Want You
Voost Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I lying to myself
Or do I hate that you're out late with someone else
Cause I feel like crying
And I'm alone
I think it's hurting me more than I know

But you,
You give me reasons for

Feeling the way that I do
And you
You make me feel something I can't explain

So...
Why do I, why do I want you
Why do I want you,
Why do I, why do I want you,
You gave me reasons, but I can't explain,

Why do I, why do I want you..

Is our loving too far gone
Or did we leave the fire burning for to long
Was I right
To let you go
Oh it'is hurting me more than I know

But you,
You give me reasons for
Feeling the way that I do
And you
You make me feel something I can't explain

So...
Why do I, why do I want you
Why do I want you,
Why do I, why do I want you,
You gave me reasons, but I can't explain,

Why do I, why do I want you..

Line by Line Meaning

Am I lying to myself
Questioning if I am intentionally deceiving myself

Or do I hate that you're out late with someone else
Wondering if I am upset because you are spending time with someone else

Cause I feel like crying
Feeling emotional and on the verge of tears

And I'm alone
Feeling lonely and isolated

I think it's hurting me more than I know
Realizing that my emotions are impacting me more deeply than I initially thought

But you,
Acknowledging the presence of the person I am referring to

You give me reasons for
Recognizing that you provide me with justification for

Feeling the way that I do
Experiencing the emotions that I have towards you

And you
Continuing to talk to the person in question

You make me feel something I can't explain
You elicit emotions in me that I struggle to articulate

So...
Transitioning into the chorus

Why do I, why do I want you
Questioning why I am so drawn to you

Why do I want you,
Repeating the question for emphasis

Why do I, why do I want you,
Continuing to question my attraction to you

You gave me reasons, but I can't explain,
Recognizing that you have given me justification for my feelings, but I still struggle to understand them fully

Is our loving too far gone
Questioning whether our love has reached a point of no return

Or did we leave the fire burning for too long
Wondering if we allowed our passion to die out naturally through a prolonged period of neglect

Was I right
Doubting whether I made the correct decision

To let you go
Questioning my choice to end our relationship

Oh it's hurting me more than I know
Feeling the emotional pain of the breakup in a more profound and significant way than I had previously anticipated

Am I lying to myself
Or do I hate that you're out late with someone else
Cause I feel like crying
And I'm alone
I think it's hurting me more than I know
But you,
You give me reasons for
Feeling the way that I do
And you
You make me feel something I can't explain
So...
Why do I, why do I want you
Why do I want you,
Why do I, why do I want you,
You gave me reasons, but I can't explain,
Why do I, why do I want you..
Is our loving too far gone
Or did we leave the fire burning for to long
Was I right
To let you go
Oh it'is hurting me more than I know
But you,
You give me reasons for
Feeling the way that I do
And you
You make me feel something I can't explain
So...
Why do I, why do I want you
Why do I want you,
Why do I, why do I want you,
You gave me reasons, but I can't explain,
Why do I, why do I want you..
