My Everything
J.Howell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Iโm trying so hard to leave
But you steady lying
Making it hard for me
Ainโt nobody gone take me up
Canโt nobody break me like you baby
Ainโt nobody else got my heart
Canโt nobody complete it like you baby
When you say you love me,
Is it Just to hold on to me?
Donโt say you love me
Just to hold on to me
I'm fighting I'm fighting
Iโm fighting with you for me
But I'm tired of fighting
When Iโm not the enemy
Ainโt nobody gone take me up
Canโt nobody break me like you baby
Ainโt nobody else got my heart
Canโt nobody complete it like you baby
When you say you love me,
Is it just to hold on to me?
Donโt say you love me
Just to hold on to me
I had to let down these walls
Got my emotions involved
I couldnโt color my flaws
That shit ainโt easy at all
Ainโt nobody gone take me up,
Canโt nobody break me like you baby
Ainโt nobody else got my heart
Canโt nobody complete it like you baby
When you say you love me,
Just to hold on to me
Donโt say you love me
Just to hold on
Just to hold on
In J.Howell's song "My Everything", the singer is expressing their struggle in leaving a relationship where their partner continually lies to them. The singer is fighting to leave, but at the same time, they find it challenging to do so, because their partner has their heart, and no one can break them like this person can. It appears that the partner is holding on to the singer by saying that they love them, hence creating a sense of dependency on them. The singer seems to have had enough of fighting for a relationship where they are not the enemy. They have had to let down their emotional walls and confront their flaws, but still find it hard to get out of the relationship.
Throughout the song, the use of repetition emphasizes the singer's inability to leave the relationship despite their efforts. The lyrics "Iโm trying, Iโm trying, Iโm trying so hard to leave" and "I'm fighting, I'm fighting, I'm fighting with you for me" demonstrate the singer's prolonged efforts to escape their toxic relationship.
The theme of the song is relatable to many people who have gone through emotionally abusive situations where they are dependent on their partners. The song speaks to toxic relationships that are hard to leave and the damaging effect they have on one's life.
