Weakness
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics

I told you once, I swear to God I don't need you
The singer previously insisted they don't need the recipient of this song, desperately trying to distance themselves from their weakness.

And I wrote that on my heart to see the words bleed through
The singer wrote their attempt to disengage on their heart and hoped that their words of conviction would become more meaningful as they faded into their heart.

Let the fire fall as you put down your cigarette
As they slowly burn out and smolder away, the singer implores the recipient to drop their nonchalant, destructive habits out of respect for them.

You know that I always hated that shit
The artist wants the recipient to know that their pet peeves and small, annoying habits still matter and weight heavily on their mind.

You're my weakness
Despite their insistence, the artist acknowledges that they are weak for the recipient.

I seem to be trying I am but see you're used to that
The singer is putting in effort to move on, but feels like the recipient is taking them for granted.

You call when you need me, I'll hesitate and call you back
The singer will come running whenever the recipient beckons, but is learning to take their time when responding to the call.

And I'll say I'm sorry like it's overdue, and I'm over you
The artist tries to convince themselves and the recipient that they are over them, apologizing for not being better at moving on.

But I won't believe it, spill me your secrets, I'll keep them close
Despite the apologies, the artist craves intimacy and is willing to keep secrets in order to keep connected.

Wear excuses on my sleeve
The artist repeatedly uses excuses in order to hide their true feelings and desires.

Hide my heart for you to keep
The singer is keeping their heart and emotions hidden, except for the recipient, who they trust to keep it safe.

I've been fallin' for you slow, you know
The artist has been slowly but surely falling deeper in love with the recipient.

Forgot where to begin
The singer feels so far gone and invested in the recipient that they don't even know how to begin undoing their feelings.

After all of this you know, I'm in
Despite all of their struggles and reservations, the singer is still all in for the recipient.

I went out on a limb
The singer took a risk in their previous confession of disinterest, now firmly regretting ever making such a statement.

You're my weakness
After all this, the artist's final conclusion is that they are indeed weak for the recipient.

You're my weakness

You're my weakness

(You're my weakness)

(You're my weakness)

(You're my weakness)

(You're my weakness)

(You're my weakness)

(You're my weakness, ohh)
