Colbie Caillat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that I was wrong
When I read your letters
But I just had to know
If you still miss her

'Cause you feel far away
When I kiss you
And every word that you say

Sounds so confused

I don't wanna hold you
If you don't wanna stay

Tell me everything
Tell me every little thing
I won't run away
No matter what you say
I wanna hear your heart
Every single beat in part
The good and the bad
I swear I won't be mad

It's you I want
All of you
You
You

No matter what I'm feeling
I won't hide it
You know that you can tell me
Every secret

'Cause I'm no good at guessing
I just need to know

Tell me everything
Tell me every little thing
I won't run away
No matter what you say
I wanna hear your heart
Every single beat in part
The good and the bad
I swear I won't be mad

It's you I want
All of you
All of you
All of you
All of you

So tell me everything
Tell me every little thing
I won't run away
No matter what you say
I wanna hear your heart
Every single beat in part
The good and the bad
I swear I won't be mad

It's you I want
All of this
It's you I want
All of you
You
You

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Colbie Caillat's song “All of You” are about a woman who's experiencing confusion and insecurity in her romantic relationship, but is determined to know the truth about her partner's feelings towards her. The woman admits that she was wrong for reading her partner's letters, but she couldn’t help herself because she wanted to know if he still missed his ex-girlfriend. She feels that her partner is distant from her and that he's sending mixed signals, hence she wants him to be transparent with her and tell her everything, every little thing that's going on in his heart. The woman reassures him that she won’t be upset if he is honest with his feelings, even if it means that he doesn't want to be with her.

The message behind the song speaks volumes to anyone who has ever been in a relationship where there are doubts about compatibility, trust, or communication. It portrays that sometimes, truth is all that's needed to move forward in a relationship. It takes courage to be vulnerable and honest with one another, but it can ultimately bring two people closer together in understanding and love.

Line by Line Meaning

I know that I was wrong
I admit that I did something wrong

When I read your letters
I discovered something in your letters that caused me to question our relationship

But I just had to know
I needed to confirm my suspicions

If you still miss her
I wondered if you still had feelings for someone else

'Cause you feel far away
I sense a distance between us

When I kiss you
I feel a lack of connection when we're intimate

And every word that you say
I'm confused by your words

Sounds so confused
I can't make sense of what you're saying

I don't wanna hold you
I don't want to keep you against your will

If you don't wanna stay
If you want to leave, I understand

Tell me everything
I want to know the truth about what's going on
