The lyrics to The Pretty Reckless's song "You" are a reflection of the feelings of an unrequited love. It is a song about wanting someone who does not feel the same way. The first verse speaks to the character of the person who is being addressed in the song, who does not want or need the singer in the same way that they do. The chorus repeats the idea of wanting and needing the person in the singer's life, despite the fact that they cannot have them.
The second verse elaborates on the idea that the person does not see or feel the same way about the singer. The line "I can't have you, no, like you have me" speaks to the idea that the singer is in a vulnerable position because of their feelings. The chorus repeats the idea of wanting and needing the person in the singer's life. The song concludes with the singer lamenting the fact that they cannot feel or steal the person's love as they have done to them.
Overall, "You" is a raw and emotional song that captures the feelings of unrequited love. The lyrics are simple but effective in conveying the pain of wanting someone who does not want you back. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the longing and desire of the singer, while the verses provide context and explanation for those feelings.

One of the hardest emotions to deal with is feeling so much love for one person who just doesn't feel the same way about you.
@lizdawn6295
It's also hard to even admit you feel that way because it's like you don't want to. It's dumb and it tears you apart

I remember writing that comment and, while deep feelings never really leave you, with time you will learn how to start healing (as impossible as that may seem right now).
