1. Is it too late to stop the flood? It’s already opened up something I
don’t want to stop, does [he] love me? This line needs no explanation because don’t we all
know the realisation doesn’t hit us until it’s too late? Now we’re stuck trying
to figure it out.
2. Now you’re looking at me and I’m looking at you like a fool. Ugh. That’s all I can say here,
because, again, don’t we all know the feeling? When it hits you hard and you start wondering if they can see it on your face when you’re looking back so
hopelessly in love.
3. It creeps in slowly, stings like poison through my veins… so many
questions, so many glances unexplained. Let’s talk less about the looks you don’t get
and more about the looks you do. You know the one, where you’re busy doing
something and turn around to catch that look
on his face. ‘I’m just looking at you, there’s no reason behind it’. But there
is and we both know it.
4. You steal the air that I need and when you’re near me, it gets hard to
breathe. BRB, just thinking
of all the times I felt this exact way...
5. Oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice, while I’m gambling all of
the time. Is there
even a ‘we’ anymore? Because it seems like you’re making all of the decisions,
and I’m just waiting for one of those decisions to be me.
6. But you don’t know what it feels like to fall in love with you, no you
don’t know what it’s like when you can’t go back. Is there anything you haven’t said for me,
Dean?
7. And you said ‘hold me, I’m falling apart’. This is when you know how you feel and you know
you’re in love, the same way you don’t know how to say it. But what do you do when all you want is to be held and saved by
your hero? All you can do is say it, and Dean Lewis understands this in ‘Chemicals’,
though all he could do was write about how he took the feeling away from her,
so…
8. I tried to hold on tight to make you mine but I lost each time. I don’t know about you but this is
the line that makes me question everything, myself included. Surely if you’re
trying to hold on to somebody and fail every time you try, that’s saying
something, right?
9. I think it’s time to let you go, to let your heart find a home, I need
to let you go. Maybe
I should just move on. Maybe loving you is toxic, and maybe it’s not good for
either of us. Maybe you want to move
on.. or maybe you have.
10. I don’t need your love; I just need you now. And this is where you feel yourself settling,
because you don’t even care anymore if it’s a mutual feeling or not, you just
know that you need him now. And you don’t know this at the time, but you’ll
find a love that is deserving of your time, and in that time spent waiting,
you’ll see what it’s like to love yourself above all.
