Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unless you really mean it
I been thinking about you all night
It's fucking with my feelings
Love is never easy
It'll pass you by
This time it took me by surprise
You put me through some shit Don't think that I'll ever forget
What you told me
That you love me
Baby I hope you know
It was you
Baby I hope you know
It's nothing new
And despite of all the bullshit
And the things you put me through
I hope you know
All the shit I gave you
Girl you can keep it
Fighting with me
Now you're fighting with my demons
If it was up to me
I would just go
But something about you has taken control
You put me through some shit
Don't think that I'll ever forget
What you told me
That you love me
Baby I hope you know
It was you
Baby I hope you know
It's nothing new
And despite of all the bullshit And the things you put me through
I hope you know
Tell me things you've never told anyone before
All your secrets remain safe with me
I'll never tell a soul
Late nights in your bedroom
When we stayed inside your house
I was fallin' in love every night
I couldn't help myself
Baby I hope you know
It was you
Baby I hope you know
