LYRICS
I don’t know what happens
but it must be pretty bad
When I can’t find your eyes, I walk home unsurprised
I’m smaller - and I’m mad
i’ll mourn over a weekend
you’ll lose me then
You panic a little
then you’ll want me again
God knows I love you
I’ll let these things be
But I don’t know if I like you
When you do these things to me
now when you touch me
I curl up my spikes
But you stroke them down and I’ll come around as you ask me what I like
And you’ll kiss me like I’m everything
Something in me comes undone
And I’ll wake up in the morning
Knowing once again you’ve gone
God knows I love you
I’ll let these things be
But I don’t know if I like you
When you do these things to me X2
To be honest I don’t blame you
cause when you put me on the side
I clench my fists like a baby
Yeah I scream like a child
Yeah I’ll teach you a lesson
Mark my stupid words
Maybe I’ll break the cycle
Maybe I’ll break you first
god knows you love me
These things must be true
But I don’t know if you like me
When I do these things to you

The harmony in this is FANTASTIC
THANK U O HARMONY GOD CHARLES
good to see charles here - surely it’s dodie analysis video time? 👉🏼👈🏼
@@zenayla9179 yes pls!!
A dodie analysis would be fantastic! Would 100% watch.
@@zenayla9179 ^
“maybe i’ll break the cycle, maybe i’ll break you first” ow oh my god- the amount of weight two lines can hold, incredible lyricism
dodie you're of those artists that's nailed the idea of "the more specific the story is, the more universal it becomes" because your music (both the instrumentals and lyrics) is very specific to you but it is universal and versatile in meaning and emotion? like both your january song and february song is somehow exactly how i've felt for the past month and hearing your verbalize it in your lyrics and the instrumentals it blows my mind every time!
ahhh this is so nice ♥
good god dodie u never miss. this is brilliant i’ll be listening to it on repeat for months. the versatility of your writing!! “to be honest i don’t blame you” ARGHHHHHh “mark my stupid words”
Wanna tell me why you just put my entire brain into a melody and made everything make sense ?
I can definitely see Lizzy in this song - especially the beginning when you’re singing your higher notes a bit stronger. Cool to see how you two rub off on each other
Omg yes this one is definitely Lizzy inspired !!!!
Surprising haunting melody/harmonies, gorgeous and relatable lyrics. "Now when you touch me, I curl up my spikes. But you stroke them down and I'll come around as you ask me what I like..." This song gonna become a new favorite of mine for sure
Somehow you always have the best timing when it comes to these songs. Or perhaps it's that these feelings are more universal than we think. There's always people hurting and yet we always feel we're the only one going through this. "God knows I love you, I’ll let these things be. But I don’t know if I like you when you do these things to me". God that line hurts so much. Thank you for making me feel less alone in the hurt.
:”) xx
Please do a song with Lizzy McAlpine. I think your voices would be a perfect match :D
lizzy is on tour w/ her. she's the opening act. they've also done a cover together
@@nia.j I know they are on tour, far far away from me though :)
Do you have a link or a name for the cover? :)
@@Foodgeek search for "fireside singsongs" w lizzy, dodie and jacob. And I remember there's an OLD video with only dodie and lizzy, but I couldn't find
BRB PLAYING THIS FOR MY THERAPIST
I can only apologise for the mix lol my ears are so TiREd from shows forgive me they will be better one day : D
it sounds amazing regardless!!! keep up the insanely beautiful work!
literalmente cállate, está perfecto, como siempre 🥹
Holy shit this song is next level, dodie. Some of my favourite lyrics you’ve ever written. I can see myself getting obsessed with this one. 💕
The change of perspective at the end is fckin delicious
I'm so excited for this song, January's, and hopefully the rest of the year's songs to hit Spotify
Imagine a 12 song album after the year is over ahh
@@ceciliahorner2664 the way the year has gone so far, i think i would actually cry 😂
@@stressedandunimpressedYeah it would be a sob soundtrack for nearly an hour 😅
And this is why I prefer UA-cam Music overall.
@@ebensirges Why? 👀
literally dodie has been my comfort artist since quarantine started and i dont think i will ever stop listening to her. she inspired me so much with my music too
Definitely helped me through this era of covid as well. One of my favorite artists of all time.
