Anyway
Sofia Quinn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's only cause I'm nervous
Of getting hurt again
I go out when I'm empty
Cause my bed is way to heavy
I can't sleep in it
You kiss me and I push you away
You miss and I don't know what to say
Guess I just need some time
But could
Could you love me
Could you love me anyway
Kiss
Kiss it better
Take my pain away
Cause I been through some bad shit
But I want to get past it
I run when things fall into place
But could
Could you love me
Could you love me anyway
I can't tell you how I feel
Cause sayin' it would make it real
And I can't do that yet
You know that I can't sleep when I sleep over
I can't dream of gettin' closer
Have to go a little slower
Set the bar a little lower
You need me and I push you away
I'm leaving when I just want to stay
I'm terrified of crossing that line
I still need some more time
But could
Could you love me
Could you love me anyway
Kiss
Kiss it better
Take my pain away
Cause I been through some bad shit
But I want to get past it
I run when things fall into place
But could
Could you love me
Could you love me anyway
Will you
Will you
Oh oh
Will you
Will you
Oh oh
Will you love me anyways
Will you
Will you
Oh oh
Will you
Will you
Oh oh
Will you love me anyways
The lyrics to Sofia Quinn's "Anyway" speak of a person who portrays themselves as tough but only does so because they are afraid of getting hurt again. The singer is someone who has gone through some bad experiences and struggles to trust people, which makes it difficult for them to open up to someone else. They engage in self-destructive behavior and avoid getting close to someone for fear of being hurt yet again. The persona pushes their partner away, even when they show affection, out of fear of being vulnerable.
The chorus, "kiss it better, take my pain away, cause I've been through some bad shit, but I want to get past it", perhaps is indicative of the persona's acknowledgement of their poor coping mechanisms and their desire for a healthier way to deal with their past experiences. The overall message of the song could be that though one may be broken, they are still deserving of love, and it takes time to overcome trauma.
Overall, the song "Anyway" is about a person with a guarded heart, who struggles to trust others and finds it difficult to open up in fear of being hurt once more.

I'm a bitch on the surface
I act tough and unapproachable
But it's only cause I'm nervous
But it's because I'm scared of being hurt
Of getting hurt again
Of experiencing heartbreak once more
I go out when I'm empty
I try to fill my void by going out
Cause my bed is way too heavy
Because my bed feels too empty and sad
I can't sleep in it
I have trouble sleeping alone
You kiss me and I push you away
I tend to push away people who care for me
You miss and I don't know what to say
I have trouble expressing my feelings when things get too emotional
Tell your mom but I don't tell mine
I'm not open with my own family, but I can confide in yours
Guess I just need some time
I need time to figure things out
But could
But I wonder
Could you love me
Is it possible for you to love me
Could you love me anyway
Despite all of my flaws, are you still able to love me?
Kiss
Make it all better
Kiss it better
Take away my pain
Take my pain away
Relieve my emotional burdens
Cause I been through some bad shit
Because I've experienced some difficult times
But I want to get past it
But I want to move on from my past struggles
I run when things fall into place
I tend to flee when things get too good or too easy
I can't tell you how I feel
I have trouble being honest about my emotions
Cause saying it would make it real
Because admitting my feelings would make them true and vulnerable
And I can't do that yet
And I'm not ready for that level of vulnerability
You know that I can't sleep when I sleep over
You know that I struggle with intimacy, even when we're sharing a bed
I can't dream of getting closer
I have trouble envisioning us becoming more intimate
Have to go a little slower
We need to take things slow and gradually build trust
Set the bar a little lower
Lower your expectations of me, because I have difficulty meeting them
You need me and I push you away
Even though you require emotional support, I still distance myself from you
I'm leaving when I just want to stay
Despite my desires to stay, I can't bring myself to commit
I'm terrified of crossing that line
I'm afraid of developing a deeper commitment
I still need some more time
I'm not quite ready for a serious relationship
Will you
Are you willing to
Oh oh
Uh uh
Will you love me anyways
Will you still love me despite all of my flaws and baggage?
