Description
Love here is like a bonfire, into which wood is thrown again and again for some reason, even when it is obvious to everyone that the fire has long been out of control. With each line, there is either an admission of weakness, a bold challenge, or an almost desperate plea for one last chance. The irony is that the roles of the guilty parties are clearly defined, but you still want to return to the fire, even though you know you will inevitably get burned again.
The music is as contradictory as the words themselves: in one bar there is passion and guilt, in the next there is an attempt to justify oneself. It's like an argument between two people, where neither is willing to give in. And it is this endless loop between “I don't deserve it” and “I can't let go” that makes the sound so alive - almost too real to believe every word.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Your love for the sun and the rain.
I know I shouldn't see you again, but I can't help, hypnotized by your flame. But
I ain't gonna lie, I'm just gripping on and fighting. Said I,
I wanna play, won't you come through?
I know that we're not supposed to. I don't care, no, I don't mind.
I just wanna hold it one more time. 'Cause I said, never meant to hurt you.
Only meant to give you something more.
Lately I don't deserve you.
But you know it ain't felt like this before. No, I never meant to love you.
Carrying all this feeling inside. Said I've tried,
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried. You go saying that our love's a disaster.
They ain't wrong, say it's over, done after, love.
My bro said to leave it behind. But they don't know what it's like when I hold you late at night. Said I,
I wanna play, wanna spiral.
Your teddy stays, but it's my rules. 'Cause I know just what you like.
Baby, let me come and get what's mine. 'Cause I said Never meant to hurt you.
Only meant to give you something more. Lately I don't deserve you.
But you know it ain't felt like this before.
And I never meant to love you, love you, darling. Carrying all this feeling inside.
Said I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried.
Yo, it was perfect matrimony. Now you act like you don't know me.
I know it's true, girl, you don't owe me. I thought at least we could be homies.
But that's okay, girl, I'll be fine. Block my number, I don't mind. Messed up one too many times.
But would you care for a glass of wine?
Arms stretched out, could we make the peace? Might double back, would you wait for me?
Laid in the trap, will you change the key? Looking at a map was an A to B. I mean, crazy me.
I know I never moved faithfully. Lost hearts with a vacancy. Now you're blaming me.
Crossed paths and we paid the fee. And the one to blame is me.
Never meant to hurt you. Only meant to give you something more.
Lately I don't deserve you. But you know it ain't felt like this before.
I never meant to love you.
Carrying all this feeling inside.
Yeah, I've tried.
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried. Yeah.
Oh. Yeah, I know.
Ooh, hey.
