My Affection
Vassy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, doo, doo, ah
Doo-bee-doo-bee
Where do I begin?
I'm sittin' here jaded
Yeah, I fell asleep with the makeup still on my skin
Wide awake again
I step in the 12 but it's somewhere I've already been
Diamonds won't fool me 'cause I'm too far gone
Wish I could get back the air in my lungs
I've been so fucked up, it's bad for my heart
My heart
So
No more I love you's
It's too easy to say, yeah
No more I loves you's
Until I'm okay, yeah
I blamed it on the time zones
I blamed it on my eyes closed
I blamed it on the world like it owes me
So stop me before it's too late
No more I love you's
Until I'm okay
Oh, I faced my sins
And I wish it was easy
Now I fall asleep with the light on but still without you
So I'll make amends
And I buy myself flowers
And then when they die, I'll be happy that they got me through
Diamonds won't fool me 'cause I'm too far gone
Wish I could get back the air in my lungs
I've been so fucked up, it's bad for my heart
My heart
So
No more I love you's
It's too easy to say, yeah
No more I loves you's
Until I'm okay, yeah
I blamed it on the time zones
I blamed it on my eyes closed
I blamed it on the world like it owes me
So stop me before it's too late
No more I love you's
Until I'm okay
It's not on my lips and I love it
No weight on my chest, I'm above it
I'm takin' a moment to cut it out (oh)
I feel my conscience is callin'
Now there's no fear, no more runnin'
I don't want words that mean nothin', no
Oh, no more I love you's (no, no more I love you's)
It's too easy to say, yeah (know it's too easy to say)
No more I loves you's (no)
Until I'm okay (until I'm okay)
I blamed it on the time zones (oh)
I blamed it on my eyes closed (eyes closed)
I blamed it on the world like it owes me
So stop me before it's too late
No more I love you's (ooh, oh, no)
Until I'm okay (until I'm okay)
The song "My Affection" by Vassy begins with a catchy melody of "doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, doo, doo, ah" that sets the tone for the raw and emotional lyrics that follow. The first verse describes the feeling of being lost and jaded, falling asleep with makeup still on the skin and waking up wide awake again, praying to make it through the day. The lyrics convey a sense of exhaustion and weariness, as the singer navigates through life, feeling as though they have been in the same place before.
The chorus of the song focuses on the phrase "no more I love you's," and the singer's decision to stop saying those words until they feel okay again. The lyrics are a reflection of the singer's emotional state, struggling to come to terms with their own heartache and pain. The second verse talks about facing one's sins and the challenge of moving on. The lyricist attempts to make amends and even buys flowers for themselves to find happiness. However, the singer still struggles with their emotions and acknowledges they have been too "f**cked up."
Overall, the song is a plea for healing and an acknowledgment that words are not enough to express the complexities of love and heartbreak. The repetition of "no more I love you's" creates a sense of finality and resignation that the singer needs time to heal and recover before being able to express love again.
