I'm Yours
Alessia Cara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some nerve you have
To break up my lonely
And tell me you want me
How dare you march into my heart
Oh how rude of you
To ruin my miserable
And tell me I'm beautiful
'Cause I wasn't looking for love no
Nobody asked you to get me attached to you
In fact you tricked me
And I wasn't trying to fall in love
But boy you pushed me
So all that I'm asking
Is that you handle me with caution
'Cause I don't give myself often
But I guess I'll try today

'Cause I've had my heart
Broken before
And I promised I would never
Let me hurt anymore
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours

I'm mad at you
For being so cute
And changing my mood
And altering my rude
What's wrong with you
You make me sick
For being so perfect
What did I do
What can I do, oh
And I wasn't trying
To melt this heart of iron
But the way you hold me
Makes the old me pass away
And I would be lying
If I said I wasn't scared to fall again
But if you promise me you'll catch me
Then it's okay

'Cause I've had my heart
Broken before
And I promised I would never
Let me hurt anymore
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours

Oh I hate that I
Spend my days just wasting time
Day dreaming 'til I see you again
I'm not used to this
Oh I used to be so used to boys just using me
For you to be you to me
Feels new to me
'Cause I usually cheer for the bad side
Love under a bad sign
So it makes me mad I'm
Falling again
Falling again

But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one
So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours
But I tore down my walls
And opened my doors
And made room for one




So baby I'm yours
Oh baby I'm yours

Line by Line Meaning

Some nerve you have
How dare you do what you did


To break up my lonely
To come and disturb my sadness


And tell me you want me
And say you have feelings for me


How dare you march into my heart
How dare you invade my feelings


Oh how rude of you
You're so impolite


To ruin my miserable
To disrupt my low-spirited state


And tell me I'm beautiful
And compliment me on my looks


'Cause I wasn't looking for love no
Because I didn't want a relationship


Nobody asked you to get me attached to you
You weren't invited to make me develop emotions for you


In fact you tricked me
You deceived me


And I wasn't trying to fall in love
I didn't intend to love anyone


But boy you pushed me
But you made me fall for you


So all that I'm asking
So what I'm requesting is


Is that you handle me with caution
That you proceed slowly and carefully with me


'Cause I don't give myself often
Because I'm not quick to give myself to others


But I guess I'll try today
But I'll give it a chance today


'Cause I've had my heart
Because my heart has been


Broken before
Damaged previously


And I promised I would never
And I swore I'd never


Let me hurt anymore
Allow myself to be hurt again


But I tore down my walls
But I removed my emotional barriers


And opened my doors
And allowed someone in


And made room for one
And made space for only one person


So baby I'm yours
So I belong to you


Oh I hate that I
Oh I despise the fact that


Spend my days just wasting time
I waste my time every day


Day dreaming 'til I see you again
Imaging until I get to see you once more


I'm not used to this
I'm not accustomed to this


Oh I used to be so used to boys just using me
I was used to guys taking advantage of me


For you to be you to me
For you to accept me for who I am


Feels new to me
It's a new experience for me


'Cause I usually cheer for the bad side
Because I usually root for the wrong people


Love under a bad sign
Love that is under undesirable circumstances


So it makes me mad I'm
So it angers me that I'm


Falling again
Falling in love again


But I tore down my walls
But I removed my emotional barriers


And opened my doors
And allowed someone in


And made room for one
And made space for only one person


So baby I'm yours
So I belong to you
