Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Immature, stupid, dumb,
self-assured, difficult
irresponsible
And you don't understand
taking my little heart like a
criminal criminal
Don't understand
taking my little heart like a
criminal criminal

Don't understand
Don't understand
You're guilty
I'm seeing it in your eyes
But I love you and I don't know why

You're just that kinda guy
But I love you and I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
But I love you and I don't know why

But I love you
You're ridiculous
Walking away when I need you to stay
Unbelievable

The lyrics to Alli Simpson's "Guilty" depict a relationship between two people where the singer is caught in a cycle of loving someone who continues to hurt her. In the first verse, she lists out all of the negative qualities that the other person possesses including being immature, stupid, and irresponsible. Despite this, the other person still manages to take her heart "like a criminal." The chorus then highlights the singer's confusion as to why she still loves this person despite their actions, stating that they are guilty but she loves them regardless.
The second verse continues this theme, where the singer says that the other person is ridiculous for walking away when she needs him to stay. The chorus repeats the same sentiments as before, emphasizing the conflict between the singer's love and the other person's guilt.
Overall, "Guilty" is a song about the complicated emotions that come with loving someone who is not good for you. It speaks to the experience of feeling trapped in a cycle of loving someone who continues to hurt you, yet being unable to let go of that love.
