The hardest part of a breakup is almost the absence of that person's just like
like just being there.
And then also what comes with it is the friends of your significant other, the family of your
significant other.
They all vanish within a day as if you don't know anybody.
And you're left like, "Where's my family?
Where's my friends?"
The day I recorded this song and the inspiration behind "Mad At You" was a real experience.
I was just going through a hard time in a relationship that I was in for a really, really
long time.
When you love somebody as much as your significant other, it's hard to stay mad at them and realize
when someone's doing you wrong.
In those four words, you feel the emotion of the entire song.
And you kind of get a grasp of what the song is within those four mad at you's.
I've always been one to want to work things out.
So when I say we need to talk it's like, "Yo, let's work this out.
I don't ..." The last thing I want is a breakup, like, really.
With anyone I'm with, the last thing I want is a breakup.
For me, when I start to think, "We need to talk, we need to break up," I get tongue tied,
because I don't want that.
That's the last thing I want.
I fucking love the shit outta you.
And when I go to say it, it hurts, and I don't want to, but it's like we're coming to a point
of, "What do we do?"
That's kind of where you get into the conversation of, everybody wants what they can't have.
And you get so used to having somebody around that you take advantage of them.
And that's a human trait, that's not anyone's fault.
When you get too much of something, it gets old, or it gets annoying, or a little agitating
at times, or just ... You have your bickering moments.
But at the end of the day, without it, what do you do?
I'm gonna have just as hard a time at this realization as you are.
It's gonna be just as hard on me as it is you, because I love you so much.
The "You only love yourself" came from the lies, from protecting yourself.
Developing the narcissism of a relationship, of only looking out for yourself, and lying
in a situation.
So one, you don't get in trouble, and so one, you don't hurt the other person.
You say all of these things, but your actions aren't speaking up to them.
Yeah, you love me, you need me, and I don't want to go.
You had it, you almost fucking had it and it's just, my heart is shattered right now
because you and I aren't working.
