Since i'm bored right now, here's my interpretation of the song: The verses that aren't chrous make it sound like a love song, but it's not. It talks about how they met, and how they think their relationship appears to outsiders. So, on the outside, their relationship doesn't seem so bad. Although in private, it's very toxic. Now that that's out of the way, I can talk about the chorus! The line "I love you like an alcoholic" implies that well, he loves her. But you have to stop and realize what kind of love does an alcoholic have for alcohol? Most times, they use it to cope. Use it to make all their problems go away, even if they know it's hurting them. Basically, they're addicted to it. So, he's addicted to her. "I love you like a statuette" a statuette is a small figurine that is usually made of marble or bronze. So, she thinks even though he may be something worthless on the outside, he's a prized possession to her. However, things that are small are usually easy to break. Therefore, she knows he'll break soon. She just doesn't want to leave him. "I need you like I need a broken leg" also "I need you like I need a gaping head wound" implies that he doesn't really need her, and he knows it, but he's so obsessed with her that he doesn't care. "I love you like a broken pot" broken pots are, broken. But most of the times, you've had that pot for so long. So, you keep using it and damaging that pot because you're obsessed with it and don't want to throw it away. Which is basically what he's doing to her. "I love you like a pack of dogs" everybody (well almost everybody) loves dogs, right? But notices how she says "pack" instead of one dog. Most packs of dogs live on the streets. They're often depicted as gangs in cartoons and such, but they're still dogs. So people still love them, even though they're dangerous. That's how she feels about him. "I love you like a négligée" now this one was hard, but a négligée is a thin, see-through women's night gown. That doesn't sound like it has much value. Which implies that she doesn't have any value, or faith in him anymore. But people still wear négligées, so she doesn't know how to get rid of him and doesn't want to get rid of him. Finally, the repeated line of "One last kiss" means that they were going to break up, or already thing break up, but kept coming back to eachother. TL;DR: Toxic relationship doesn't know how to break up.

[@Lolliana-tan]

Luv this interpretation!

[@mafuenaenthusiast]

i think negligee is more to the original meaning rather than the new one (that being women's wear) - a long necklace made out of beads or corals assembled out of carelessness or negligence.

Josh I hope you’re doing well. You’ve hurt me and I’ve hurt you. Hopefully you’re doing as well as I am now and will find a girl who brings out the best in you as I only brought out the worst and hopefully I’ll find a guy who will make me smile more than he makes me cry. I loved you like an alcoholic and now hopefully we’re both growing up and will do better.

For me, this sounds like one person thinks it's a healthy, happy relationship, while the other thinks that they are in control of the other, but neither are correct, it's just a toxic relationship that disguises itself as a cute little 'oh he may look insane but he's a nice guy' type of relationship. I can also oddly enough see this as Stockholm syndrome where a stalker took their victim out of blind rage, and has kept them there for months on months with both slowly thinking that it's totally normal.

Yeah, the portrayal it comes with can be very influential. I knew it was about a toxic relationship because I found it in a scene where a character tries to get her old friend back into their old, toxic friendship. "I need you like an alcoholic" can sound lovely at first, until one stops to think what kind of love an alcoholic has for the substance they're addicted to.

I interpret this song as a couple who thought they loved each other until they were in a relationship.
