I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I think I'm gonna cry
'cause once you loved me
And I told you goodbye
And tonight I took one look at you
And my heart broke in two
Baby, Baby, I still love you
Baby, Baby, I still love you
I don't know what to say
I just can't tell you,
That I feel this way
I wanna hold you close to me
I wanna make you see
Baby, Baby, I still love you
Baby, Baby, I still love you
I do
How I wish I never let you go
How I wish I never hurt you so
Baby, baby I just never knew
I'd miss your kiss the way I do
Won't you let me make it up to you
Oh listen to me please
If it will help, I'll get down on my knees
'cause I'm just living for the day
When I will hear you say
Baby, Baby, I still love you
Baby, Baby, I still love you
I do
'cause once you loved me
And I told you goodbye
And tonight I took one look at you
And my heart broke in two
Baby, Baby, I still love you
Baby, Baby, I still love you
I don't know what to say
I just can't tell you,
That I feel this way
I wanna hold you close to me
I wanna make you see
Baby, Baby, I still love you
Baby, Baby, I still love you
I do
How I wish I never let you go
How I wish I never hurt you so
Baby, baby I just never knew
I'd miss your kiss the way I do
Won't you let me make it up to you
Oh listen to me please
If it will help, I'll get down on my knees
'cause I'm just living for the day
When I will hear you say
Baby, Baby, I still love you
Baby, Baby, I still love you
I do
