Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what we're heading towards
But I know my heart is all yours
All my friends tell me I'd be better off on my own
And sometimes I believe 'em
But I know, I can never leave him
Mixed signals mixed signals
I don't know what you are
But I know what I need
The goodbyes, the hellos, the I need you's
The no I don't every time I start to close the door
You knock and I let you in
Loving you is my greatest sin
You tell me to get lost and that your done
I see it in your eyes, you wanna run
But I know, you know, that I'm the only one
I can find someone who'd never make me cry
Someone who'd never tell me goodbye
But I know that I would never survive
Mixed signals mixed signals
They're killing me
I don't know what you aren't
But I know what I need
The goodbyes, the hellos, the I need you's
The no I don't every time I start to close the door
You knock and I let you in
Loving you is my greatest sin
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I stay
I don't know if its worth the pain
But even when you slam the door and drive away
I still set the table for two
Babe, you know I'm waiting on you
To buy me a bouquet tell we're okay
And that you so so sorry
And I believe you every time
But I can't lie, these
Mixed signals mixed signals
They're killing me
I don't know what you are
But I know what I need
The goodbyes, the hellos, the I need you's
The no I don't every time I start to close the door
You knock and I let you in
Loving you is my greatest sin
Loving you is my greatest sin
Loving you is my greatest sin
The lyrics of Ruth B.'s "Mixed Signals" revolve around the confusion and uncertainty that comes with being in a relationship where communication is not clear. The singer expresses her love for her partner, despite the mixed signals she receives from him. She acknowledges that her friends think she would be better off alone, but she cannot bring herself to leave him. The chorus of the song emphasizes how difficult it is for the singer to understand what her partner wants from her and how it is affecting her emotionally.
The verse about goodbyes, hellos, and I need you's captures the inconsistency of her partner's behavior towards her. Sometimes he tells her to leave and that he is done, but at other times, he wants her to come back. Even though she knows that her partner is not treating her well, she still loves him and cannot imagine being without him. The line "Loving you is my greatest sin" encapsulates the conflicting feelings the singer has towards her relationship.
Overall, "Mixed Signals" is a contemplative and emotive song about the complications of love and communication in a relationship. It highlights the difficulties of staying in a relationship where one partner is not clear about their intentions and leaves the other partner feeling uncertain about their future.
