"The way you treat me like the only
Slightly brings me down a lot"
I can't figure out if it's "like the only" or "lightly only"; are these lyrics 100% confirmed? I can see both ways making sense ("the way you treat me lightly" could mean not being taken seriously, and "the way you treat me like the only" could mean being treated well).
Either way, I just love those words, and I don't know why. "Only slightly brings me down a lot" sounds like he's trying to downplay the problem. Which makes me think of when someone asks you if you're okay and, though you're not, you say you're fine, and it sort of comes out like, "Yeah I'm fine, except, well, not at all really"
I find these lyrics exquisite. There are no traditional end-of-the-line rhymes, but the patterns of internal vowel sounds and "R" sounds are complex and beautiful.

I always heard it as "like the only." I think it's more open-ended that way, and that it fits better in the structure of the rest of the lyrics. However I agree, either way, that the line is profound.
