Fun fact: The creepy love interest in the video is actually her brother.
She wrote about this song:
"I think falling in love is scary because you become so vulnerable. You feel like you can’t control yourself. When you are so happy and confident and good you feel like you’re unbreakable. Then someone comes along and you’re like, ‘Shit, now I have to feel vulnerable again and go through this whole cycle of emotions.’ It’s stressful! I think people keep putting themselves out there after they’ve had their heartbroken because they hope it will be different the next time. And a lot of the time it is and it’s great. Eventually it has to be. I’m sure you’re going to find someone. But sometimes it takes two people, or ten people, to figure it out. We just keep going. It’s like when you’re gambling and you think the next one will be the right one, and then you lose all your money. That’s just how it is. But it’s good to have hope. I don’t think we should always be miserable. I’m really stubborn, but I’m vulnerable just like everyone else. That heart of iron has to melt at some point. You can’t keep your guard up all the time. ''Cause I usually cheer for the bad side'' is a a metaphor for always going for the wrong people—the people that don’t love me. I still love them and cheer for them anyway because I’m vulnerable like that. Sebastian came up with the “Love under a bad sign part.” I didn’t know what it meant. But it’s the name of an old song. I don’t know if it has to do with Zodiac signs or what but it’s an old love song that has to do with similar themes and it rhymes so I was like ‘Okay cool, let’s put that in!’ ''
I'm Yours
Alessia Cara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of "I'm Yours" by Alessia Cara express a sense of unexpected vulnerability and hesitation in a new relationship. The song starts off with the singer feeling content in her loneliness and wishing to avoid attachment. However, her partner unexpectedly confesses their feelings for her, and she finds herself opening up her heart despite her previous fears of getting hurt. This sudden change in emotion is confusing and overwhelming for her, but she decides to take a chance on love anyway.
The chorus repeats the phrase "But I tore down my walls and opened my doors and made room for one, so baby I'm yours," which reinforces the idea of the singer's decision to let go of her previous emotional barriers and take a risk on this relationship. Despite her fears, she is willing to commit to the person making her feel increasingly vulnerable.
Overall, "I'm Yours" is a song that speaks to the uncertainty and confusion that can come with falling in love. However, it also emphasizes the willingness to take leaps of faith and be open to new experiences, even if they are initially uncomfortable or scary.
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
