IOU Lyrics

I make you so sad, I know that I do
You came across blind, you came across blue
I treated you bad, neglected your mood
You nearly went mad, so I cut your eyes loose

Ah
La la la la la la, la la la la
I cut your eyes loose
La la la la la la, la la la la
Ah

There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth

I make you feel trapped, I broke it in two
You settle for less, I settled on you
I'm tryna realize, I'm tryna stay cool
You nearly went mad, so I cut your eyes loose

Ah
La la la la la la, la la la la
I cut your eyes loose
La la la la la la, la la la la
Ah

There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth

I was just a baby when you met me like an incompassioned baby
Living in a daydream, misbehaving, thought that you would come to save me
I wanted you again
La la la la la la, la la la la
Ah

There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth
There's no IOU, it doesn't matter what I do
You're gonna hit me with the truth, with the truth

What is the Meaning of IOU?

In this poignant reflection on a troubled relationship, Annabel Jones explores themes of regret, emotional neglect, and the harsh reality of facing the truth. The lyrics reveal a narrative where the protagonist acknowledges their role in causing pain and sadness to their partner. Lines like "I make you so sad, I know that I do" and "I treated you bad, neglected your mood" depict a self-aware but remorseful individual who realizes the damage they've inflicted. The recurring motif "There's no IOU" suggests that apologies or reparations are futile; the truth of their actions is inescapable and will inevitably come to light. The metaphorical phrase "I cut your eyes loose" symbolizes an attempt to free their partner from emotional torment, albeit too late. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of inevitability and acceptance that some wounds cannot be undone, emphasizing the lasting impact of one's actions on another's well-being.
