To Love Somebody
Tina and the B-Sides Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know how it feels to love somebody that don't love you
Broken hearted status from the pain so now it's fuck you
All the love is hate, I got to put someone above you
All the jealousy and negativity is going to come through
I know how it feels to love somebody that don't love you
Broken hearted status from the pain so now it's fuck you
All the love is hate, I got to put someone above you
All the jealousy and negativity is going to come through
I used to wish for more, I thought we were living in bliss
I should've saw it coming, I was blind aint call it's quits
Xany's calm me down when I'm sinking in the abyss
Now it's, lower and lower and lower, I'm just done with this
Can't believe I really let you break my heart
Why do I miss
All the butterflies you gave me
Every second that we kissed
My heart and brain are telling me different
My feelings twist
And If I had a genie, you're the wish that's on the list
And
I'm sorry that I let you down (Let you down, down, down, down)
I just never came around (Came around, 'round, 'round, 'round)
In the alcohol I drown (I drown, drown, drown, drown)
I got to leave Cus you're still in this town
I know how it feels to love somebody that don't love you
Broken hearted status from the pain so now it's fuck you
All the love is hate, I got to put someone above you
All the jealousy and negativity is going to come through
I know how it feels to love somebody that don't love you
Broken hearted status from the pain so now it's fuck you
All the love is hate, I got to put someone above you
All the jealousy and negativity is going to come through
I used to talk to God about everything that we did
And girl it's really hard, but I'm trying to just forgive
We used to be so worth it, now I'm going off the grid
Now I'm sinking, and sinking and sinking, lost my will to live
Can't believe you really did that, yea you know, I won't forget
All the memories we shared, and all the lies came off your lip
Fucked up how I'm thinking drugs the only way to live
Now I'm popping, I'm popping, I'm popping, I just need a sip (damn)
I'm sorry that I let you down (Let you down, down, down, down)
I just never came around (Came around, 'round, 'round, 'round)
In the alcohol I drown (I drown, drown, drown, drown)
I got to leave Cus you're still in this town
I know how it feels to love somebody that don't love you
Broken hearted status from the pain so now it's fuck you
All the love is hate, I got to put someone above you
All the jealousy and negativity is going to come through
I know how it feels to love somebody that don't love you
Broken hearted status from the pain so now it's fuck you




All the love is hate, I got to put someone above you
All the jealousy and negativity is going to come through
