The only song by Imagine Dragons that I absolutely cannot stand! I just hate it. Awful. Deleted it from the album and I am going to pretend that it never existed. Sorry if you like this, but I don't. Love ImagineD otherwise, though!
This song just seems much more like "pop" than the others. It sticks out like a sore thumb on an otherwise excellent album. Redundant song with repetitive lyrics and a poor musical backing. Even his voice sounds more auto-tuned. Everything about this song is simply unappealing. I love Imagine Dragons because their lyrics are truthful and the songs are real. This one's about a guy lusting after a girl like every other boring song on the radio. No heart. No gut-wrenching truth here. Just sh*t.

Molly, it may seem like that on its own, but I think in the context of the rest of the album this song is much more than what you see on the surface.
So much of this album is about struggling with anxiety and depression, and this song fits in with that.

"Searching to find myself
But all I find is you
I can hardly stand myself
So what am I to you?
If you can find a reason
You could let me know
I won't blame you
I'll just turn and go"

At least in my experience...
At least in my experience with depression, so often you feel like you are worthless, not good enough, undeserving of love and filled with self-hatred.
It seems to me that this song, like many of the others, is about a very specific part of the healing process. It's about slowly letting go of self-hatred and learning to accept the love of others (in this case, probably romantic love specifically).
This isn't just a bland, pop-esque love song.
There have been so many times in romantic relationships that I have expressed to a lover that I know I'm worthless, and give them a chance to opt out of being with me because I don't want to inflict myself on them. That seems to be where this song is going, except that the chorus changes direction and shows that the narrator is making the commitment to accept love and be vulnerable.

Would love to hear why and not just a proclamation of the fact. I accept that you don't like it, but I'm curious as to why.

I am also curious to why you hate it

I may be off, but that's how I interpret it.
