Maggie Lindemann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I lay me down to sleep
Tell me do you think of me in your dreams?
When you're not next to me
Always gotta cross the line
I'm just gonna take and waste your time
You're so easy to read
You will be there when I need it
You can call it what you want
But I will never be the one
You know I like to take control
So I'll be leaving you out here to bleed
Drag you down with me
You'll never get away from me
Feel me wrap around you 'til you scream
"How could you do this to me?"
Now I've cut off all the brakes
You best believe that I'm your worst mistake
But you always make it
But you always make it
And you keep on crawling back
You're in too deep 'cause your heart's attached
You know that this won't last, yeah
You know I like to take control (take control)
So I'll be leaving you out here to bleed (out here to bleed)
Drag you down with me (drag you down with me, yeah)
You'll never get away from me (away from me)
Feel me wrap around you 'til you scream (until you scream)
"How could you do this to me?"
Who will be there when I need it?
You can call it what you want
But I will be your only one (only one)
You know I love to take control
So I'll be leaving you out here to bleed (out here to bleed)
Drag you down with me
You'll never get away from me (away from me)
Feel me wrap around you 'til you scream (until you scream)
"How could you do this to me?"
The song "How Could You Do This To Me?" by Maggie Lindemann and Kellin Quinn is about a toxic and controlling relationship. The lyrics show a person who is in control of the relationship, is possessive, and is hurting the other person. The singer is asking the other person how they could do this to them, while at the same time admitting that they like to take control and hurt their partner. The line "You'll never get away from me" shows the possessiveness and control in the relationship.
The singer seems to have a somewhat twisted love for the other person, as they want to hurt them but also don't want anyone else to have them. The line "Who will be there when I need it? You can call it what you want, but I will be your only one" shows that despite the toxic nature of the relationship, the singer still wants to be the only one for the other person. The line "Now I've cut off all the brakes, you best believe that I'm your worst mistake" shows that the singer knows they are not good for the other person, but they still want to be in control and keep them around.
Overall, the song is about a toxic and controlling relationship where one person is hurting the other and the other person is in too deep to leave.
