Devoted
Adrian Daniel Lyrics

Tell me baby was I good enough
Asking if his efforts to please and satisfy his partner were satisfactory enough

For you, you, you, you
Direct address to the partner, emphasizing how much he was willing to do for her

Forgave you, all my trust
Despite any past wrongdoing, he has chosen to give his wholehearted trust to his partner

Is true, girl it's true, it's true
Affirming the authenticity of the trust he's granted to his partner

You wanna be wicked things, baby
Acknowledging his partner's inclination towards negativity and mischief

I guess that's why you wanna curse my name lady
He connects his partner's negative tendencies to her desire to harm or hurt him emotionally

But I can relate to you, l swear ya be through with it
Despite the hurt and negativity, he can understand his partner's motivations and emotions and hopes to overcome them together

But that's not enough for you to come, you think I'm that foolish
Despite his willingness to work things out, the partner still thinks that he is too naive to know better

You wasted all my time babe
Feeling like his partner has taken too much of his time and effort without any equal investment and commitment

Now all my love's expired babe
As a result of the partner's inability to fully commit, he feels like his love has run out

why couldn't you see that I've given my life for you, ohh ohho
Expressing frustration that his partner has failed to appreciate the full extent of his sacrifices for her

Would have devoted my life too you, ohh ohh
Affirming that he would have willingly dedicated his whole life to the partner had the situation been different

Now you see me on your TV, ah ha
With newfound success, his partner is now exposed to his media presence through television and other means

I know your friends talking 'bout why you'd let me slip away
Acknowledging that his partner's friends may be gossiping about her apparent loss of such a devoted individual as him

I better not, you wanna miss me, mhm
Despite the temptation to pursue a reunion, he knows better than to fall into the trap of his partner's fleeting affections

I better not, you wanna love me, well sorry, no thanks
Rejecting the possibility of reigniting things with his partner for their past mistakes and unwillingness to wholly commit

in the city life is not so pretty, love is lost in the deep sea
Recognizing the harsh realities of urban life and how easy it is to lose love and connection amidst the chaos

women to the world, now you lost yourself, god damn, what a tragedy
Noting how the pressures of society may have caused his partner to forget her true self and how sad that is

I can relate too you, l swear ya be through with it
Despite all the negative experiences, he still wants to empathize with his partner and move past it all

But why'd you take my heart, but you load a gun
Expressing how his partner's inability to devote herself fully has led to him feeling vulnerable and hurt

and bang bang, right through it
Metaphorically depicting how his partner's lack of commitment has caused him deep emotional pain

noo noo noo ahho
Emphatically expressing his resolve to not return to a harmful and non-committed relationship
