Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know
She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
This I know, girl, I know
She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face (I can't feel nothing) when I'm with you
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it,(but I love it) oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, (but I love it) oh
She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (I can't feel my face)
But I love it,(but I love it) but I love it (oh I love it) oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (said I can't feel my face)
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (face, when I'm with you)
But I love it (but I love it) but I love it, don't you think I can't
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (I can't feel my face)
But I love it, (when I'm with you baby) but I love it, (when I'm with you baby)

The Weeknd's song "Can't Feel My Face" is a song that describes the addiction and euphoria caused by a passionate and intense relationship. The singer acknowledges that the relationship will ultimately lead to their demise, but in the moment, they don't care because they are consumed with love and passion. The lyrics "And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb" highlight the fact that they are aware of the negative impact the relationship will have, but numbness and the blindness of love will keep them in the relationship.
The lyrics also illustrate that the worst is yet to come, but they are willing to endure it because of the addiction they have to the relationship. The line "All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love, this I know, girl, I know" portrays that although the relationship may be causing pain and suffering, it is also necessary for their love to flourish, and they are willing to accept the consequences that may come with it.
The chorus "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it, oh" captures the intensity of the relationship, where it's so strong that it numbs the senses. The singer feels like they can't feel anything else or think clearly apart from being with their lover, and they don't care about the effects it may have on them.
