A Roman Love I
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard that you're fine
That's what you tell me all the time
I don't know if I'm fine
But I'm happy if you're happy and I save my wishes for you sometimes
(Like all the time)
And I think maybe I'm in love with my friend, I shouldn't be anymore
It's funny and it's cute until I'm crying on my knees on the floor
And I can't believe I turned out a cliché
I'm feeling mushy all the time like bad paper mâché
I still
I still
I still love you though
I still love you though
But should I
Should I
Shit I don't really know
I don't really know
I swear when we danced this thread got all tangled
We tripped and fell into a dream and made a home
But I'm still bound and you are pulling the rope
I doubt you're trying but it is invisible
I wonder if you think about it sometimes
And what you did when you had me
(And what you did when you had me)
I wonder if you ever miss me sometimes
And what you did when you had me
(And what you did when you had me)
I still
I still
I still love you though
I still love you though
But should I
Should I
Shit I don't really know
I don't really know
But sometimes I can't take this anymore
You left claw marks, I want more
Guess they went deeper than we thought
And I know it hurts me
So what am I supposed to do
It's all fun and games
"Oh, we're just playing," "we're adults"
Until we switch up the lanes
But, I still
I still love you




I still, I still, I still
I still love you

Overall Meaning

In "I Breathe You In," the lyrics capture the complex emotional landscape of unrequited love and the struggle between friendship and romantic feelings. The singer begins by recounting a conversation where a friend states they are "fine," but the singer questions their own emotional state. They express happiness for their friend's well-being, even while internally grappling with feelings of discontent. This juxtaposition highlights a common scenario in deep friendships—feeling disconnected while wanting the other person to thrive, leading to a sense of isolation. The “wishes” saved for the friend suggest an astute awareness of unexpressed feelings and desires that remain unfulfilled. The phrase “Like all the time” adds a layer of urgency, indicating that these feelings are not fleeting but persistent.


As the lyrics progress, the singer comes face-to-face with the painful realization of being in love with a friend. The innocence of shared moments turns bittersweet as the singer experiences a tragic irony—what starts as light-hearted affection shifts to moments of intense vulnerability. Crying on the floor epitomizes a profound emotional breakdown, a stark contrast to previous assurances of being “fine.” The metaphor of feeling "mushy" like "bad paper mâché" depicts a lack of stability and strength in their feelings, suggesting that the love felt is both delicate and messy. This emotional turmoil leads to a recurring refrain of uncertainty, encapsulated by the questions surrounding the legitimacy of their feelings. They grapple with the dichotomy of love and friendship, realizing the deep connection feels almost cliché, yet it is very real and deeply affecting.


The singer reflects on the shared experiences that once felt enchanting—“we danced this thread got all tangled”—evoking imagery of intimacy and the complexity that love brings. The metaphor of tripping into a dream suggests both the blissful nature of their interactions and the unexpected entanglements of feelings that ensue. As they acknowledge being bound and pulled in different directions, there’s a sense of longing paired with frustration. The singer wonders if the friend shares these thoughts, questioning if there is a mutual recognition of their emotional bond and if it is missed on both sides. The repetition of "what you did when you had me" evokes nostalgia and potentially regret, hinting at past moments that may have contributed to the current emotional complexity.


In the final verses, the singer confronts the painful consequences of their feelings, comparing the emotional aftermath to "claw marks," symbolizing the scars left behind by love. This added layer implies that the emotional pain may run deeper than initially perceived, challenging the singer to consider what they truly want from this relationship. They reflect on how surface-level interactions can quickly deepen into something more complicated. This realization evokes a sense of frustration, as suggested in the lines about playing games and the eventual shift when feelings become serious. The insistence of “I still love you” throughout the lyrics serves as a heart-wrenching reminder of the unshakeable nature of their emotions, even in the face of confusion and pain. Ultimately, the song encapsulates the struggle of wanting more from a relationship while navigating the boundaries of friendship, portraying a profound exploration of love’s intricacies.
