Love Letter
Dev Feat. Cataracs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She been really stumbling, oh, she been really struggling
Dropping off the ball when she know she need em all
Losing all my digits while I'm on another call
While you been getting fucked up, I been writing this
Running in and out of club, while I been downing shit
Giving all the guys your numb, what the fuck is this
By the end you come home, just like this
You're just wasting your life away
Sitting here doing nothing and drinking all day
You think you're special or something
I can change you around
Any day of the week
Just remember that
You've been bringing me all the bad memories of when I lived in hell
I can't, I can't even think about it without feeling unwell
Yet you, yet you've found a way back into my home
Yet you, yet you've found a way to live inside my dome
Money is my royalty cause you know that shit loving me
I've been really hustling, no I've been really doubling
Drop another track when I need another rack
Racking up them digits while you take a double step
While you've been getting ready, oh I've been overthinking
Thinking about a place we'll go and you're over drinking
How did I get stuck with you? You got no commitment
You've been so distant, so inconsistent
Yet I think I found my way, yet I think I found my way
You've been saying that you've been running around with heartbreak
Thank you God, thank you for, fucks sake
You've been saying you've been thinking it's a mistake
Hold up bitch, hold up what you say
Running through my mind all day
Guess it's time to put the devil back in bae
You've been bringing me all the bad memories of when I lived in hell
I can't, I can't even think about it without feeling unwell
Yet you, yet you've found a way back into my home
Yet you, yet you've found a way to live inside my dome
In the lyrics to Dev Feat. Cataracs's song "Love Letter," the artist expresses a deep sense of betrayal and disappointment in a tumultuous relationship. The theme of prioritizing money over loyalty sets the tone for the harsh realities of the situation.

This lack of love is highlighted by the struggles and stumbling the person is going through, suggesting a chaotic and unbalanced dynamic in the relationship.
The lyrics reveal a sense of frustration as the singer contrasts their own dedication and hard work with the other person's reckless behavior. While the singer is focused on writing music and working diligently, the other person is described as getting "fucked up" and being inconsistent in their actions. The disparity in priorities and commitments leads to a sense of disillusionment on the singer's part, as they question the other person's motives and their own place in the relationship.
The reference to bad memories and living in hell indicates a painful past that continues to haunt the singer. Despite their efforts to move forward and find a way out of that darkness, the other person seems to persist in causing emotional turmoil. The lyrics suggest a struggle to break free from the cycle of hurt and disappointment, as the other person's presence continues to linger and impact the singer's mental state.
Overall, the lyrics convey a complex mix of emotions, including anger, despair, and a sense of resignation. The singer grapples with the toxic dynamic of the relationship, trying to make sense of their own feelings while also confronting the toxic influence of the other person.

Hey, what do you think you're doing
Questioning your actions and behavior
You're just wasting your life away
You're squandering your life
Sitting here doing nothing and drinking all day
Just idling and drinking excessively
You think you're special or something
Believing you're unique or extraordinary
I can change you around
I can turn things around for you
Any day of the week
At any given time
Just remember that
Keep in mind
You've been bringing me all the bad memories of when I lived in hell
You're triggering painful memories of my past struggles
I can't, I can't even think about it without feeling unwell
It's difficult for me to even think about it without getting sick
Yet you, yet you've found a way back into my home
But still, you managed to find a way back into my life
Yet you, yet you've found a way to live inside my dome
However, you've managed to infiltrate my thoughts and mind
Money is my royalty cause you know that shit loving me
I value money highly because it's something that seems to care for me
I've been really hustling, no I've been really doubling
I've been working hard, in fact, I've been doubling my efforts
Drop another track when I need another rack
Releasing new music when I need more money
Racking up them digits while you take a double step
Making money while you're falling behind
While you've been getting ready, oh I've been overthinking
While you've been preparing, I've been excessively worrying
Thinking about a place we'll go and you're over drinking
I'm planning our future, while you're excessively consuming alcohol
How did I get stuck with you? You got no commitment
Wondering why I'm with you, as you lack dedication
You've been so distant, so inconsistent
You've been distant and unreliable
Yet I think I found my way, yet I think I found my way
I believe I've figured things out
You've been saying that you've been running around with heartbreak
Claiming to be searching for love but only finding heartache
Thank you God, thank you for, fucks sake
Expressing gratitude or exasperation with the situation
You've been saying you've been thinking it's a mistake
Admitting that you think you're making a wrong decision
Hold up bitch, hold up what you say
Wait a minute, what are you saying?
Running through my mind all day
Always on my mind
Guess it's time to put the devil back in bae
Perhaps it's time to return the negativity into love
