Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)

The speaker regrets ending a relationship and now misses the person deeply. At first, they wanted to be free and failed to recognize how loving their partner was. After the separation, they are alone, unable to sleep, and replaying their choice in their mind. The emotional movement is from loss and confusion toward a clear admission of regret and responsibility.

“Lying in your arms” suggests closeness and comfort, which contrasts with the speaker’s present loneliness. “I drive myself crazy” is an idiom: the speaker does not mean they are literally becoming mentally ill, but that repeated thoughts of the breakup are causing intense distress. The line about having “only got myself to blame” shows that the speaker sees the pain as a consequence of their own decision.

The song presents the speaker’s regret strongly, but it does not tell us whether getting back together is possible or whether the former partner would welcome it. The speaker says they loved the other person but did not show it in time; this may express genuine understanding, or it may reflect how loss has changed their view of the relationship. The repeated phrases make the feeling seem trapped in a cycle of longing and self-reproach.
