Verse 1
I can't tell you whyBut something inside is dancing with fireEyes lit like the skyTurned tears into diamonds, got good at goodbyesPre-Chorus
Just know that I will find my way from youLike flowers from a tomb while you decide who you areAnd I can see right through, ooh-ooh, like shadows on the moonAnd it's all bad newsChorus
Yeah, I, I, I hate that I made you love meSorry if I made me your typeYeah, I, I hate that I made you love me'Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, IVerse 2
What's happening now?You studied my crown and borrowed my bodyWarm, kissed by the sun, then cold like the windA bee stuck in honeyPre-Chorus
Know that I will find my way (My way) from you (From you)I guess it's kind of cute how you like me where you areBut I can see right through (Right through), ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)Just don't eclipse the moon'Cause it's all bad newsChorus
Yeah, I, I, I hate that I made you love meSorry if I made me your typeYeah, I, I hate that I made you love me (Hate that I made you)'Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, I (Ooh, I made)Bridge
I've held your projections when you've felt so insecureTell me, why is it this way?Why you so hate to see women endure?Is it really my fault you all gave me your hearts of your own accord?I don't really think soChorus
I, I hate that I made you love me (Made you love me, baby)Sorry if I made me your typeYeah, I, I hate that I made you love me'Cause I barely triedYeah, I, I, I hate that I made you love me (You love me, baby)Sorry if I made me your type (Sorry if I made me your type)Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me (Ooh)'Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, IWhat the song means
A song about the complicated guilt of making someone fall in love with you effortlessly. The speaker resents being blamed for someone else's emotional choice, while also grappling with her own power and attractiveness. She challenges the unfair expectation that women should apologize for being desirable.
