Love Me Less
Max Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you love me less?
If you knew the places that I've been?
If you knew the damage that I did?
Would you love me less? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I got too much dirt to come clean
Closets full of skeletons that you don't wanna see
Will you judge me? All my ugly?
I won't blame you if you do
No lies, don't wanna keep no secrets
Even if what I'ma say will you leave speechless
No secrets
If I introduce you to my demons, tell me, baby

Would you love me less
If you knew the places that I've been?
If you knew the damage that I did?
Would you love me less? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Would you love me less
If I had a dollar for my sins?
If you knew the beds that I've been in?
Would you love me less? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'm happy you never saw me in college
Blood on my hands I refuse to acknowledge
That's why I get light headed, thin ice that I'm treading
Soft conversations in our bed my skins sweatin'
She doesn't like my list of exes I've had at home
She's buggin', sounding childish like a xylophone
Knees buckling hearing that falsetto that's in her tone
If I introduce you to my demons, tell me, baby

Would you love me less (love me less)
If you knew the places that I've been? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you knew the damage that I did? (Damage that I did)
Would you love me less now? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Now, would you love me? Now, would you love me?)
Would you love me less (Would you love me less)
If I had a dollar for my sins?
If you knew the beds that I've been in?
Would you love me less? No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Or would you love me more?
Or would you love me more?
If you knew the person that I was, yeah, yeah
If you knew the power of your love to change me
And if I introduce you to my demons, tell me, baby

You won't love me less (love me less)
If you knew the places that I've been (if you knew the places, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you knew the damage that I did? (The trouble that I'm in)
Would you love me less? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Now, would you love me? )no, no, no
Would you love me less (Would you love me less?)
If I had a dollar for my sins? (A dollar for my sins, now)




If you knew the beds that I've been in?
Would you love me less? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
