ALWAYS DO
The Kid LAROI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shit, I lied to your face like I always do
Said I was gon' change, both know that I can't
Shit, I'd rather take the blame like I always do
I been the same ever since the first day
Now you actin' surprised, but bitch, you always knew
Maybe it's time for me to find somebody else
Like I always do
I know you can't believe me 'cause I never tell the truth but, oh
I wish that you could just see that it's only to protect you, no
How many times can somebody want the same pain?
When the pressure put on me, then I change lanes
And every time that I run, I know you gon' chase
We always end up right back in the same place
You, wastin' all my time with you
Wishin' I was someone new
Stuck up in my ways and
You say that you hate it, but you always knew
Said I wouldn't drink, but I did, same day
Shit, I lied to your face like I always do
Said I was gon' change, both know that I can't
Shit, I'd rather take the blame like I always do
I been the same ever since the first day
Now you actin' surprised, but bitch, you always knew
Maybe it's time for me to find somebody else
Like I always do
Do, do, do, do, do, uh, like I always
Do, do, do, do, do, do, like I always do
I'm sorry, I can't be the me you wanted
I'm about to fall, and you're all in
I'm not the one to solve your problems
'Cause I'm fucked up too
Wastin' all my time with you
Wishin' I was someone new
Stuck up in my ways and
You say that you hate it, but you always knew
Said I wouldn't drink, but I did, same day
Shit, I lied to your face like I always do
Said I was gon' change, both know that I can't
Shit, I'd rather take the blame like I always do
I've been the same ever since the first day
Now you actin' surprised, but bitch, you always knew
Maybe it's time for me to find somebody else
Like I always do
Do, do, do, do, do, uh, like I always
Do, do, do, do, do, do, like I always do
In "ALWAYS DO," The Kid LAROI uses self-reflection to analyze and admit to his own flaws in a relationship. Plagued with guilt and self-defeating patterns, he confronts his own toxic habits and behavior, recognizing that his partner has always been aware of his insincerity. The lyrics sing, "Said I wouldn't drink, but I did, same day, Shit, I lied to your face like I always do, Said I was gon' change, both know that I can't, Shit, I'd rather take the blame like I always do." Here, he acknowledges his lack of trustworthiness and willingness to shift the responsibility onto himself rather than make genuine changes. The cycle of addiction and poor communication has driven a rift between the couple, with The Kid LAROI ultimately conceding that it may be time to move on "like I always do."
Throughout the track, The Kid LAROI demonstrates a level of emotional maturity by recognizing his own faults and the harm he's caused his partner. He, however, reveals that he continues to inflict damage on the relationship. He sings, "And every time that I run, I know you gon' chase, We always end up right back in the same place." These lyrics suggest that he's aware of his tendencies and that he's aware of the impact they have on his significant other. Despite acknowledging his problems, The Kid LAROI struggles to find a lasting solution, leaving the possibility of breaking up open-ended.
