10 Things
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I forgot about love gone wrong
And where I felt I did belong
I forgot the best days of my life
And how that it's all at a price
All I got left is promises and memories
That make me ill
You know that faith can move mountains
I can't even walk over this hill
There's not much more I can do
Cut out my heart and put it on a plate for you, yeah...
That's another ten things
I don't want to hear
Ten things
Ten things I wanted to be good
Ten things
And I always do what you tell me to
And I kill myself trying
Finding it hard to respect myself
And I feel the love I had dying
I break myself into pieces for you
When I s***w myself into you
And I taste the lies on my lips
And I fall into the abyss for you, yeah...
That's another ten things
I don't want to hear
Ten things
Ten things I wanted to be good
Ten things
That's another ten things
I don't want to hear
Ten things




Ten things I wanted to be good
Ten things

Overall Meaning

Harry's song "10 Things" explores the themes of love, loss, and sacrifice. The opening lines are a reflection on forgotten moments of love and belonging, while the following lines express the pain of living with memories and promises that no longer bring comfort. The lyrics then shift to the singer's relationship with their partner, indicating that they have been killing themselves trying to please them, losing respect for themselves in the process. The imagery of breaking oneself into pieces and screwing oneself into the other person highlights the singer's intense physical and emotional investment in the relationship, but also suggests a sense of desperation.


The repeated refrain of "Ten things" serves as both a reminder and a challenge. The singer is aware of the ten things they don't want to hear, but they still feel compelled to try and be good for their partner. This highlights the tension between the singer's desire to please their partner and the cost to their self-respect and mental health.


The song is a poignant commentary on the complex dynamics of relationships and the sacrifices we make for love, even when it comes at a personal cost. It also touches on themes such as self-respect, emotional manipulation, and the struggle to find balance in our interpersonal relationships.

Except the tiara is Rowena’s Ravenclaw’s, the Cup is Helga Hufflepuff’s, the locket is Salazar Slytherin’s and the ring is Gaunt’s.

The only two that were Voldemort’s were the diary and the snake.
