Mad
Dorothy Descalsota Lyrics

He's staring at me, I'm sitting wondering what he's thinking
The singer is puzzled by her partner who is presently gazing at her intently and is completely unaware of his thoughts.

nobody's talking, 'cause talking just turns into screaming
Both the partners are not speaking because whenever they try to communicate, they end up arguing loudly.

And now as I'm yelling over him, he yelling over me,
The conflict between the two of them escalates quickly to the point where both parties are now shouting over each other.

All that that means is neither of us are listening,
Due to the loudness of their arguments and the intensity of their emotions, neither of them could pay attention to what the other one is saying.

And what's even worse, that we don't even remember why we're fighting
The singer and her partner don't recall what the argument was about, and there is no real reason for them to be mad at each other.

So both of us are mad for nothing (fighting for),
They are aggravated with one another for no real valid reason, and this is putting a strain on their relationship.

Nothing (crying for),
They are crying in vain, as there is no justification for such intense emotions.

But we won't let it go for nothing (don't let for),
Even though there is no reason for them to be angry with one another, they refuse to let go of their anger and make amends.

It should be nothing To a love like what we got oh, baby
The singer believes that their love should supersede all of their pointless battles.

I know sometimes it's gonna rain, But baby, can we make up now
The singer understands that disagreements are inevitable, but she hopes that they can settle their differences promptly and reconcile.

Boy I don't wanna go to bed mad at you And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me
The singer does not wish to end the day on a sour note and wants their relationship to be on good terms as they lie down to sleep.

And it gets me upset girl when you're constantly accusing (asking questions like you already know)
The singer gets irritated when her partner questions her all the time, as if he already knows the answers.

We're fighting this war, baby, when both of us are losing (this ain't the way that love is supposed to go. What happened to working it out?)
The singer realizes that their constant battles are damaging their relationship, causing them both to suffer and lose out on building a healthy and happy relationship.

We fall into this place where you ain't backing down, and I ain't backing down, So what the hell do we do now?
Whenever the singer and her partner argue, neither of them is willing to give up or back down, and they don't know what they can do to resolve the issue.

It's all for nothing (fighting for) Nothing (crying for), Nothing...(ooh, h) We won't let it go for nothing (don't let for), Nothing.
The singer reiterates that their arguments are trivial and emotional responses to nothing substantial, but even then, they refuse to release the anger they harbor towards each other.

Oh, baby, this love ain't gon' be perfect (perfect, perfect oh, no)
The singer knows that their relationship isn't going to be ideal all of the time, and they will inevitably have to tackle difficulties to keep their relationship healthy.

And just how good it's gonna be We can fuss and we can fight Long as everything is alright Between us before we go to sleep...
The singer knows that they will still go through disagreements, but if they can make things right between them, then they can still have a happy and fulfilling relationship.

Baby we're gonna be... Happy... Oh, ...oh,
The singer believes that they will be able to cultivate happiness in their relationship if they can learn to work through their differences.
