Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But these days I don't even know myself, no
I always thought I'd be with someone else
I thought I would own the way I felt, yeah
I call you but you never even answer
I tell myself I'm done with wicked games
But then I get so numb with all the laughter
Whoa, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you fuck me up
We're on the ground, we're screaming
I don't know how to make it stop
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
But I keep on coming back to you
I know my friends they give me bad advice
Like move on, get you out my mind
But don't you think I haven't even tried?
You got me cornered and my hands are tied
You got me so addicted to the drama
I tell myself I'm done with wicked games
But then I get so numb with all the laughter
That I forget about the pain
Whoa, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you fuck me up
We're on the ground, we're screaming
I don't know how to make it stop
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
But I keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you
And I guess you'll never know
All the bullshit that you put me through
And I guess you'll never know, no
Yeah, so you can cut me up and kiss me harder
You can be the pill to ease the pain
'Cause I know I'm addicted to your drama
Baby, here we go again
Whoa, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you fuck me up
We're on the ground, we're screaming
I don't know how to make it stop
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
But I keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you
Back to you
I just keep on coming back to you

I know you say you know me, know me well
You claim to understand me completely
But these days I don't even know myself, no
Recently, I have lost touch with my sense of identity
I always thought I'd be with someone else
I had previously imagined being with a different person
I thought I would own the way I felt, yeah
I believed that I had control over my own emotions
I call you but you never even answer
I attempt to contact you, but you never respond
I tell myself I'm done with wicked games
I try to convince myself to stop playing manipulative and harmful games
But then I get so numb with all the laughter
However, I become desensitized to the hurtful behavior through joking around
That I forget about the pain
And as a result, I push aside the emotional hurt I feel
Whoa, you stress me out, you kill me
You cause me excessive worry and anxiety, which greatly affects me
You drag me down, you fuck me up
You lower my self-esteem and hinder my ability to function properly
We're on the ground, we're screaming
Our relationship has metaphorically reduced us to the lowest point, with constant arguments and shouting
I don't know how to make it stop
I am unsure of how to end this cycle of toxic behavior
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
Despite the negative effects, I still have strong feelings of both affection and disgust for you
But I keep on coming back to you
Yet, I always return to you despite the harmful nature of our relationship
I know my friends they give me bad advice
My friends offer suggestions that may not necessarily be beneficial to me
Like move on, get you out my mind
They advise me to move on from you and forget about you
But don't you think I haven't even tried?
I have attempted to follow their advice but have been unsuccessful
You got me cornered and my hands are tied
You have me trapped and I am unable to escape this situation
You got me so addicted to the drama
Your actions have led me to become reliant on the constant conflict and excitement of our relationship
Because I know I'm addicted to your drama
I am aware that I am dependent on the unhealthy aspects of our relationship
Baby, here we go again
We are returning to our destructive behavior once more
And I guess you'll never know
I believe that you will never understand
All the bullshit that you put me through
The emotional strain and difficult situations you have forced me to endure
Yeah, so you can cut me up and kiss me harder
You may hurt me and then attempt to reconcile through physical affection
You can be the pill to ease the pain
You may act as a temporary distraction from the emotional pain you have caused
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you
Despite everything, I continue to return to you
