All of You
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
You
You

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.

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
Tell me every little thing
Don't leave out any details
I won't run away
I promise I won't leave you, no matter what
No matter what you say
I won't judge or criticize you
I wanna hear your heart
I want to understand your feelings
Every single beat in part
Every emotion you have, I want to know
The good and the bad
I'm prepared to accept everything about you
I swear I won't be mad
I promise not to get upset with you
It's you I want
I'm in love with you
All of you
I want every part of you
No matter what I'm feeling
I won't hide my feelings from you
I won't hide it
I'll be honest with you
You know that you can tell me
I'm a safe person to confide in
Every secret
I want to know everything about you
'Cause I'm no good at guessing
I don't want to make assumptions about your thoughts or feelings
I just need to know
I need you to tell me what's going on
All of this
I want our relationship to work
You
I want you
You
I need you
You
I'm in love with you
You
I want to be with you
You
I'm committed to you
You
I love every part of you
