If I Lost You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see it in my eyes?
That's why I never mind
When you tell me all those lies
I know you got a problem
But you do the best you can
So I never mind
No, I try to understand
It makes no difference what you do
They always find you
Watch as they fall to your feet
Oh, if you only knew
All the little things that they do for you
You know you drive them crazy, baby
But you never care
You look in their face
Like they weren't there
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
This strange situation that I'm going through
I feel so high every time I take a look at you
Get out of my brain
Because you drive me insane
It's a strange situation that you find me in
I've began watching you, calling you, hanging out
I'll dial again
Oh, won't you tell me what to do?
Because I'm so in need of you
Oh, what a fallen star
I really like the way that you drive your car
You know it drives me crazy, baby, when you drive so fast
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
Look what you made me do
This strange situation that I'm going through
I feel so high every time I take a look at you
Get out of my brain
Because you drive me insane
Oh, won't you watch me as I bleed
Because I'm in so desperate need
Oh, what a fallen star
I really like the way that you drive your car
You know it drives me crazy, baby, when you drive so fast
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
Look what you made me do for you
It makes no difference what you do
They always find you
Watch as they fall to your feet
Take what you want to take
They'll even let you break what you want to break
You know you drive them crazy, baby
But they're not upset
Do what you want
They'll just forget
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
This strange situation that I'm going through
I feel so high every time I take a look at you
Get out of my brain
Because you drive me insane
It's a strange situation that you find me in
I've began watching you, calling you, hanging out
I'll dial again
Oh, won't you tell me what to do?
Because I'm so in need of you
Oh, what a fallen star
I really like the way that you drive your car
You know it drives me crazy, baby, when you drive so fast
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
Look what you made me do
Oh, what a fallen star
I really like the way that you drive your car
You know it drives me crazy, baby, when you drive so fast
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
Look what you made me do
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
For you
As I recall
I'd never fall for you
The song "If I Lost You" by King Britt and Michelle Shaprow is about being in a complicated relationship with someone who has a problem but the singer is still deeply in love with them. Despite the lies they tell and the problems they have, the singer understands and tries to be there for them. The song talks about the power the person holds over others and how they drive people crazy with their actions, but they don't seem to care about it. The last part of the song speaks about the singer being in desperate need of the person, despite the hurt they have caused.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in various ways, including being in a love-hate relationship or being in love with someone who has addiction issues. The lines "You know you drive them crazy, baby. But you never care" hints at the person’s oblivious nature towards realising the impact of their actions on the people around them.
Overall, "If I Lost You" is an emotional and honest portrayal of being in love with someone who is not perfect but still being willing to support them through that journey.
