In “Means I care”, Tate McRae opens up about the complicated way she shows affection in relationships. The song explores the idea that when she cuts someone off or distances herself, it’s actually because she cares deeply. McRae confesses that, although it may seem like she’s pushing people away, he...
[Intro]
Na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-hey
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-hey
Na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-hey
[Verse 1]
"Shit, I probably shoulda"
That's my favourite line
Stick around, I woulda
It just isn't what I'm like (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Got no better way to put it
Know you're puttin' in the time
And every time I'm like, "Nah, nah, nah"
You know I don't mean it, right?
[Pre-Chorus]
It's nothin' that you did or didn't do
I say, "I will," and never follow through
The second I admit I felt it too
Yeah, I was gone
[Chorus]
If I cut you off, it just means I care
Downright shut you out, must mean that it's goin' somewhere
It's not what I want, it's just all I know (All I know)
If overnight I up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost
I like you the most
[Post-Chorus]
I like you the most
I like you the most
I like you, I likе you
I like you the most
[Verse 2]
And it's not about bein' hard to gеt
But I planted a seed in the back of my head
Little too good, got me second-guessin'
Never been good at the self-expression
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothin' that you did or coulda done
No, this just ain't a fight you coulda won
Sorry, I'm the best who's ever been
At stringing you along
[Chorus]
If I cut you off, it just means I care
Downright shut you out, must mean that it's goin' somewhere
It's not what I want, it's just all I know (All I know)
If overnight I up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost
I like you the most
[Bridge]
If I cut you off, it just means I care, means I care (Care)
If I cut you off, it just means I care (I'm just helping you out there)
Yeah, if I cut you off, it just means I care (Care), means I care
If I cut you off, it just means I care
[Chorus]
If I cut you off, it just means I care
Downright shut you out, must mean that it's goin' somewhere
It's not what I want, it's just all I know (All I know)
If overnight I up and end it, run away without a mention, go ghost
I like you the most
[Post-Chorus]
I like you the most
I like you the most
I like you, I like you
I like you the most
I like you the most
I like you the most (My baby, oh)
I like you, I like you
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-hey)
