Mean It Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lauv]
Small talk, no conversation
That look makes me impatient
I can't tell what you're thinking
Please, tell me what you're thinking
Last night,  we were more than fine
Just tell me if you changed your mind
If you changed your mind (Mind)

[Pre-Chorus: Lauv]
'Cuz I'm all, I'm all in
I'm calling, no answer
Would you text me when you feel like?
When it feels right to you
But I'm all, I'm all in
I'm falling faster
But if you're looking at me with a heart of doubt

[Chorus: Lauv]
Don't kiss me right now
Don't tell me that you need me
Don't show up at my house
All caught up in your feelings
Don't run me 'round and 'round
Don't build me up just to let me down
Just to let me down, down, down (Hey)
Don't mess with my head
Don't tell me you're falling
With your feet still on the ledge
I'm all out of breath
Baby, don't run me 'round and 'round
Don't kiss me, no, don't kiss me right now
On your lips, just leave it
If you don't mean it

[Verse 2: Paul Klein]
Oh, yeah
You know you got me in the palm of your hand
But I love those hands
Oh, yeah
But you only let me hold you when he can't
Yeah, I don't understand

[Pre-Chorus: Paul Klein]
'Cuz I'm all, I'm all in
I'm calling, no answer
Would you text me when you feel like?
When it feels right to you
But I'm all, I'm all in
I'm falling faster
But if you're looking at me with a heart of doubt

[Chorus: Paul Klein]
Don't kiss me right now
Don't tell me that you need me
Don't show up at my house
All caught up in your feelings
Don't run me 'round and 'round
Don't build me up just to let me down
Just to let me down, down, down (Hey)
Don't mess with my head
Don't tell me you're falling
With your feet still on the ledge
I'm all out of breath
Baby, don't run me 'round and 'round
Don't kiss me, no, don't kiss me right now
On your lips, just leave it
If you don't mean it

[Bridge: Paul Klein & Lauv]
Hurry home, let's never leave the house
(But you don't mean it)
Let's stay in bed while all our friends go out
(But you don't mean it)
Why you let those words come out of your mouth?
(If you don't mean it)
You've been staring at me with a heart of doubt (Ah)

[Chorus: Lauv & Paul Klein]
Don't kiss me right now
Don't tell me that you need me
Don't show up at my house
All caught up in your feelings
Don't run me 'round and 'round
Don't build me up just to let me down
Just to let me down, down, down (Hey)
Don't mess with my head
Don't tell me you're falling
With your feet still on the ledge
I'm all out of breath
Baby, don't run me 'round and 'round
Don't kiss me, no, don't kiss me right now
On your lips, just leave it
If you don't mean it

Lyric Snapshot

"Mean It" by Lauv featuring LANY explores the turbulence of a relationship marked by mixed signals and uncertainty. The song’s context revolves around the emotional struggle of one partner who feels misled and confused by the other's inconsistent behavior. The theme centers on the plea for genuine affection and clarity, with the narrator expressing frustration over superficial gestures that lack sincerity. The message is clear: don’t offer love or commitment if you don't truly mean it. Critics appreciate the song's raw portrayal of emotional vulnerability and the tension between desire and doubt. The emotional tone is a blend of frustration and longing, highlighted by the repeated plea not to be misled or let down. Imagery in the lyrics, such as "don’t kiss me right now" and "with your feet still on the ledge," vividly illustrates the precariousness of the relationship and the internal conflict of staying or leaving. Symbolism is evident in the "heart of doubt" which represents the underlying mistrust and hesitation. The personal interpretation reflects a universal experience of wanting honesty and authenticity in romantic relationships, resonating with anyone who has faced the pain of unfulfilled promises and emotional manipulation.
