You And Me
Love? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And because you were there
I fooled myself into thinking
In thinking you could care
That's when you looked right through me
And I believed all of your lies
When the only part of me that you could love
Was your reflection in my eyes
When you look in the mirror
You see what you want to see
When you look in the mirror
You look through me
You sure like to talk about yourself
And everything you do
But when you talk about someone else
It's how it pertains to you
You were so transparent
Why wasn't I able to see
Until you looked right through
And stripped a part of me
When you look in the mirror
You see what you want to see
When you look in the mirror
You look through me
You looked right through me
As though I wasn't there
In love with your own image
Completely unaware
'cause boys who look right through me
And only like me for what I do
Next time I'll be more careful
Next time I'll look through you
When you look in the mirror
You see what you want to see
When you look in the mirror
You look through me
The lyrics of Love?'s song "You And Me" talks about the experience of falling in love with someone who only loves themselves and uses others for their own self-gratification. The singer admits to being fooled into thinking that this person cared for them, but in reality, they were only in love with their own reflection in the singer's eyes. The metaphor of looking in a mirror and seeing what you want to see is used to show how the person in question only sees themselves and their desires, never taking the time to truly see or care for the singer. Additionally, the singer reveals how this person is transparent when it comes to talking about themselves but lacks empathy and consideration when discussing others.
"You And Me" is a song that touches on the themes of self-love, vulnerability, and the dangers of falling for someone who is only concerned with themselves. The chorus of the song emphasizes how the person in question only sees what they want to see, and how they look right through the singer as if they weren't there. The last lines of the song, "Next time I'll be more careful, Next time I'll look through you," show how the singer has learned from this experience and will not let themselves fall for someone like this again.

Because I was looking for something
I was searching for something to fill a void in my life
And because you were there
And you happened to be present at the time
I fooled myself into thinking
I deceived myself into believing
In thinking you could care
That you were capable of caring for me
That's when you looked right through me
You saw right through my facade
And I believed all of your lies
And I fell for your false words
When the only part of me that you could love
The only aspect of myself you were capable of loving
Was your reflection in my eyes
Was the image of yourself that you saw in me
You sure like to talk about yourself
You seem to enjoy speaking about your own life
And everything you do
And every action that you take
But when you talk about someone else
But when you discuss another person
It's how it pertains to you
It's how they relate to your own life
You were so transparent
You were easily seen through
Why wasn't I able to see
Why couldn't I perceive this earlier
Until you looked right through
Until you finally saw through my facade
And stripped a part of me
And took away a piece of who I was
You looked right through me
You saw past my facade
As though I wasn't there
As if I didn't exist
In love with your own image
Infatuated with your own reflection
Completely unaware
Totally ignorant of how you were affecting me
'cause boys who look right through me
Because boys who see past my facade
And only like me for what I do
And only appreciate me for what I can provide
Next time I'll be more careful
Next time I'll exercise more caution
Next time I'll look through you
Next time I'll see past your facade
When you look in the mirror
When you gaze at your own reflection
You see what you want to see
You only see what you desire to perceive
When you look in the mirror
When you gaze at your own reflection
You look through me
You see right through me
