Love Songs
Benjamin Ingrosso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasted in my car
Windows down and music up
Pretending you′re a star
Sometimes I wonder
What have I done to deserve you
And I say this
Without intention to hurt you
I know you only love me 'cause I keep writing you love songs
You probably wouldn′t be here if it wasn't for these love songs
Oh I bet it would be easy
Just to leave me
To let me go
I know you only love me 'cause I keep writing you love songs
Love songs babe
You look so uninterested
With every word I say
You don′t like to sleep alone
And I′m a place to stay
Used to believe
You and me had this potential
Cause I love you
You clearly love to feel special
No, no, no
I know you only love me 'cause I keep writing you love songs
You probably wouldn′t be here if it wasn't for these love songs
Oh I bet it would be easy
Just to leave me
To let me go
I know you only love me ′cause I keep writing you love songs
Love songs, yeah (Love songs, love songs)
Love songs (Love songs)
I know you only love me 'cause I keep writing you love songs
You probably wouldn′t be here if it wasn't for these love songs
Oh I bet it would be easy
Just to leave me
To let me go
I know you only love me 'cause I keep writing you love songs
Love songs
(I know you only, know you only)
(I know you only, know you only)
I know you only love me ′cause I keep writing you love songs
Love songs
The song Love Songs by Benjamin Ingrosso is a melancholic song that explores the theme of the uncertainty in romantic relationships. The opening lines of the song, “you look so damn beautiful, wasted in my car, windows down and music up, pretending you're a star” sets the tone for the entire song. It talks about the moment when the couple seems to have everything right, but the singer becomes uncertain about the future of the relationship. The line, "sometimes I wonder what have I done to deserve you, and I say this without the intention to hurt you" showcases the singer's uncertainty and his fear of losing the person he loves.
The second verse is particularly revealing about the singer's feelings. He sings about how the girl with every word he says seems uninterested; however, she doesn't like sleeping alone and uses him as a place to stay. This creates a powerful contrast between what the girl needs and the singer's own needs, leading to a feeling of insecurity within the relationship. The chorus, "I know you only love me 'cause I keep writing you love songs," suggests that the singer feels his songs are the glue that holds the relationship together. Without them, he feels the girl wouldn't be around him.
