“I love you but I need another year” is a song about being in denial of needing help. Liza recognises her symptoms but doesn’t know how to address them and tells her lover that she “just needs another year” to get herself together, scared that they’ll leave her due to her emotional turmoil.
[Verse 1]
I don't think enough
Before I say too much
I'm digging my own grave
With all the shit I say
I keep my head high
Kinda like a lie
I say I'm doing fine
Even when I'm losing my mind
[Chorus]
Stay here
I know I love you but I need another year, oh
I don't wanna drag you through it
Stay here
I know I love you but I need another year, oh
I don't wanna drag you through it
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling nauseous
I'll light a cigarette
I don't want a diagnosis
I don't want a name to call this
And I'm unravelling
And all I know for certain
Is I'm not running toward the safest thing
[Bridge]
You're sticking around but how can you stand it?
I can't salvage your mind while I'm losing mine quick
And nobody should have to deal with this
But I need ya, I don't wanna leave ya
[Chorus]
Stay here
I know I love you but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
Stay here
I know I love you but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
[Chorus]
Stay here
I know I love you but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
Stay here
I know I love you but I need another year
I don't wanna drag you through it
