its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I would love to love you like you do me
I'd love to love you like you do me
I met you on a sunny autumn day
You instantly attracted me when asking for the way
God, if I had known the pain I'd make you feel
I would have stopped this thought of us and turned upon my heel
Though you should leave me
Time, make it be alright
Though you must leave me
Believe me when I tell you
I would love to love you like you do me
I'd love to love you like you do me
There's a pillar in my way you see
I'd love to love you like you do me
You recognized my barrier to love
I know there's nothing worse than unrequited love (unrequited love)
So I prayed to God that I could give the love you gave to me
But something's lying in my way, preventing it to be
Though you should leave me
Time, make it be alright
Though you must leave me
Believe me when I tell you
I would love to love you like you do me
I'd love to love you like you do me
There's a pillar in my way you see
I'd love to love you like you do me, yeah
I would love to love you like you do me
I'd love to love you like you do me
But there's a pillar in my way you see
I'd love to love you like you do me
Break those pillars down
Break those pillars down
(Love to love you like you do me)
Break those pillars down
(Love to love you, love to love you, love to love you)
Take those pillars down
(Love to love you, love to love you)
(Love to love you, love to love you)
Take those pillars down
I'd love to love you like you do me
I met you on a sunny autumn day

God, if I had known the pain I'd make you feel

Though you should leave me

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It does not seem to me like the narrator of the song is arrogant or purposely leading her suitor on. In fact, she really likes and is attracted to him, but she is not in love (yet?). The man, however, is very much in love with her and she knows it is hurting him that his feelings are not reciprocated. She feels somewhat guilty and tries to comfort and soothe him, maybe even meaning what she says when she claims that she would love to love him too. At the end of the song she tells him to break down the pillars standing in the way of her loving him back, so if he tries really hard, she just might come round in the end. Ok, maybe she is leading him on just a bit :-)
