A poignant exploration of complex emotions, VanderWaal's song delves into the dichotomy of love and dislike. It narrates a tumultuous relationship where love persists amidst constant disagreements and emotional drain. The lyrics depict how one can deeply care for someone yet dislike their actions or behaviors, creating an internal conflict. This struggle is further intensified by the unwillingness of both parties to compromise or choose 'the higher road'. Despite this conflict, the protagonist continues to prioritize her partner, indicating an unyielding bond. However, she resorts to silence as a means to prevent further disputes, reflecting the painful reality many face in problematic relationships. Ultimately, VanderWaal encapsulates a profound truth about human relationships - that love doesn't necessarily equate to liking someone all the time.
I Don't Like You
Lyrics
Here we go again in the same story
We follow the routine until we say "I'm sorry"
Hands are shaking till I just look down at the floor
Face is turning red and eyes are going puffy
You ask me why we yell and I come up with nothing
Your insecurities are pulling you back
But please know, oh, oh
I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
We pour our souls out about the past months
By just trying to talk about lunch
And every single thing you say is gonna start a new war
And I'm exhausted from this tug of war of words
And when you said "I don't care for you" it got worse
We both know it isn't working but I still put you first
'Cause I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you
Ooh
We both refuse to lose
We both refuse to choose the higher road
Which way we go, oh oh, oh oh
And ooh (ooh)
We both refuse to lose (lose)
We both refuse to choose the higher road
Which will we go, oh oh, oh oh
'Cause I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(And ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(We both refuse to lose)
(We both refuse to choose the higher road)
Oh, oh
(Which will we go)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I just don't like you
