Lyrics meaning

The singer is heartbroken after being left by someone he loves. He calls himself โ€œcrazyโ€ for feeling lonely, sad, and worried, and for continuing to love someone who has moved on. The emotion develops from sadness and uncertainty into a painful recognition that his love could not keep the other person with him.

โ€œCrazyโ€ is an emotional exaggeration, not necessarily a claim that he has lost touch with reality. It expresses how unreasonable or overwhelming his feelings seem to him. The idea that his love could โ€œholdโ€ the other person suggests he hoped affection would keep them together, though love cannot control another personโ€™s choices. His questions about what he did show that he is searching for a reason, even though the lyrics do not provide one.

The singer blames himself for trying, crying, and loving, but this may reflect the pain of rejection rather than a fair judgment of his feelings. He also seems to have expected the relationship to end someday, which makes the loss feel both anticipated and difficult to accept. The repeated ending leaves his feelings unresolved: he recognizes that his love did not keep the person, yet he has not stopped loving them.
