I Love You Lyrics

You made your bed now lie in it
You masochist of mayhem
This mortal coil is up for grabs
Danger forever

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities inside you head
Now I would swear that there must be a thousand possibilities to mend your heart

Now take these words
And tie them up
And give them back
Give them back

For I
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
I love you

You call collect and I reject
Your foul abuse and your language
Where's your sense of etiquette
Could you assess the damage

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities inside your head
(And I swear) I would swear that there must be a row of possibilities to mend your heart (There must be) (In your heart)

Now take these tears
And cry them in
Your pillow dear
And I'll be near

For I
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
I love you

(Take these tears)

(Away from me now)

(Take these tears)

(Away from me now)

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities inside your head
I would swear that there must be a row of possibilities to mend our hearts

Now take these tears
And cry them in
Your pillow dear
And I'll be near

For I
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
I love you

(Take these tears)
(Away from me now)
(Take these tears)
(Away from me now)
(Take these tears)
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
Love you
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
Love You
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
Love You
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
Love You
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
Love You (I love you)

I feel you

Danger forever

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities inside you head
Now I would swear that there must be a thousand possibilities to mend your heart

And give them back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Oh no, this page has the lyrics of the wrong song. It has the lyrics of "Love to Hate You" instead of "I Love You" currently, but I submitted the correct lyrics. I'm gonna write my interpretation of "I Love You" anyway.

"You made your bed, now lie in it, you masochist of mayhem." It means these are the consequences of your own actions. "A thousand personalities inside your head" kind of self-explanatory, your behaviour and thoughts change often. Like you can be nice one moment, a jerk the next moment, be sad and regretful the next. "A thousand possibilities to mend your heart" they have hope for you even if you have done bad things, they think you can do better than this. They've been trying to not let your actions get to them. They still understand you and love you despite everything you've done. You feel genuine remorse for your actions. "Take these tears away from me now" means they're hurt and sad too, but they believe you can stop making them like this. "Take these words, and tie them up, and give them back, for I..." they want to know you see, hear, feel and love them too. Sadly relatable from both perspectives.

@BlueLight439 "A thousand possibilities to mend our hearts" means they think you both can be fixed. Does this website not have comment edition option?? Ugh... What a mood ruiner...
