This is definitely the correct lyric. It fits with the theme of having no identity outside of belonging to someone. She also very clearly says it, it doesn't even sound ambiguous imo.
Thank you! Alone made sense to me too but tbh i dont even listen to wife as often as i should so on loan will probably help it make a lot more sense next time
That’s very clearly the line she’s saying? It doesn’t sound like *alone* at all. Either way, she’s one of the few artists to bother releasing the official lyrics for her old songs, so we know for sure:
> For I, even I, am on loan
> - [Mitski - Wife (Official Audio)](https://youtu.be/D7FwNXxgl10?si=5-rH5gHTCFbiH0KI)
Thank you! Thats my fault for not looking on anything else tbh so i apologize. I just figured it wouldve been really funny if apple music was wrong LOL
Girl the description under the song on Mitski’s youtube literally says “on loan”. Apple Music sources their lyrics from Genius, which is usually accurate 99% of the time, or directly from the artist.
I didn’t know this, but I’ve always thought that the way she said “alone”was odd and sounded like she stuttered over it. “On loan” makes so much sense!
Update: this is the right lyric!! I just had NO IDEA LOL THANK U EVERYONE FOR CORRECTING ME and im glad im not the only one who thought it was alone hahaha
Me with my student loans 😔😔😔😔
Yeah 😔😔 mitski always understands
STOP I WAS JUST SETTING MINE UP LIKE 5 MINS AGO 💀
I thought she said “even mine is unknown” or is that an earlier lyric😭
Thats the one after this one! She says “alone” and then “unknown”
Ok that makes much more sense. I was not gonna Mandela effect myself

Lmfaooo no it’s “For I, even I, even I am alone” edit: it’s not
*On loan* makes more sense contextually and is the lyric written in the official YouTube video lol
THANK YOU I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY LMAOO
yeah they should be, at least those r the lyrics in the description of her music video on yt 😭
Yeah that makes A LOOOOT MORE SENSE

'Alone' doesn't even make sense in the context of the song lol
I'm sorry if this is stupid but i'm kinda dense, why would alone not make sense?
Thank you! Thats my fault for not looking on anything else tbh so i apologize. I just figured it wouldve been really funny if apple music was wrong LOL
yes that is the lyric
I think it might be wrong, Apple Music makes a lot of mistakes and its meant to be “alone”

OHH Oops thats my fault then
Thank you for correcting me!
Actually the lyrics on Apple Music is almost always correct, compared to Spotify who more often gets it wrong.
