I Always Hurt the One I Love
ANT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you, baby
You see, I had a love song, it was all planned out
I wrote up a storm, it was a real standout
Couldn't let my perfect ideas just go waste
Guess my time ran out, yeah
I felt like Kanye, thought I was a genius, uh
From the verses to the chorus and the part with all the adlibs
It really had a lot of meaning
I really wish that you could hear it
Now there's no point in finishing, I lost the spirit
Keep it in my drafts then one day it'll disappear, and
Well, I just wish you knew what I was feeling
Oh I, don't think you would understand
But I just wish that this song went as planned, yeah
I had a love song, it was all planned out
I wrote up a storm, it was a real standout
Couldn't let my perfect ideas just go to waste
Now I can't put it out
Lyrics in my head for days
I had something more to say
Wish you could read everything I've said
Pages go on and on 'cause you
Touch me in my spirit
Heal me with some meaning
I've been a mess for longer days
Listen to my heartstrings play, yeah
Oh I, (hey) don't think you would understand
But I just wish that this song went as planned
You see, I had a love song, it was all planned out
I wrote up a storm, it was a real standout
Couldn't let my perfect ideas just go to waste
Guess my time ran out, yeah
I had a love song, for you baby
And my ideas really stood out though (for you, baby)
But I ran out so
This is the outro, yeah
I had a love song, for you baby
And my ideas really stood out though (you, baby)
But I ran out so
This is the outro, yeah
I tried so hard but life just ain't fair sometimes, that's what I realized
I'm hoping this is just a blessing in disguise

The singer had written a love song for their crush and had put a lot of effort and emotion into it. They describe the lyrics as clever and meaningful, that could not just go to waste. However, the singer did not get a chance to share their song as they lost their inspiration and the spirit that kept them going. They wish their crush could hear the song, but they know there's no point in finishing it as they lost the drive to do so. The lyrics depict the singer's hopelessness and frustration as they are unable to express their feelings to their crush in the way they wanted to.

The lyrics "Pages go on and on 'cause you // Touch me in my spirit // Heal me with some meaning" allude to the singer's deep longing for their crush and how their emotions are heightened when they are around them. The chorus "Oh I, don't think you would understand // But I just wish that this song went as planned" reflects the singer's wishful thinking that if they could just express themselves properly, their crush would understand their feelings.
