Trouble Lyrics

Cover art for Trouble lyrics by Halsey

definitely about an abusive/toxic relationship.

there's a lot of questioning going on, as that's what happens in these type of relationships....you start to wonder whether or not this person is worth all your time, love & energy. it's rough.

part of her still loves him ; "set a fire in my head tonight" and "i wouldn't leave you if you let me" that's where the abuse part comes in.

at the same time though, she knows it's toxic and unhealthy. "i've got my mind made up this time" and "i bet you kiss your knuckles right before they touch my cheek"

she also questions whether or not this person loves her as well. "would you bleed for me" & "would you beg or would you crawl, stick a needle in your hungry eyes for me"

such lines make you think that this person is only there for a sexual/sadistic reason...they aren't looking for love at all.

i adore this song, it's very sad and beautiful. ash almost sounds like she's gonna cry while singing it. raw emotions at their best.
