LOVE & HATE
Jun.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can never let you go!
No matter what you put me through
you always feel like home
gotta feel the love… I wanna do bad things with you
It gets inside of you
Stabbing at the heart,
Opening at any time
I don’t know what to do
jus’t don’t know what to do
don’t know what to do… but deep inside i'm needing you
If I say I love you,
Would you say you love me too?
If I say I miss you,
Would you say you miss me too?
I just wanna to tell you, I just wanna tell
I just wanna let you know that I’m in love with you
Have you ever loved someone,
And known they don’t love you?
Have you ever wanted to cry,
And wondered what they'd do?
Have you ever looked, looked into their eyes,
And known they didn’t care?
So, never fall in my friend!
The lyrics of Jun.K's song LOVE & HATE beautifully capture the complexity of human relationships. The conflicting emotions of love and hate towards someone are often difficult to comprehend and reconcile. The first stanza conveys a sense of desperation and helplessness, even though the singer hates the person, he/she can’t let go of them due to the deep sense of comfort they provide. It's like a toxic relationship where the singer knows that the other person is bad for them, but they can’t get away. The line "I wanna do bad things with you" suggests that the relationship is quite intense and thrilling, which makes it difficult for the singer to walk away.
In the second stanza, the hurt caused by the other person is described as a deep wound that never really heals. The scars of the past pain remain, and the singer can't stop thinking about the person, hence the line "deep inside I'm needing you." The third stanza is an appeal to the person to reciprocate the singer’s feelings. The singer wants to hear that the other person loves them and misses them too. The anguish and longing that the singer feels are quite palpable here.
The final stanza is a warning to never fall in love with someone who does not love you back. The singer seems to have learned from their own experience and wants to protect the listener from making the same mistake. Overall, the lyrics of LOVE & HATE are a beautiful exploration of the emotional turmoil that comes with loving someone who may not be good for us.

I have conflicting feelings for you, both negative and positive
I can never let you go!
I cannot bring myself to end our relationship, no matter how difficult it is
No matter what you put me through
Regardless of the challenges and struggles we face in our relationship
you always feel like home
Being with you gives me comfort and familiarity
gotta feel the love… I wanna do bad things with you
Despite the conflicting emotions, I still desire to be intimate with you
It gets inside of you
The mixed emotions and confusion manifest deeply within oneself
Stabbing at the heart,
Causing emotional pain that feels physical
But the scar remains
Leaves a lasting impression on one's heart and mind
Opening at any time
Can be triggered by memories or current events at any moment
I don’t know what to do
Feeling lost and unsure of how to handle these emotions
jus’t don’t know what to do
The confusion and uncertainty persists
don’t know what to do… but deep inside i'm needing you
Despite the confusion, the desire to be with you remains strong
If I say I love you,
Expressing my true feelings for you
Would you say you love me too?
Do you feel the same way about me?
If I say I miss you,
Admitting that I feel your absence
Would you say you miss me too?
Do you feel the same emptiness without me?
I just wanna to tell you, I just wanna tell
The desire to confess my love for you is overwhelming
I just wanna let you know that I’m in love with you
My true feelings for you are that I am in love with you
Have you ever loved someone,
Have you experienced unrequited love?
And known they don’t love you?
Feeling the pain of not having those feelings reciprocated
Have you ever wanted to cry,
Feeling so deeply for someone that the emotions are overwhelming
And wondered what they'd do?
Curiosity about their response and feelings
Have you ever looked, looked into their eyes,
Directly facing the reality of their true feelings
And known they didn’t care?
Feeling the pain of apathy and indifference from someone you love
So, never fall in my friend!
Friend, do not allow yourself to fall into the trap of unrequited love
