but is still gravitated to them and their love

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ
๐ ๐ก๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐จ" - louis is somewhat dependent on this person and physically NEEDS them to be happy, he is ashamed to admit this, this COULD be because he knows they don& #39;t feel the same about him
๐ ๐ก๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐จ" - louis is somewhat dependent on this person and physically NEEDS them to be happy, he is ashamed to admit this, this COULD be because he knows they don& #39;t feel the same about him
"๐ฐ๐& #39;๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ง& #39; ๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ฐ๐& #39;๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ" - louis and this person keep ignoring the communication problems in the relationship to avoid and argument +
louis is afraid of what to say in case he loses the person that he needs and depends on
"๐ฐ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ค๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ& #39;๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ" - louis spends his nights fantasising about what the relationship COULD be like if they solved their issues +
but he knows that as soon as he wakes up it& #39;s all over and he has to face the fact that he& #39;s in a broken relationship with someone who is being closed off with him. This fantasy remains in his bed as a comfort blanket he can return to at night to forget about the problems
"๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ, ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง& #39; ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ" - louis& #39; mind is constantly consumed by how he can possibly express to the person he loves that he needs more from them, he& #39;s terrified of losing this person but also terrified of staying +
the way things are right now. he then says that what he wants to say is just truth but he& #39;s still way too scared to say it how it is because he desperately needs this person to stay, which is shown when he says that he has so much to lose
the whole chorus is the heartbreaking reality of giving everything you are to someone and being completely vulnerable to them but getting little in return, louis still loves this person but is struggling because no matter what he does this person just +
becomes more and more closed off. the next verse follows this up as he talks about the person pretending to be strong but he can see right through it and can tell that they& #39;re struggling but refuse to be vulnerable around him, making him feel helpless
"๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ง& #39;๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐" - since louis has been so open and vulnerable, this person feels as though they have to prove that they& #39;re the & #39;stronger& #39; person in the relationship and have no struggles +
louis is trying to express that the person can be themselves and louis would still love them for who they are because he& #39;s infatuated and drawn to them despite the pain he& #39;s feeling by loving them
"๐ข ๐ก๐จ๐ฉ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐& #39;๐ฆ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก, ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ" - louis constantly feels as though hes overstepping by telling them to be more open with him and doesn& #39;t want to push them away +
but he can& #39;t help but feel unloved because of how closed off and cold they are with him, he then follows this by saying that he& #39;s too tired to be tough which shows that he& #39;s sick of constantly pretending that he& #39;s unbothered by this situation and what& #39;s going on +
when in reality it& #39;s consuming him entirely, he doesn& #39;t want to leave this person, he just wants to finally be loved and be in a relationship with open communication
overall, this song to me shows elements of codependency with louis being completely consumed and infatuated with this person despite the pain they& #39;re causing him.
it also discusses the topic of feeling like you& #39;re not doing enough to help, louis clearly feels completely helpless because he can& #39;t help when they& #39;re & #39;lost in their pride& #39; and just wants to do anything he can to help
louis feels as though the relationship is one sided but doesn& #39;t know how to express this to them, he& #39;s sick of being the only one who opens up and shows his vulnerable side

obviously anything i say is just MY view of it, i don& #39;t actually 100% know what the song is about
