Love Me
De Van Lyrics

Love me
The singer is appealing to their partner to love them.

love me
The singer repeats their plea for love.

I am down on my knees begging please, love me
The singer is begging for love, emphasizing their desperation.

Started out slow but to fast for the naked eye
The relationship began slowly but progressed quickly.

I don´t even know when it went to fact from to lies
The artist is uncertain about when the relationship shifted from truth to falsehoods.

the first time that my fist did all the talking
The first instance of physical violence occurred.

you still found the breath to tell me that you
Despite the violence, the partner still professed their love.

Did I make you cry did I give you a guilty conscience
The artist questions if their actions caused their partner emotional pain or guilt.

that I needed help and I needed it from you
The artist required support from their partner.

did you eat it up, swallow my lies
The artist wonders if their partner believed their false promises and apologies.

fighting though my tears so you would say you
The singer was emotional and crying in hopes of hearing their partner say they love them.

broken down on the floor she will cry
The partner is depicted as emotionally broken.

with a fist smash it all hear me roar
The singer expresses their violent tendencies toward their partner.

You may find it rough that I´m judging you so harshly
The singer acknowledges that their judgment of their partner may be perceived as harsh.

but this stories textbook, there´s nothing new about it
The situation the singer is describing is common and predictable.

I know that you think things can only just get better
The artist recognizes their partner's optimism for the future.

but everybody wants to hear the words you
The artist emphasizes the importance of hearing their partner say they love them.
