The Taxpayers - I Love You Like An Alcoholic (One Last Kiss) (Lyrics) 

This song gives me an emotion that can't be replicated by any other group of sounds in the range of sounds humans can hear

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.

my toxic trait is that i still think this is a love song

1:10 "one last kiss, I love you like an alcoholic" why do I love that line so much?-

Some people literally cannot tell that this song isn’t a love song. People can interpret songs differently 😭

Now I can sing this because I would sing this about my toxic relationship

It's always the breakup songs that get stuck in my head.

Their voices do slay

To me this song represents jealousy and obsessive love. The image i see in my mind when listening to this song is the love interest (whoever it may be) is tied up But that's just at surface level. Listening to the lyrics and taking them in shows a new part of this song. It represents to me coming to the fact that you don't actually like someone and it was just either a platonic love or finding you dont love someone once you start dating them. Or maybe even bringing that obsessive love back in, realizing the love was not real and just idolization.

This song makes me feel an emotion that is not humanly possible

This song makes me think of a toxic relationship where they don’t really love each other anymore but they’re scared to let go of each other so they stay in the relationship in an obsessive way, trying to glue the relationship together but making it more toxic

How can people be hearing “I need you like I need a broken leg” and still think that this is a love song

1:10 the part ur looking for

I keep on watching this on repeat. To the fact so much I can now keep up on how fast they sing without a breath.

Why is this song so adictive?

Listening to this song full blast with headphone ain't enough, I need this in my book stream frfr

I was in a really toxic and borderline emotionally abusive relationship like this for two years from when I was seventeen to nineteen. Luckily we both stopped, we’re out of it now and we’ve moved on. 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.

I swear this sounds like the kind of song that would be in a musical.

In my head this is an enemies to lovers song, but it’s about enemies that are about to kill each other and are instead like ‘I love you but I hate you so much more’

It's not just a song, it's an entire story..

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.

the "when i, fell into ya " is so powerful, it makes me feel things

Who's listening in 2024? 👇

At first I thought this was a love song because of the edits made with this song but listening to the song itself a few times made me realize that I was very wrong.

In my head, that's totally a love song

It's July 2022 ! let's see how many legend and fans are stills listening to this masterpiece.....💜❤💫〽️

Me having this song in my head until I listen to it

I feel like "i love you like a melancholic" would fit well in this song.

I used to think this was a love song, but now that I see the lyrics I found out it was a break up song

My interpretations is "I'm obsessed with you, but we're both pieces of shit and I can't let you go, we're both fragile and broken, but I just want us both to suffer the way I suffer, together."

i wonder if they pay their taxes

no cause I love this song like an alcoholic, I just can’t get it out of my head

they know they arent good for eachother, but they always come back to eachother in the end

this 0:01 instrumental part gives me an unknown feeling i cannot describe, but it feels so good.

“One last kiss, I need to like a broken leg.” And at that moment I realised this wasn’t a love song 🫡

Good song it's my first time hearing it

I love this song sm It reminds me of the times I loved (not romantically) the people that just ended up hurting me.

I think this song is talking about two partners that loved each other at one point but as they got older they started to hate each other's company and habits

This song feels like it belongs in the 1980s

If you wear headphones, different instruments are in different ears

The only reason I love this song is that it reminds me of my addiction and how it effects me and how scarring it can be and how much it will hurt for that kill switch to go off for a couple of minutes

Me: there is no song that describes toxic love My friend: one last kiss

All day the only thing in my mind was just "YOUR SMILE, MY VEINS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY BLOOD PUMPING SO FAST MY GIRL IF LOOK GAVE HEART ATTACKS" on full volume being repeated over and over.

This gives me "I love you but I don't need you", vibes.

Zakochalam sie w tej piosence

I love this song bro!

it took me till this day to figure out this WASNT a love song

Im going to force my friends to learn to play this with me

This still sounds like a love song to me

Oh my gosh I just restarted the song when it got near the end and the transition was seamless 😮😮

This sing has been stuck in my head for forever

people who say this is a love song are walking red flags

1:09 this is the moment you're looking for, right? anyway i came here because of a inanimate insanity tiktok compilation i found lol

“one last kiss, I love you like an alcoholic” why do I love that line?

