I Love You's Lyrics
-
Haha, what kind of crack did you smoke to come up with that interpretation, "balish_feat"? How you can believe this song is entirely about COVID-19 takes a special kind of imagination.

SONG LYRICS:
Where do I begin?
I'm sitting here jaded
Yeah, I fell asleep with the makeup still all on my skin
Wide awake again
I'm praying I make it
I'm stepping the 12 but it's somewhere I've already been
Diamonds won't fool me 'cause I'm too far gone
Wish I could get back the air in my lungs
I've been so fucked up, it's bad for my heart
My heart
So
No more I love you's
It's too easy to say
No more I loves you's
Until I'm okay
I blamed it on the time zones
I blamed it on my eyes closed
I blamed it on the world like it owes me
So stop me before it's too late
No more I love you's
Until I'm okay
Oh, I faced my sins
And I wish it was easy
Now I fall asleep with the light on but still without you
So I'll make amends
And I buy myself flowers
And then when they die I'll be happy that they got me through
Diamonds won't fool me 'cause I'm too far gone
Wish I could get back the air in my lungs
I've been so fucked up, it's bad for my heart
My heart
So
No more I love you's
It's too easy to say
No more I loves you's
Until I'm okay
I blamed it on the time zones
I blamed it on my eyes closed
I blamed it on the world like it owes me
So stop me before it's too late
No more I love you's
Until I'm okay
It's not on my lips and I love it
No weight on my chest, I'm above it
I'm taking a moment to cut it out
I feel my conscience is calling
Now there's no fear, no more running
I don't want words that mean nothing, no
Oh, no more I love you's
It's too easy to say (Know it's too easy to say)
No more I loves you's (No)
Until I'm okay (Until I'm okay)
I blamed it on the time zones
I blamed it on my eyes closed
I blamed it on the world like it owes me
So stop me before it's too late
No more I love you's
Until I'm okay (Until I'm okay)
MEANING:
1. This song was released during the COVID-19 pandemic which was a time of utter confusion and panic. This line of the song signifies Hailee's frustrations with the times. She doesn't know how to start her song amidst this apocalyptic mayhem of COVID-19.
2. Long boring days of social distancing have made her jaded like hell
3. She couldn't go out of her house due to the NOVEL CORONAVIRUS situation. She misses her free days and wears make-up in nostalgia. She is so nostalgic and bored at the same time that she forgets to remove her make-up while going to sleep.
4. These interesting days of COVID have upset her normal routine. She feels To sleep amidst this chess and wakes up disturbed due to the horrid nightmares of exaggerated COVID scenarios.In this tough time she resorts to God and prays to stay strong and make it through this.
5. She claims to have been in a similar situation before where she was surrounded by hopelessness, disparity and grief.
6. Hailee is a relatively well-known singer who earns millions and is a perfect material girl, but it is seen that the COVID-19 pandemic has not left anyone untouched, be it the rich and classy ones or the poor ones. Haylee's condition has worsened after this realization and she has become too far gone.
7. In her dark nightmares regarding COVID-19, she pictures herself in a situation of acute illness (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome(ARDS)) where she fails to breathe and has a cardiac malfunction. She is getting affected by COVID-19 paranoia in her black mindless nightmares.
8. As we know from her recent interview, she has been going through a lot of personal drama, and it has taken a toll on her heart. The literally and metaphorically heartbroken girl is now more perplexed about the growing pandemic. Her lost love from Britain is now at the epicenter of the crisis. Her paranoia has started to make her restless, which is bad for her health. She has also found out that the n-cov-19 virus is likely to affect people with hypertension and heart disease with more severe symptoms. In fact, people with heart disease and hypertension pre-conditions are 6-10 times more likely of dying than those without.
9. In order to keep herself and her loved ones safe, she has taken the hard decision of staying at home with no more I LOVE YOU'S. She, being a responsible citizen, has decided upon distancing herself socially, physically, emotionally and mentally from everything she loves. In a statement about the video, Steinfeld broke down the concept of being confined in a room alone, which ties into the song theme of staying single for the sake of self-care. "I had gone through a break up and felt for the longest time that was in this confined space," she said.
10. But after a few days of quarantining, she came to this realization that sitting, standing and rolling over in her private room is not a walk in the park it takes a lot of courage and inner strength to not put make up on and not be like MOST GIRLS.
11. But, Hailee is a hard nut to crack. Her decision of self-isolation is stronger than her urge to be like the wild party bitches at the Miami beach. Moreover, her determined will to not go on the WRONG DIRECTION and LOVE HERSELF is very strong. Hence, she plans to self-quarantine her until she is OK and BACK TO (her normal) LIFE.
12. The perplexed in Hallee now begins to blame the entire world for spreading the menace and claims that the world owes her a big one and it is the responsibility of the entire humanity the clean the mess to her to be free and LET HER GO.
13. Hailee was told by the government to relax and stay calm as the virus was CHINESE virus that didn't have a passport to her great land of glory. And, she being a law-abiding citizen followed the gospel of the government and staved blind to the death-knell of the world until the virus gained a visa to her so-called land of supreme power.
14. This catastrophic pandemic can be traced back to Nov 19. It was said that COVID-19 was partial to affect the Chinese people and people of different time zones calmed their tits until shit hit the fan. Hence, Hailee moved on to blame the world for speculating stupid theories.
15. Opposite to her loved song LET HER GO she has now planted guards to stop her from going out before it's too late. Her fear to accidentally kill someone has overshadowed her free will to move about. She has promised herself to DO IT RIGHT and is willing to STARVE for it as long as it is required.
