Keep on Loving You
Graham BLVD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you.
Hey, Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town.
I turn my back and you're messin' around.
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown.
I think of you every night and day.
You took my heart, then you took my pride away.
Can't break free from the the things that you do.
I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you.
Daylight, spent the night without you.
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do.
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through.
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right.
You just don't know what you was missin' last night.
I want to see your face and say forget it just from spite.
I hate myself for loving you .
Can't break free from the the things that you do.
I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you.
I hate myself for loving you.
Can't break free from the things that you do.
I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you.
I think of you every night and day.
You took my heart, then you took my pride away.
I hate myself for loving you.
Can't break free from the the things that you do.
I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you.
I hate myself for loving you.
I hate myself for loving you.
The song "I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Graham BLVD is a classic rock anthem about the struggle of being in love with someone who continually hurts you. The singer of the song is waiting for someone who promised to meet them at midnight, but is now running two hours late. She admits she's still in love with this person despite his bad behavior, saying "I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you." However, she's frustrated that this person keeps playing with her heart and feels like a fool for always forgiving him: "I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown."
The chorus of the song, "I hate myself for loving you," is a powerful declaration of the singer's inner conflict. She knows that this person isn't treating her well and has taken her heart and pride away, yet she can't seem to break free from the cycle of wanting him, running back to him, and then getting hurt again. She dreams about the love he's capable of giving her, but in reality, he continues to put her through "hell."
Overall, "I Hate Myself for Loving You" is a truthful and vulnerable portrayal of the intense emotions that come with loving someone who doesn't treat you right, and shows the difficulty of breaking free from that situation.