This song literally is a gut wrenching, romantic, sad, happy emotion that I can explain

I honestly dont care if this is about a toxic relationship or not its still a obsessive love song because thats how i like to listen to it 😫

One sentence "Art can be interpreted differently."

"I love you like a statuette" 😍 The girls voice ❤❤

My ex’s toxic trait is that this song reminds me of him-

[Verse 1] Heavy humid night, corner of Park and Main Cast that first glance: your smile, my veins At maximum capacity, blood pumping so fast My girl, if looks gave heart attacks The dangerous men in the shadows were like an audience, and even the meanest among them had a special little shine in their eyes when they saw us walk by Walked about twenty blocks talking about good bars and better towns than this one Kissed that first night, and then the rain opened up the sky to get [Chorus] One last kiss, I love you like an alcoholic One last kiss, I love you like a statuette One last kiss, I need you like I need a broken leg Verse 2] I was getting off the late shift Attempting to recover Crumpled up the bus pass Tossed it into the gutter Some handsome dark stranger You were standing there on the corner You had those compelling magnetized eyes you must have lost when you got older Seven blocks in, my fingers brushed your hand I blushed and you laughed, but you seemed a little sad I ain't one to jump a ship, but I absolutely knew I was six steps in when I fell into you [Chorus] One last kiss, I love you like a broken pot One last kiss, I love you like a pack of dogs One last kiss, I need you like I need a gaping head wound One last kiss, I love you like an alcoholic One last kiss, I love you like a négligée One last kiss, I need you like I need a broken leg

1:08 This is the Star of The Spotlight!

This hit different

When my father was getting arrested for child abuse this is the song I thought of

This song lives in my head rent-free

i havent heard this in such long time dude still love it

This song will always stay in my brain

1:00 i love it

A masterpiece right here ladies and gentlemen

i was listening to shame by mitski writing about my bad relationship with overworking myself and when I finished i realized how similar to this song it was, now its stuck in my head

"i need you like a need a gaping head wound" that's gonna be stuck in my head for a while

This song has been stuck in my head for forever, so I listened to it

Love this song

me encanta mucho AHHHH :3

“one last kiss, i need you like a broken leg” frfr, i need a broken leg too

We venting with this one!🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is now my favorite song ❤❤❤❤

I want to add this song to my main playlist but my parents listen to it and always make me explain the meaning of songs😭

I interpret this song as a couple who thought they loved each other until they were in a relationship. In the song, they talk about the others' looks and overall attractiveness but never talk about personality or actually genuinely liking each other. It's a relationship that's unhealthy but they just can't get out of it.

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH I FALL ASLEEP TO IT EVERY NIGHT ❤❤❤

oml i love this song so much 😭 idec what it’s about it’s such a good song

I LOVE THIS SONG I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT so good

"I need you like I need a broken leg.." - the most relatable line I've ever seen

My toxic trait is wanting my relationship back that was the definition of this song

My crush who likes me too sent me this and I like it by the sound of it she likes this song and it fits my humor

I'm just obsessed with this song❤

This song reminds me and my friend of Chucky and Tiffany's love life

Good song 🙂

My borderline disorder makes me addicted to this music

i love this song..

This song gives me the same kinda vibe as "I know you too well" by Reel Big Fish

About a year ago, here in my country, a girl called Ariane Oliveira was murdered by her "friends" while they put this song to play on the radio. One of the kids, the mastermind, said they did it 'cause she wanted to figure out if she was a sociopath and wanted to see if she would feel guilt, and they played this song to "set the right mood". Since then I feel bad every time I listen to this song. The victim's name, once again, was Ariane Oliveira, we can't forget. Ariane Oliveira.

This song is so good

This is my favourite song

Kinda giving Prince Snatcher and Princess Vanessa from A Hat in Time vibes
