Get Down on Your Knees and Tell Me You Love Me
All Time Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When did lust for you become an organized crime?
I tried to keep you honest, babe, but I was just a pawn
You played the part so well, it hurts to know you're gone
Did you mean it? Could you feel it when you broke into my head?
Did you fake it just to break another stranger in your bed?
Was it worth it? Was it perfect when you up and left me cynical?
Just a no good, two-bit, filthy, rotten criminal.
Let me count the ways; I six, seven, ate my words
Right from the silver plate, we checked in, checked out, checkmate
I couldn't keep you honest, babe, 'cause I was just a card you played
We draw so well, it hurts to know you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
Did you mean it? Could you feel it when you broke into my head?
Did you fake it just to break another stranger in your bed?
Was it worth it? Was it perfect when you up and left me cynical?
Like you planned it, you're a bandit.
Just a no good, two-bit, filthy, rotten criminal.
Did you mean it? Could you feel it when you broke into my head?
Did you fake it just to break another stranger in your bed?
Was it worth it? Was it perfect when you up and left me cynical?
Like you planned it, you're a bandit.
Just a no good, two-bit, filthy, rotten criminal.
Did you mean it? Could you feel it when you broke into my head?
(I couldn't keep you honest, babe)
Did you fake it just to break another stranger in your bed?
('Cause I was just a pawn you played)
Was it worth it? Was it perfect when you up and left me cynical?
(I couldn't keep you honest, babe)
Like you planned it, you're a bandit.
Just a no good, two-bit, filthy, rotten criminal.
The lyrics of Me Without You by All Time Low convey a feeling of betrayal and hurt after being played for a fool. The singer seems to have fallen victim to the lover's schemes as they wonder how the lust they had for them slowly became an organized crime against them. The singer attempted to maintain honesty in the relationship, but they were just a pawn in their lover's game, who played their part so well that it hurts the singer to know that they are gone.
The questions asked by the singer are desperate and direct, demanding answers for their pain. They are curious as to whether or not their love was genuine or just an act, only there to lead them on and break their heart once again. They are left feeling cynical and robbed by their ex-lover, who has become nothing more than a criminal in their eyes. The second verse emphasizes the fact that the singer tried everything they could do to keep the relationship going, but in the end, they were still left alone, drawing so well that it hurts to know they're gone.
Overall, Me Without You conveys a sense of heartbreak and loss. It captures the feelings of betrayal and mistrust that come with falling in love with someone who uses you for their own gain. The lyrics paint a picture of a lover who thought they had found the one but were instead used and discarded.
