GAYLE, aka 22-year-old Taylor Gayle Rutherfurd, is giving us all another taste of her forthcoming debut album Observing Chaos with the arrival of the new single, “loving you is.” And well, just have tissues handy as you listen to it…
The artist notes, “I wrote ‘loving you is,’ about coming to terms with the fact that I didn’t know how I deserved to be treated. After taking five million steps back, I realized how frustrated I am for accepting behavior that no one should have to go through, and I’ll never let that happen to me again!”
Pre-save the new record here, due out September 18.
“loving you” Lyrics:
used to love it when we’d fight like grown-ups
you made me hate myself so i could love us
it’s funny when i think about it all now
you’d point out all the ways that i was fucked up
you’d say that im so lucky you’re a good one
it’s funny when i think about it all now
gave you every part of me
you don’t know what you can’t see
loving you is difficult
irrational
you hate when im emotional
manipulative
i feel like shit
with everything i try to give
i let you rip me all to shreds
i’m scared to make the same mistakes again
and i can’t even ask for help
or trust myself
i always chose your mental health
and you just want a girl
to make you feel ok about yourself
i let you rip me all to shreds
and i won’t make the same mistake again
i was just a kid and you knew that
didn’t take you much to make me feel bad
you made me do some things that i can’t take back
and i can’t stand that
i gave you every part of me
but you don’t know what you can’t see
loving you is difficult
irrational
you hate when im emotional
manipulative
i feel like shit
with everything i try to give
i let you rip me all to shreds
i’m scared to make the same mistakes again
and i can’t even ask for help
or trust myself
i always chose your mental health
and you just want a girl
to make you feel ok about yourself
i let you rip me all to shreds
and i won’t make the same mistake again
(again again again)
i feel bad for the next girl
who thinks that you can change
i feel bad for the next girl
that you beg to stay
i feel bad for the next girl
who’s gonna feel this way
who’s gonna feel this way
cause loving you is difficult
irrational
i hate that it’s so personal
manipulative
i feel like shit
with all the love i try to give
i let you rip me all to shreds
i’m scared to make the same mistake again
again again again
and i can’t even ask for help
or trust myself
i always chose your mental health
and you just want a girl
to make you feel ok about yourself
i let you rip me all to shreds
and i won’t make the same mistake again
