Kaiser Chiefs – Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning) Lyrics 2 years ago
This song is about the sense of trying to please your partner and do everything to make them "happy" but it still not being enough, and they're always charging.

"I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard
It all before"
This shows that they feel that they are always disappointing their partner, and already said multiple times that it wouldn't happen again.

"The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here"
The trick is to be the person you want me to be, for you to think I'm the one.

"I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore,
When every good thing that I do is listed and you're keeping score"
I don't even know if I do things because I actually want to, or just because I know that you're demanding.

"Love's not a competition but I'm winning"
Love shouldn't be this way, everything feels "forced". I feel like I'm going out of my way a lot to make you happy.

"At least I thought I was but there's no way of knowing,"
At least I felt like I was doing a lot of efforts, but I don't really know if you recognize them or if they are enough for you anymore.

"You know what it's like when you're new to the game but I'm not"
In the beginning it was easier for you to appreciate me, I felt secure in that sense. But as the time passes, you seem harder and harder to please.


I've been listening to this on repeat for the last days for some reason. I love this song!
