YOU
Whitey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should've known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again





I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again

Overall Meaning

In "Today I Started Loving You Again" by Whitey, the lyrics depict the singer's journey of rediscovering love for someone. The opening line, "Today I started loving you again," suggests that the singer had previously fallen out of love but has now sparked those feelings once more. The next line, "I'm right back where I've really always been," introspectively reveals that despite any attempts to move on, the love for this person has always remained within the singer's heart.


The next verse reflects on the singer's past foolishness in thinking that they could cope with their heartache by shedding million tears. They acknowledge their naivety in assuming that things couldn't get worse, only to realize that their genuine grieving had just begun. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's renewed commitment to loving this person once again.


Overall, these lyrics convey the cyclical nature of love and the complexities of relationships. Despite trying to move on and heal, love has a way of resurfacing and rekindling old flames. It speaks to the vulnerability and resilience associated with matters of the heart.

Lyrics:

I told myself a thousand ways,
I will get over this fall
All the good that ever did
It was all because of you,

I kept your picture on my wall,
I can't get rid of it and
Every stupid thing i did
It was all because of you,
All because of you —
Don't lay this all on me

Don't lay this all on me

Don't lay this all on me

Don't lay this all on me

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmm

The people come,
The people go,
We all get over this but there's
One time that i never did
And there's nothing i can do,

I have to lay this on my head,
There's no one else around here
And if i could make you,
Disappear
Then i know,
What i would do,

I know,
What i would do
You left this all on me

You left this all on me

You left this all on me

You left this all on me
