My Everything
Ariana Grande & The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cried enough tears to see my own reflection in them,
And then it was clear - I can't deny, I really miss him..
To think that I was wrong;
I guess you don't know what you got 'til it's gone...
Pain is just a consequence of love;
I'm saying sorry for the sake of us...

He wasn't my everything 'til we were nothing, and it's taken me a lot to say,
And now that he's gone, my heart is missing something, so it's time to push my pride away,
'Cause you are, you are, you are my everything...
You are, you are, you are my everything...

I know you're not far, but I still can't handle all the distance;
You're travelling with my heart - I hope this is a temporary feeling,
'Cause it's too much to bear
Without you, and I know sorry ain't the cure...
If I cross your mind, just know I'm yours,
'Cause what we got is worth fighting for, 'cause you are...

'Cause you weren't my everything til we were nothing, and it's taken me a lot to say;
Now that you're gone, my heart is missing something, so it's time I push my pride away...
You are, you are, you are my everything...
You are, you are, you are my everything...





You are, you are, you are...
You are, you are, you are... my everything...

Love Me Harder (feat. The Weeknd)
Ariana Grande

Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure
Take it with the pain

And if in the moment I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it

'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (love me harder)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Harder, harder, harder

I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and
Take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time

'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (I'ma love you harder) (hey)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (love me, baby) (love me harder)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)

So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (oh, whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again

'Cause if you want to keep me (hey)
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me (ooh)
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (gotta love me, baby)

'Cause if you want to keep me (hey)
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (love me harder, love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, got to love me harder (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
I'ma love you harder, hey

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Harder, harder, harder (boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me, love me, love me (just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Harder, harder, harder