Exactly me too I owe a lot to her.
oh my God??? i got goosebumps the minute 1:03 just woah. that change caught me so off guard but in a good way. holy shit. i sometimes find this, like... tension? in some part of your songs (like this one) and IT’S SO GOOD you build it up so perfectly and i love it you’re amazing
dodie your music really has my heart in a death grip
you can feel so much power in her voice towards the end when she says “I’ll teach you a lesson”
such good shit dodie, lov u
i literally screamed "YES!" when i saw the video come out. tysm dodie for making my day (:
there are many amazing songwriters, but no one NO ONE writes like you do dodie. you exist on a whole separate planet.
dodie’s voice is so soothing omg
At 1:05 I literally gasped and let out a “DODIE.” like the way you call a customer “Sir...” when they’ve just done something they shouldn’t have. Your talent is criminal™️ I love it omg
i will literally play this on repeat forever when/if this goes on spotify
2:27 the stare into the camera as you sing "but i don't know if you like me" gave me chills
hiiiiii i literally just commented on your behind the scenes but i came back after watching it to say that the way you describe this shit hits so deep in me. Lemme get on my dumb little soapbox for a second lool- but being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder I experience so much of those manic highs and deep deep lows. This song perfectly encapsulates how it feels to be in a situation or relationship where both people are struggling. You feel this deep hatred for the shit that you allow them to do to you and then you feel like exploding and "breaking" them, and then feel tremendous weird guilt about the way that you're handling it because you dont feel like you should be allowed to be angry. And the lows that I feel tend to make me feel like the worst person in the world, especially when i feel that ive broken them down after they broke me. its a weird balancing act between all of this. and you always but everything i feel into words. The manic highs and impulsive decisions in 4 tequilas down only to be met with the deeeeeeep hate for yourself and guilt in im sorry in build a problem. The depersonalization in before the line and your january song honestly i show to my therapist to help her understand how fucking painful it feels even if it feels a bit dramatic. because it does genuinely feel like the end of the world. The way you write these things and feel this pain and then go on tour and play your pain for us is so raw and real and i commend you for it. I dont know how you survive. Thank you for this, and i cannot wait to see you on march 24th for my birthday. I saw you in october of 2018 and it was seriously one of the best nights of my life. It feels personal. And maybe this is just wishful thinking, but when i went last time, I was at the front barricade close enough to touch the stage. and during one of your songs, everyone was singing and i was the only one loudly singing harmony to it. you smiled at me, or at least id like to believe you did, i was super caught up in the moment. I just hope you know how impactful it was. You inspire my music every time i write it.
Ok, that is a looooot of text lol but thank you anyone who has read it, and thank you dodie. much love and luck and cant wait for march's song (my birthday month heheh)
Happy early birthday! Sending you virtual hugs and lots of empathy. dodie has such a skill at putting experiences and all the complicated emotions tied up in them into words. I wish you a great (and safe) time!
Something about "maybe I'll break the cycle...maybe I'll break you first" followed by you changing the lyrics for the final chorus hits HARD. Like you just wrote what I feel about literally every single person I meet. Love you always Dodie
dear lord you just get better and better at writing music. I'm in love with your words!
I don’t know what happens
But it must be pretty bad
When I can’t find your eyes, I walk home unsurprised
I’m smaller - and I’m mad
I’ll mourn over a weekend
And you’ll lose me then
You panic a little
Then you’ll want me again
[Chorus]
God knows I love you
I’ll let these things be
But I don’t know if I like you
When you do these things to me
[Verse 2]
Now when you touch me
I curl up my spikes
But you stroke them down
And I’ll come around as you ask me what I like
And you’ll kiss me like I’m everything
Something in me comes undone
And I’ll wake up in the morning
Knowing once again you’ve gone
[Chorus]
God knows I love you
I’ll let these things be
But I don’t know if I like you
When you do these things to me
God knows I love you
I’ll let these things be
But I don’t know if I like you
When you do these things to me
[Bridge]
To be honest I don’t blame you
Cause when you put me on the side
I clench my fists like a baby
Yeah, I scream like a child
Oh I’ll teach you a lesson
Mark my stupid words
Maybe I’ll break the cycle
Maybe I’ll break you first
[Chorus]
God knows you love me
These things must be true
But I don’t know if you like me
When I do these things to you
tysm! sincerely, someone with an audio processing disorder
