Recounting negative reactions when getting emotionally close.
Get too close to you, you tell me I'm your friend
Describing a situation where closeness is perceived as friendship.
When I get too close
Detailing a scenario where emotional closeness results in rejection.
Get too close to you, you knock me down again
Highlighting repeated emotional setbacks.
And I just want you to want me too
Reiterating the desire for mutual affection.
And I just want you to want me too
Repetition emphasizing the longing for reciprocity.
And even if you don't I want you to
Expressing a willingness for affection despite potential non-reciprocation.
Cuz I just want you to want me too and
Emphasizing the strong desire for mutual affection.
I just want you to want me too
Repetition expressing the longing for reciprocity.
And I just want you to want me too
Reiteration of the desire for mutual affection.
And even if you don't I want you to
Expressing willingness despite the possibility of non-reciprocation.
Cuz I just want you to want me too and
Emphasizing the strong desire for mutual affection.
When I told you I loved you
Recalling a past confession of love.
I fucked up
Acknowledging a mistake in expressing love.
