the idea of you
mxmtoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if I'm in love with you
Or the idea of loving you
It's unclear, I mean I used to feel so sure
But I might just be immature
I've been stuck on you for so long
That it's hard to tell myself I may be wrong
About the way that I feel for you
For so long, I would squeal
Over a single text from you, you

'Cause it's not love
When you don't talk anymore
And it's not love
When I never meant something to you

So why did I ever catch these stupid feelings?
I knew, when you told me I was cute
That I was dreaming
So now, I'll try and tell myself
My feelings have no meaning
They have no meaning
They have no meaning

'Cause it's not love
When you don't talk anymore
And it's not love
When you make me feel like I'm a bore
And it's not love
When I was the only one who's waiting
And it's not love
When there was no chance of you saying
"I love you too"
"I love you too"

And I don't know if I'm in love with you
Or the idea of loving you
It's unclear, I mean I used to feel so sure
But I might just be immature




I've been stuck on you for so long
That it's hard to tell myself I may be wrong

Overall Meaning

The song "The Idea of You" by mxmtoon is about questioning whether the feelings for someone are genuine love or just infatuation with the concept of being in love with that person. The singer is conflicted and unsure about whether their feelings are truly genuine, or if they are based on an idealistic perception of what love should be like.


The lyrics suggest that the singer has been very infatuated with this person for a long time, possibly even obsessed. They may have built up a fantasy in their head about what being in love with this person would be like, but when the reality of the situation didn't match their expectations, they started to doubt the authenticity of their feelings.


The song also speaks to the pain of unrequited love, as the singer acknowledges that the other person never felt the same way about them. They were left waiting and hoping for something that was never going to happen, and now they must come to terms with the fact that their feelings were not reciprocated.


Overall, "The Idea of You" is a bittersweet exploration of the complexities of love and infatuation, and the difficulty of distinguishing between the two.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't know
It's unclear


If I'm in love with you
I mean I felt real sure, but maybe I'm just immature


Or the idea of loving you
I'm unsure whether I love you or just the idea of loving you


I've been
I've had feelings for you


Stuck on you for too long
My feelings for you have lingered for quite some time


It's hard
It's difficult


To tell if maybe i'm wrong
To determine if my feelings are misguided


About
Concerning


The way that I feel
My emotions towards you


For you
In regards to you


For so long
For an extended period of time


I would squeal
I would get very excited


Over a single text from you
Upon receiving a message from you


But it's not love
My feelings aren't love


When you don't talk anymore
When we no longer communicate


And it's not love
It cannot be considered love


When I never meant something to you
When I wasn't meaningful to you


Why did I
Why did I ever


Ever catch
Develop


These stupid feelings
These foolish emotions


I knew
I was aware


When you told me I was cute
When you complimented me


That I was dreaming
That it was too good to be true


So now
As a result


I'll try and tell myself
I'll attempt to convince myself


My feelings for you they have no meaning
My emotions towards you are insignificant


They have no meaning
They are meaningless


Cause it's not love
Because it's not true love


When you don't talk anymore
When communication ceases


And it's not love
It can't be called love


When you make me feel like i'm a bore
When you make me feel uninteresting


Cause it's not love
Since it's not genuine love


When I was always the one waiting
When I was always waiting for you


And it's not love
It's not love


When there was no chance of you stating
When you didn't express your feelings for me


I don't know
I'm unsure


If I'm in love with you
If my emotions towards you are love


Or the idea of loving you
Or if I simply love the thought of loving you


It's unclear
It's not evident


I mean I felt real sure
I was certain


But maybe i'm just immature
But maybe my emotions are childish


I've been
I have experienced


Stuck on you for too long
My infatuation with you has lasted too long


It's hard
It's difficult


To tell if maybe i'm wrong
To determine if my emotions are misplaced

i don't know
if i'm in love with you
or the idea of loving you

it's unclear
i mean i used to feel so sure
but i might just be immature

i've been
stuck on you for so long
that is hard to tell myself
i may be wrong

about
the way that i feel for you
for so long
i would squeal
over a single text from you
you, you

cause it's not love
when you don't talk anymore
and it's not love
when i never meant something to you

so i deny i

these stupid feelings

i knew
when you told me i was cute
that i was dreaming

so now
i'll try and tell myself
my feelings have no meaning
they have no meaning
they have no meaning

cause it's not love
when you don't talk anymore
and it's not love
when you make me feel like i'm a bore

and it's not love
when i was the only one who's waiting
and it's not love
when there was no chance of you saying
i love you too
i love you too

and i don't know
if i'm in love with you
or the idea of loving you

it's unclear
i mean i used to feel so sure
but i might just be immature

i've been
so stuck on you for so long
that is hard to tell myself
that i may be wrong

When you realize the person you’ve liked for so long might not be as perfect as you thought they were, and slowly realizing they aren’t anything at all like you thought they were.

Because nobody's pretty on the inside, and sometimes you have to adapt to sticking around and loving people when things get messy so you can wait for the good days to come around.
