Come Pick Me Up Lyrics

Loving a narcissist is like this, fluctuating between delicious love bombing and sudden awful behavior that makes you feel insignificant and stupid.

It seems to me that this song was written about someone he treated so badly that he deserves nothing better than the foul things he suggests, which would strip him of everything he values and humiliate him immeasurably. He’s filled with remorse of an inconsolable, irretrievable level.
