Mean It
Lauv Lyrics

Small talk, no conversation
We are not engaging in meaningful conversation.

That look makes me impatient
Your non-verbal cues make me frustrated and anxious.

I can't tell what you're thinkin'
I am unable to read your mind and understand what you are thinking and feeling.

Please tell me what you're thinkin'
I am requesting that you communicate your thoughts and emotions to me clearly.

Last night we were more than fine
Our previous interaction was positive and fulfilling.

Just tell me if you changed your mind
I am asking if there has been a change in your feelings or thoughts.

If you changed your mind
I am seeking clarity on whether your thoughts or feelings have changed.

'Cause I'm all, I'm all in
I am committed and invested in this relationship.

I'm callin', no answer
I am attempting to communicate with you but am not receiving a response.

But you text me when you feel like
You only reach out to me when it is convenient for you.

When it feels right to you
Your communication with me is based on your personal feelings and desires.

But I'm all, I'm all in
My commitment and investment in this relationship remains unchanged.

I'm fallin' faster
My feelings for you are becoming more intense.

But if you're looking at me
If you are hesitant or uncertain about our relationship,

With a heart of doubt
Your doubt or uncertainty is causing me emotional distress.

Don't kiss me right now
I do not want physical or emotional intimacy at this moment.

Don't tell me that you need me
I do not want to hear that you have emotional dependence on me that you may not mean.

Don't show up at my house
I do not want any surprise visits from you.

All caught up in your feelings
I do not want you to act impulsively based on your emotions.

Don't run me 'round and 'round
I do not want to be uncertain or confused about the state of our relationship.

Don't build me up just to let me down
I do not want you to make me feel optimistic about our relationship only to disappoint me.

Just to let me down, down, down (ayy)
I do not want my expectations to be unfulfilled.

Don't mess with my head
I do not want you to confuse or deceive me emotionally or mentally.

Don't tell me you're falling
I do not want you to express romantic feelings if you do not truly mean them.

With your feet still on the ledge
You are not fully committed to our relationship and this makes me feel uneasy.

I'm all out of breath
Your behavior towards me is causing me emotional distress and making it difficult for me to function normally.

Baby, don't run me 'round and 'round
I do not want a rollercoaster of emotions or uncertainty in our relationship.

On your lips, just leave it
If you do not truly mean what you say, please do not say it.

If you don't mean it
It is important that your words and actions reflect your true feelings and intentions.

You know you got me in the palm of your hand
You have control over the state of our relationship and my emotions towards you.

But I love those hands
I am still attracted to you despite the uncertainty in our relationship.

But you only let me hold you when he can't
You only seek my companionship when someone else is not available.

Yeah, I don't understand
I am confused and unclear about our relationship and your feelings towards me.

Hurry home, let's never leave the house
I want to spend more time with you without the uncertainty and doubt in our relationship.

(But you don't mean it)
Your actions and behavior are not reflective of your true feelings and intentions.

Let's stay in bed while all our friends go out
I want to prioritize our relationship and spend time alone together.

Why you let those words come out of your mouth?
I am wondering why you have expressed certain feelings or intentions if you do not truly mean them.

(If you don't mean it)
It is important that your words match your true feelings and intentions.

You've been staring at me with a heart of doubt (ah)
Your uncertainty and hesitation in our relationship is causing me emotional distress and insecurity.
