Lyric Analysis

EARNED IT:

You make it look like it's magic (oh, yeah)
'Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused
Hey, hey, and I'm so used to being used

What he means in these lyrics is that he is in love with the person he is singing about, he appreciates them for all that they are and in all of their beauty. Also, a sense of intimacy and one being devoted to a person like he is. One last thing is that he is letting the person know that he values the relationship and he wants to make his partner feel loved and appreciated

Influential Lyrics

You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care

I don't know why I run away

I make you cry when I run away

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

This inspires me because i kinda went through the same thing in one of my past relationships. Also, it makes me feel like im the one singing the song because i weirdly relate to it alot. ¨take me back cause i wanna stay" also hit hard because i left and came back. One more lyric that influences/inspires me is ¨Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine¨ because trust and believe i give back the same energy! You break my heart i break yours on my soul, but anyways all of the weeknds songs are inspiring and i cried to like two of them and one of his songs inspired me to wait for the right person and that love can be true and pure with the right person.
