You
Reactor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Days that I have wasted
Waiting for your call
Nights that I have missed you
But you didn't miss me at all
A hopeless hope I've nurtured
You never let me know
That all the while behind your smile
You planned to let me go

As if you want me
As if you care

All those loving moments
Were just another game
I thought we worked together
But you didn't feel the same
I loved you like no other
My love for you was blind
So why d'you keep pretending
That everything was fine?

As if you need me
As if you care
As if you need me
As if you care

The telepathic glances
Across the crowded room
They didn't mean a thing to you
You knew that you'd be leaving soon
Your kiss became a lie
When your heart began to stray
So why d'you keep on saying
That you wanted me to stay

As if you love me
As if you care




As if you love me
As if you cared

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Reactor's song "You" touch on the feelings of unrequited love and the deception that often comes with it. The singer describes the days and nights they've wasted waiting for the person they love to call or show interest, but to no avail. Despite the hope they've held onto, the singer reveals that their love was never reciprocated and the other person planned to let them go all along. The singer has been blind to the fact that their love was nothing but a game to the other person, who never felt the same.


The chorus of the song, "As if you want me, as if you care" and "As if you need me, as if you care" highlights the singer's frustration with the other person's insincere actions. The telepathic glances across the crowded room were meaningless to the other person, who always knew they would be leaving soon. The singer's heartbreak is palpable in the line "Your kiss became a lie when your heart began to stray" as they realize they have been deceived all along. Despite all of this, the other person keeps insisting that they want the singer to stay, leading the singer to question "as if you love me, as if you care."


Overall, "You" is a sad and introspective song that paints a vivid picture of what it's like to feel unloved and unwanted. The lyrics express the pain of chasing after someone who ultimately never had any intention of catching you.
