Am i dreaming?
Has she stolen my deserve
What i'm feeling?
They say the city never speaks

The lyrics to John De Sohn's "You Only Love Me" describe the disappointment and frustration of a one-sided relationship. The singer in the song wonders if they should close their eyes and dream of a love that truly reciprocates their feelings or if the person they love has simply taken advantage of their emotions. The city is described as silent, but the singer can see the truth and how it hurts. The story of their life is one of always trying to please and follow the vibe, but feeling ashamed for doing so. The chorus repeats the heartbreaking realization that the person they love only seems to want them when they are feeling down or when they can have them. The song ends with the singer walking down the street, still yearning for something more, but feeling like they are on the wrong side of life.
The lyrics to this song touch on themes of unrequited love, self-doubt, and feeling used in a relationship. The repetition of the "oh lord" line emphasizes the feelings of helplessness and resignation that come with these emotions. Despite the somber tone of the lyrics, the bass-heavy beat and lively tempo of the music give the song a danceable quality that belies its sadness. Overall, "You Only Love Me" is a thoughtful and relatable examination of the complexities of love and relationships.
