Rachael Lampa - Loving You Lyrics
Lyrics
I gave you the best of me and you throw it all away
So much time and energy oh what a waste
Pages of my life I wish that I could erase
Pieces of my broken heart that I can't replace
Maybe I,I got in deeper then you wanted to go
Maybe I,I should've seen it coming I should've known
Maybe I,I loved you way too much
thats where i went wrong
S.O.S I need some help I cant save myself, no
I wish I could stop my heart from lovin you
I do, I do cause nothing ever seems to work
Didnt know love was supposed to hurt
Lovin' you is killen me
Symbol of gravity safe for a soul
Without roots the tallest tree is going to fall
Nothing you can do to stop it
Nothing you can do to save it
Best thing for me to do it
Get outta the way
I wish I could stop my heart from lovin you I do, I do cause nothing ever seems to work Didnt know love was supposed to hurt Lovin' you is killen me
(Killen me)
Every look is (killen me)
Every Touch is( killen me)
Every single kiss is (killen me)
I try to get away cause im dying everyday
My mind says leave but my heart says stay
I wish I could stop my heart from lovin you I do, I do cause nothing ever seems to work Didnt know love was supposed to hurt Lovin' you is killen me

Meaning & Inspiration
Rachael Lampa's "Loving You," featuring TOBYMAC and released in 2022, stands as a poignant exploration of the devastating aftermath of a relationship that has soured, leaving one deeply wounded. The song delves into the raw pain of unrequited or ended affection, where immense personal investment feels utterly squandered. Lampa articulates a sense of regret and self-blame, questioning if her own depth of feeling was the misstep, as captured in the lines that suggest she may have loved "way too much." This echoes the scriptural wisdom found in Proverbs 4:23, which urges us to guard our hearts above all else, for they are the source of life. The artist’s plea for help, crying out "S.O.S. I need some help, I can't save myself," is a powerful testament to human vulnerability, a cry that resonates with David’s lament in Psalm 13:1: "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?" The core struggle of the song lies in the internal battle between the rational mind urging departure and the heart clinging to the past, a conflict vividly described as the heart wishing it could cease its "loving you." This internal dissonance speaks to the profound difficulty of releasing an attachment that has become intertwined with one's very identity. The metaphor of a tree without roots unable to withstand storms powerfully illustrates the instability that can result from misplaced affection and a lack of grounding, reminding us of Jesus' parable in Matthew 7:24-27 about building one’s life on the solid rock of His teachings, rather than on shifting sand. The repeated assertion that "Lovin' you is killen me" is not mere hyperbole but a desperate articulation of the soul's agony, where every interaction, every memory, becomes a source of pain. This intense suffering can be understood through the lens of spiritual warfare, as described in Ephesians 6:12, which acknowledges our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces that can seek to oppress and destroy. Ultimately, "Loving You" is a raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak, but within its vulnerability lies an implicit invitation to seek a love that truly heals and sustains, a love like that promised in God's unwavering grace.
