Charli XCX Lyrics

Uh, da-da, ooh, your love
The singer is expressing excitement and attraction to the idea of being in love.

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know
The singer is aware of the situation she is in and has come to terms with it.

I'll always remember you
The singer acknowledges that the person she is with has impacted her despite the negative experiences.

And I know, and I know, and I know I'll always care
The singer acknowledges that her feelings toward the person will never dissipate.

Even though, even though, even though It hurts what you put me through
The singer is aware that the person has caused her pain, but she continues to hold onto them.

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on You're the one, you're the one, you're the one Who gets my head so fucked up Who makes me scream
The person in question is someone who the singer is highly emotionally attached to, even though they cause her frustration and pain.

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, yeah It's three a.m. and you are callin' (callin') You say you're sorry, but you're lonely (lonely) You know the words that got me fallin' I got to pull up, pull up Pull up, pull up Pull up, pull up right to your love
The person in question reaches out to the singer late at night, playing on the singer's emotions and vulnerable state, leading her to come back and seek comfort in their love once again.

One thousand times, the same old story (story) I hate myself, I can't control it (-trol it) Let it go, let it go, let it go My friends keep on tellin' me I just don't care
The person in question continues to hurt the singer, who feels helpless to stop her own feelings and actions, despite her friends' warnings.

I know that you're usin' me Feelin' good, feelin' good, feelin' good It's better than ecstasy You take me there I know this is bad for me
The singer is aware that the person is using her for their own benefit, but the temporary joy and euphoria she experiences with them makes it hard for her to leave.

In the beginning I thought you were amazin' And none of my friends could stop me from chasin' you I was too blind to see through all the flames, babe Now, I don't wanna care anymore
The singer reminisces about how she was originally blinded by her infatuation with the person, but now she wishes she could let go of her feelings and move on.

Yes, all the things she said to me, just a lie How could I be so dumb? I don't wanna care anymore (oh-oh-oh-oh)
The singer realizes that everything the person has told her was a lie, and she feels foolish for not seeing it earlier. She reaffirms her desire to stop caring about the person.

You're just pretty, you're not free I'm so over your vanity Oh man, I don't wanna care anymore (oh-oh-oh)
The singer acknowledges that the person is only concerned with their own looks and popularity, and she is fed up with their superficiality. She repeats her desire to move on from her feelings for the person.

No, no, no, no Go fuck yourself, don't say you're sorry (sorry) I can't believe I used to want this No more, no
The singer reaches her limit with the person's mistreatment and tells them to leave her alone. She realizes how unhealthy the situation was and is resolved to move on.

Pull up, pull up (right to your love, oh-oh) Forgive myself, now this is over (over, oh) I can't believe you had me fallin' Pull up, pull up (woah-oh-oh) Uh, uh (your love)
The singer tries to forgive herself for her past mistakes and is determined to leave the situation behind. However, she recalls the strong emotional connection she felt towards the person, making it difficult to fully move on.
