In this poignant ballad, the artist explores her journey from a toxic and controlling relationship to one that brings comfort and stability. The lyrics depict the struggle of recognizing manipulation and jealousy disguised as care in a previous relationship. She uses vivid imagery such as "homemade cooking" and "Sunday sleepin' in" to describe her new-found love, symbolizing warmth, security, and tranquility. The repeated phrase "I thought I knew what love was" underscores her realization about the distorted perception of love she had before. Ultimately, this song is about self-discovery and understanding true love's essence - it should feel comforting, respectful, and secure.
Feel like This
Lyrics
It's crazy how manipulation feels like
A soft blanket holding you tight
And every night, sleeping next to someone's
Just as warm as the gaslight
It's funny how jealousy sounds like
Somebody's worried 'bout you
And all that control takes on different roles
Don't realize the toll it takes on you
I've been to pretty dark places
Stuck in toxic situations
But you taste like stability and
That's new for me
Yeah, this feels like homemade cooking
Like backyard kissing
Like hold the door open and I laugh
But it's nice like Sunday sleepin' in
Baby, I'm leaning in
Conversations, I can tell that you're listening
I thought I knew what
I knew what love was
Guess I didn't know at all
'Cause I don't know what this is
But I think love's supposed to feel like this
(Ooh, ooh)
It's funny how I used to make excuses
Excuses as often as I breathe
Defending him, trying to defuse it
And it would only blow up on me
Yeah, I've been to pretty dark places
Stuck in toxic situations
But you taste like security and
That's new for me
Yeah, this feels like homemade cooking
Like backyard kissing
Like hold the door open and I laugh
But it's nice like Sunday sleepin' in
Baby, I'm leaning in
Conversations, I can tell that you're listening
I thought I knew what
I knew what love was
Guess I didn't know at all
'Cause I don't know what this is
But I think love's supposed to feel like this
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, this feels like not just for tonight
Not some quick goodbye
Tell me that you want me
And I know that you mean it like
Sunday sleepin' in
Baby, 'm leaning in
Conversations, I can tell that you're listening
I thought I knew what
I knew what love was
Guess I didn't know at all
'Cause I don't know what this is
But I think love's supposed to feel like this
