You
Candlebox Lyrics

I'll never know, I'll never care, I'll never believe my people
I'll tell you what I say
I'll never lie, I'll never try, I'll never cry for you people

As you lonely people
Keep on runnin' 'round my door
Yes, you lonely people
Keep on beggin', beg for more

And I'll cry for you, yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Feel in my heart, it's for you

It's for you
Only you
It's for you

I'll never try, I'll never die, I'll never push for you people
I'll tell you how I feel
I'll never lie, I'll never cry, I'll never try for you people
I'll tell you, yes, it's real

And you lonely people
Keep on passing time away
Yes, you lonely people
Keep on passing, pass away

And I'll cry for you, yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Feel in my heart it's for you

And I'll take everything as it comes my way
Pushin' your pain 'round my door
And I'll I cry for you as I die for you
Is this blood on my hands all for you?

You shiver and shudder, recovers your mother
You feel it take control
All alone
Feel alive
In your soul

Come around town, steal another dime, take another line
Won't you feel it blanket your soul out of mind
Come around town, steal another dime, do another crime
Won't you get it higher and higher, all through time

Come around town, steal another dime, don't you push your drugs in my face
Yes, I feel it, feeling fine
Don't you push your drugs in my face or I'm gonna put you in your place
Fuck you, I don't want it no more

And it's mine
Said this pain in my heart, it's all mine
Yes, it's mine
All alone

Oh, I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more

And it's mine
On my own
Yes, it's mine
All alone

As I cry for you, yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart, it is real
And I'll take everything as it comes my way
Feel in my heart it's for you

And I'll lie for you as I die for you
Pain in my heart, it is real

And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Fuck you, it's for you

The lyrics of Candlebox's "You" are a complex mix of emotions, reflecting the singer's love and anger towards someone. The song starts by emphasizing how the sensations the singer experiences are 'for you,' whoever the addressee might be. At the same time, he takes a dismissive tone towards other people, refusing to care about them and 'pushing them away.'

The chorus is where the intensity bursts out - the singer cries and dies for this person, bearing the pain in his heart that he feels is real. He is ready to take everything as it comes and is willing even to lie for this person, portraying a deep devotion. However, this love is mixed with frustration towards drug users; the verses describe how these 'lonely people' come and beg for more, while the singer refuses to push for them.

Towards the end of the song, the singer voices his determination not to be part of this drug scene anymore, stating that he doesn't want it no more. However, the focus remains on how the sensations he feels in his heart are for the addressee.

Overall, "You" is a mix of love and frustration. The lyrics chart the extremes of this person's influence on the singer - from complete devotion to anger over their repeated drug use. Despite the intensity of these emotions, the song suggests that the singer keeps going, experiencing everything that comes his way.
