Lyrics

Why do I have to love you?

Questioning the necessity of love

When I'm afraid to

Expressing fear associated with love

Know the real truth of your heart

Desire to understand the genuine feelings of the other person


Why do you have to need me?

Raising a question about the need for reciprocation

Is it beastly that it all felt wrong

Wondering if the relationship felt wrong from the beginning

from the start

Suggesting that something was amiss from the start


Oh, I don't owe you anything

Declaring a lack of obligation in the relationship

Not anything, at all

Emphasizing the absence of owed favors


At least that's

Expressing a personal belief or coping mechanism

What I tell myself, that's what I tell myself,

Repeated self-reassurance as a mantra

that's what I tell myself, that's what I tell myself

-

At least that's

Reiteration of self-talk for reinforcement

What I tell myself, that's what I tell myself,

Continued repetition of self-assurance

that's what I tell myself, that's what I tell myself

-

Why couldn't anyone else see?

Questioning the perception of others in the situation

Was it just me, or was it clear

Reflecting on the possibility of personal misjudgment

you were wrong

Accusing the other person of being wrong


How will I learn to move on

Contemplating the challenge of moving forward

We're too far gone

Expressing a belief that the relationship has reached an irreparable state

but I still can't shake this bond

Acknowledging difficulty in breaking emotional ties


Oh, I don't owe you anything

Reiterating the absence of owed obligations

Not anything, at all

Emphasizing the lack of owed favors


At least that's

Reaffirming the personal coping mechanism or belief

What I tell myself, that's what I tell myself,

Repeated self-reassurance as a coping mechanism

that's what I tell myself, that's what I tell myself

-

At least that's

Reiteration of self-talk for reinforcement

What I tell myself, that's what I tell myself,

Continued repetition of self-assurance

that's what I tell myself, that's what I tell myself
