In ‘You Love Me,’ Brent sings about romantic frustration.
It’s all about offering you to someone and something is there and that person not falling through with you and rejecting you in several ways.
The song has two ‘sides’:
So it’s a balance of that sad, gut-wrenching feeling of being rejected...
[Verse 1]
I would tear my heart out for you
And lay it in your hands
And you've always had my shoulder
You were always in my plans
I know well enough to play my hand
And I know when I should fold
And you tell me nothing's changing but
Your kiss is growing cold
And you're yelling that you're staying
But you're headed for the door
But I'm sick of trying
To change your mind
Cause I've been there before
[Chorus]
Ainʼt gonna fight this time
Cut my chord, say goodbye
Youʼre gonna realize
That you love me
No, I ainʼt gonna fight this time
Cut my chord, say goodbye
Youʼre gonna realize
That you love me
[Verse 2]
Did you ever fight your battles?
Did you run away and hide?
You pretend it doesnʼt matter
But you know how hard I tried
And youʼre living on the outside now
Cause inside is such a mess
And youʼre swearing things will turn around
But they surely havenʼt yet
And youʼre making these decisions now
I know youʼll soon regret
Itʼll pain you to remember
But I wonʼt soon forget
[Chorus]
No, I ainʼt gonna fight this time
Cut my chord, say goodbye
Youʼre gonna realize
Iʼm walking away from you, baby
I ainʼt gonna fight this time
Cut my chord, say goodbye
Youʼre gonna realize
That you love me
[Outro]
You love me
You love me
Youʼre gonna realize
That you love me
You love me
You love me
Youʼre gonna realize
That you love me
You love me
