Treat You Better - Tumblr Posts
Shawn Mendes 😭❤️🙌🏻
Do I ever cross your mind? // And I’m not trying to ruin your happiness // But darling, don’t you know that I’m the only one for you?
Love this Shawn Mendes song! I love the John Mayer-esque style of this song, and the raw emotion he has. Shawn Mendes has really grown since Handwritten, and this song from Illuminate highlights that perfectly. Not only does his songwriting have a lot more emotional depth, not that Handwritten didn’t have a lot of great songs, but his voice has become a lot better. His slightly raspy tone mixed with those guitar riffs really makes this song so special. He captures the turmoil in these lyrics perfectly. This song is definitely one of the best on Illuminate, even though it doesn’t get as much credit as his other singles.
Me, a confused nine year old, not being able to speak a single word in English, while listening to Shawn Mendes: “Okay, I get that ‘treat you better’ point, but who the fuck is Gen Norman?”
