Lyrics of
I Love You

The song discusses the complex emotions of love and the fear of fully expressing oneself, written by Billie Eilish and her brother FINNEAS. The inspiration came from personal experiences and observations on relationships and emotions.

It's not true
Tell me I’ve been lied to
Crying isn't like you, ooh
What the hell did I do?
Never been the type to
Let someone see right through, ooh

Maybe, won't you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn’t mean to say "I love you"
I love you and I don't want to, ooh

Up all night
On another red-eye
I wish we never learned to fly I-I-I
Maybe we should just try
To tell ourselves a good lie
I didn't mean to make you cry, I-I-I

Maybe, won't you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn’t mean to say "I love you"
I love you and I don't want to, ooh

The smile that you gave me
Even when you felt like dying

We fall apart as it gets dark
I'm in your arms in Central Park
There's nothing you could do or say
I can’t escape the way, I love you
I don’t want to, but I love you, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
