Tricky to Love
Unraveling the Complex Dance of Love: Tricky to Love by White Lies
Lyrics
My love
Expression of love
Changes with the weather
Love is influenced by external factors
And my heart
Reference to the speaker's heart
Red imitation leather
Describing the heart as fake or insincere
I'd give the world
Willingness to make significant sacrifices
But the world is never enough
The speaker's offerings are never sufficient
For a girl
Describing a girl who has everything
With it all
Recognition of the girl's abundance
I guess
Admission of difficulty in being loved
I'm just tricky to love
Self-awareness of being challenging to love
And it could be tricky to love
Reiteration of the difficulty in love
My love
Continuation of describing the speaker's love
A rush of every season
Love experiences various emotional states
But vague
Love is uncertain and unclear
As time
Reference to the fleeting nature of time
A dedicated reason
Love has a dedicated but elusive reason
I'd give the world
Reiteration of the willingness to sacrifice
But the world is never enough
Despite efforts, offerings are inadequate
For a girl
Description of a girl with abundance
With it all
Acknowledgment of the girl's possessions
I guess
Acknowledgment of the speaker's difficulty in love
I'm just tricky to love
Self-awareness of being challenging to love
I said all the right things
Claiming to say the right things at the right times
In all the right times
Assuming proper communication
You never hear me out
Feeling unheard despite efforts
I played all of your games
Stating compliance with the partner's games
In all of my life
Having played the partner's games throughout life
I feel so tricky to love
Expressing a sense of difficulty in being loved
And it could be tricky to love [x2]
Reiteration of the difficulty in love
I said all the right things
Repeating the claim of saying the right things
In all the right times
Reiterating assumed proper communication
You never hear me out
Emphasizing feeling unheard despite efforts
I played all of your games
Reiterating compliance with partner's games
In all of my life
Reiteration of having played partner's games in life
I feel so tricky to love [x2]
Repeating the sense of difficulty in being loved
And it could be tricky to love [x4]
Continued emphasis on the difficulty in love
