Like our lives depend on it
How we did get to lying, crying, always fighting
Like our lives depend on it
Oh, there you go, putting words in my mouth
It's 'bout to go down
I'm not ready yet, there's still a thread left
Give it one last go, I don't know why, just need us to try
Do or don't we find a way to get back
That thing we used to have that
Ooh, I'd need you now

How could I know, what you had hiding there
Behind those fire eyes, but I'll make it worse with my wild words

In Liam Payne's song "Depend On It," the lyrics describe a couple who used to love each other so deeply that they would do absolutely anything for one another. However, they have drifted apart and are now constantly lying, crying, and fighting like their lives depend on it. The singer of the song seems to be expressing a desire to reconcile with his partner, stating that he doesn't know why they need to try again, but they just do. The lyrics seem to reach a climax when the singer states that if they don't get back to loving, touching, kissing, and squeezing like their lives depend on it, there may not be any hope left for their relationship.
The song's lyrics are full of powerful imagery that effectively communicates the message of a once-loving relationship that has now turned toxic. The line "How we did get to lying, crying, always fighting like our lives depend on it" is especially poignant, as it suggests that the couple's unhealthy patterns of behavior have become so ingrained that they feel like a matter of life and death.
Interestingly, the song's chorus also includes references to the sexual intimacy that was once a vital part of the couple's relationship. This adds an additional layer of complexity to the song, suggesting that the emotional distance between the two partners has also impacted their physical intimacy.
