Theme[]
The song is about Mia always hurting the things she loves; thus, when she falls in love, it leads to her being so lovesick she almost wants to hurt the person she is in love with. She states that "kissing isn't quite enough" and as reflected in the video, seemingly goes insane and murders her lover. Mia has stated that the song also symbolizes loving and hating someone at the same time and the conflict between the two emotions.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I saw a puppy in the park, reminded me of you
Tried to hug it really hard, I think I left a bruise
Always hurt the things I love, but I'm never meaning to
Never meaning to
[Pre-Chorus]
Kissing isn't quite enough
[Chorus]
I love you so much, I wanna punch you in the face
I love you so much, I wonder how your blood tastes
I love you so much that it could even be mistaken for hate
When I say that I love you, oh, I love you
I love you so much, I wanna punch you in the face
[Verse 2]
Think I'm coming on too strong with my hands around your neck
Only wanna love you wrong 'cause at least you won't forget
If you find another one, she's a patch of nicorette
And I'm the cigarette
[Pre-Chorus]
Kissing isn't quite enough (Quite enough, it's not enough)
[Chorus]
I love you so much, I wanna punch you in the face (Oh, no, no, no)
I love you so much, I wonder how your blood tastes (I wonder, I wonder)
I love you so much that it could even be mistaken for hate
When I say that I love you, oh, I love you
I love you so much, I wanna punch you in the face
(Oh, no)
[Bridge]
Does my love scare you?
'Cause it scares me too
Nothing I wouldn't do
Does my love scare you?
'Cause it's true
[Chrous]
I love you so much, I wanna punch you in the face (I love you)
I love you so much, I wonder how your blood tastes (I love you so much)
I love you so much that it could even be mistaken for hate
When I say that I love you, oh, I love you (I love you, I love you)
I love you so much, I wanna punch you in the face
