Allie X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half sleeping half awake
I can see you when I am lying there
All your features taking shape
All those teens say you're the toughest
I have known it from the start
I'll be honest I'll do anything
For a place there in your heart (Ooh)
I just wanna make you happy baby
I am knocking at your door
I know everybody loves you boy
I will love you more
Body language gives me clues
Tell me what you cannot say
What you're feeling when you look at me
When you look at me that way
When you told me I was special, special
I've been fixated since then
Constantly I need my fix again (Ooh)
I just wanna make you happy baby
I am knocking at your door
I know everybody loves you boy
I will love you more
You be mine it's a secret
When you look at me I can feel destiny
Yeah, I will love you more
You be mine it's a secret
When you look at me I can feel it
You be mine it's a secret
When you look at me I can feel it
You are everything to everyone
I'll be everything to you
Youll be mine
I could really make you happy babe
In the end, maybe this time destiny
Yeah, I will, love you, I will, love you, I will love you more

"hey. where'd you go? we used to be friends, we used to be close." oh. my. god. my heart just fell out of my chest from the first note. The feeling in this song hits too close to home.
Even though its been like 4 years since we truly talked and 10 years since we became friends there used to be this guy in high school that I regarded as my first love and best friend. We were never more than friends but we were so close (or so I thought) and it breaks my heart he's not in my life anymore. He just completely disappeared with no evidence that he was ever close to me except for the number in my cell phone. I say that I'm over him and that I don't care about him but in this dark time I've been going through lately all I do is sit back and wish he was beside me helping me through this.
He's married now and all I can do is see his life through bits and pieces on social media. I'm trying so hard to let him go, especially now that he's found a new life and someone better suited to share it with him , but I just can't get over the fact that he just kind of disappeared from my life a few years after high school without a word to me. Even if I couldn't love him in the way i wanted, his friendship meant the world to me and he just took that all away :( Thank you Allie for helping me let go of some of that pain with this song, it's beautiful. x

It confuses me that you make a lot of music better than most everyone in the spotlight and you're only at 30k subscribers. You deserve tremendously more with your talent. Keep going at it sistah~
