Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me feeling good and obviously
Together we were so strong
I felt so nice when I walked down to the city
On the way to you away from here
Now it's spring again
I come home with a bunch of flowers
Only to stimulate my mind
Sometimes I need such a thing for confidence

I'm looking for improvements of sense
You know it's a worn out old phrase
That you don't love me anymore
I appear four times a day with a new make up
Just to hide my tears
I want to be so strong but what do you want?
I want to be so strong
But hey what do you want?
I look for compensation my vision falls to pieces
I look for satisfaction when I can't sleep at night
But I don't need a substitute
I wanna keep you on my side
Maybe lovin' you isn't the right thing to do

It might be better I go my own way please tell me
Should I go or should I stay?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Wanna Love You" by Empire Cast/Jussie Smollett/Musicfire.in describe the turmoil in a relationship where one partner is still trying to make things work, but the other seems to have lost interest. The opening lines convey the positive feelings the couple once shared - the sense of being strong together and the simple joy of being in each other's company. However, the singer soon reveals that something has changed. They mention bringing home flowers, but only to "stimulate" their mind, suggesting that they need to psyche themselves up for a conversation or confrontation with their partner.

The singer also admits to feeling insecure and unsure of themselves. They wear makeup to hide their tears and seek ways to boost their confidence. However, they also recognize that this is a worn-out phrase and that their partner may have stopped loving them. They strive to be strong, but are unsure if their efforts will be enough to save the relationship.

As the song progresses, the singer admits to looking for "compensation" and "satisfaction" when they can't sleep at night, but ultimately rejects the idea of a substitute for their partner's affection. They want to keep their partner by their side, but also question whether staying in the relationship is truly the right thing to do. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer asking whether they should stay or go.

Overall, "I Wanna Love You" speaks to the ups and downs of intimate relationships and the difficulties of navigating these complex emotions.
