SEE LOW
Josh Levi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came home smelling different
When did we start being distant, yeah
Don't turn it into a bad decision
Is it enough for me, girl
You want my time, not my feelings
You in a rush to go back to your place
You never want what you're given
It will be better

Tell me, fuck you
I never loved you
I never want you
I never trust you
So, fuck you
I wanna love you
I wanna trust you
I wanna want you

I want your mind, I need you back, babe
Carrying your love, it gave me back pains, oh
Babe, do you still want my last name
No, I never thought that it would be the same
No, this ain't over, over
And I'll be damned if I just let you go
If you ain't closer, closer
Don't entertain me

Tell me, fuck you
I never loved you
I never want you
I never trust you
So, fuck you
I wanna love you
I wanna trust you
I wanna want you
Fuck you

I'm in my head, about you (I never loved you)
Laying in this bed, about you (I never want you)
Would I be better without you (I never trust you, so, fuck you)
I'm in my head, about you (I wanna love you)

Laying in this bed, about you (I wanna trust you)
Would I be better without you (I wanna want you)

Line by Line Meaning

You came home smelling different
You returned with a changed aura about you

When did we start being distant, yeah
At what point did our emotional connection fade away

Don't turn it into a bad decision
Let's not make this situation worse than it already is

Is it enough for me, girl
Am I satisfied with what you're offering, girl

You want my time, not my feelings
You seek my presence, but not my emotional attachment

You in a rush to go back to your place
You're eager to return to your own space quickly

You never want what you're given
You never appreciate the things you receive

It will be better
Things will improve

Tell me, fuck you
Confessing anger and resentment towards you

I never loved you
I never truly had romantic feelings for you

I never want you
I never desired to be with you

I never trust you
I never had faith or confidence in you

So, fuck you
So, expressing intense displeasure towards you

I wanna love you
I desire to feel love for you

I wanna trust you
I want to have trust in you

I wanna want you
I want to have a genuine desire for you

I want your mind, I need you back, babe
I yearn for your intellectual presence, I long for your return, babe

Carrying your love, it gave me back pains, oh
The weight of your love caused me emotional distress

Babe, do you still want my last name
Darling, do you still desire to be officially connected to me

No, I never thought that it would be the same
No, I never anticipated that things would remain unchanged

No, this ain't over, over
No, this is not the end, not completely

And I'll be damned if I just let you go
I refuse to simply release you without a fight

If you ain't closer, closer
If you're not getting nearer, nearer to me

Don't entertain me
Do not lead me on or play with my emotions

I'm in my head, about you (I never loved you)
I'm consumed by thoughts of you (I never had genuine love for you)

Laying in this bed, about you (I never want you)
Lying in this bed, lost in thoughts of you (I never desired to be with you)

Would I be better without you (I never trust you, so, fuck you)
Would my life improve if I were free from you (I never had faith in you, so, expressing anger towards you)

I'm in my head, about you (I wanna love you)
I'm consumed by thoughts of you (I desire to feel love for you)

Laying in this bed, about you (I wanna trust you)
Lying in this bed, lost in thoughts of you (I want to have trust in you)

Would I be better without you (I wanna want you)
Would my life improve if I were free from you (I want to have a genuine desire for you)
