Lyrics
I was just thinkin' baby
The speaker reflects on thoughts about their relationship.
About our dynamic lately
Considering recent interactions and changes in their relationship.
And
An interjection indicating a transition in thought.
In the midst I wish you'd see
The speaker desires their partner to recognize the importance of the relationship.
Just how much this means to me
Expressing the depth of emotion the relationship holds for the speaker.
I'm singin' you these words
The speaker communicates their feelings through song.
You'll hear them in due time
Assurance that the partner will eventually hear and understand these emotions.
I thought maybe for once
Hope that the partner might show vulnerability for once.
You'd be the one who cries
Wishing for the partner to display emotional distress.
Baby it's true, I still love you
Affirmation of the speaker's enduring love.
And you still have my heart
Confirmation that the partner still possesses the speaker's affection.
While your teeth sink into my arms
An imagery of the partner causing harm or pain to the speaker.
Why am I still holdin' on
Questioning why the speaker is maintaining the relationship despite difficulties.
To you
Expressing attachment and potentially a fear of letting go.
Maybe it's all I know how to do
Suggesting that holding onto the relationship might be habitual.
Ooo
Reiterating the idea that clinging to the relationship might be habitual or instinctive.
Maybe it's all I know how to do
Repetition of the sentiment regarding habitual behavior in the relationship.
This is our favorite part
Referencing a recurring positive aspect of their relationship.
Runnin' circles in the dark
Symbolizing a cyclical pattern within their relationship, possibly of conflict.
But then I pull away and see
The speaker pulling away to gain perspective and realizing the partner's deception.
That you're blind
Highlighting the partner's lack of perception.
And you're lyin'
Accusing the partner of dishonesty.
And it's killin' me inside
Expressing emotional pain caused by the partner's actions.
I'm pickin' up these pieces as memories unwind
Gathering fragments of memories while moving on from the relationship.
I bet as I'm leavin', you're probably askin' why
Anticipating the partner's confusion upon the speaker's departure.
Baby it's true, I still love you
Reiteration of the speaker's enduring love despite the impending separation.
And you still have my heart
Confirmation that the partner still holds the speaker's affection despite the situation.
While your teeth sink into my arms
Reiteration of the imagery of the partner causing harm or pain to the speaker.
Why am I still holdin' on
Questioning the reason for holding onto the relationship despite the pain.
To you
Suggesting a lack of alternative actions or coping mechanisms.
Maybe it's all I know how to do
Repetition of the idea that clinging to the relationship might be habitual.
Ooo
Reiteration of the sentiment regarding habitual behavior in the relationship.
Maybe it's all I know how to do
Repetition emphasizing the possibility of habitual behavior in the relationship.
Baby it's true, I still love you
Confirmation of the speaker's enduring love despite the difficulties.
And you still have my heart
Reconfirmation that the partner still possesses the speaker's affection.
While your teeth sink into my arms
Reiteration of the imagery of the partner causing harm or pain to the speaker.
Why am I still holdin' on
Questioning the reason for holding onto the relationship despite the pain.
To you
Suggesting a lack of alternative actions or coping mechanisms.
Maybe it's all I know how to do
Repetition emphasizing the possibility of habitual behavior in the relationship.
Ooo
Reiteration of the idea that clinging to the relationship might be habitual.
