The lyrics to Ne-Yo's song "You Don't Love Me" explore the theme of deception and a lack of true love in a relationship. The singer is expressing their realization that their partner has been lying to them and hiding their true feelings. The first verse talks about the accumulation of lies, with the partner looking them in the eye and claiming to be loyal, yet the singer struggles to trust them. The use of a disguise symbolizes the façade the partner has been wearing, which the singer eventually sees through.
The chorus emphasizes the main message of the song, with the repetition of "you don't love me." The singer is firm in their belief that the partner's words don't matter because their actions and behavior demonstrate a lack of genuine love. The partner is unable to hide or deny their true feelings, and this realization leads the singer to conclude that there is no reason to stay in the relationship.
In the second verse, the singer confronts the partner about their constant denial and refusal to give a reason for their actions. They question if it's because of another girl, symbolized by the lipstick. The singer admits to being in their own world, holding on to false hope, but now they finally recognize the truth.
The final verse represents the singer's newfound confidence and self-assurance. They state that they feel good about themselves and have moved on from the partner. There is no more waiting or wondering about the partner's intentions. The singer asserts that they will be fine on their own and no longer cry at night. They have accepted that the partner doesn't love them and are at peace with this realization.
Overall, "You Don't Love Me" is a song that explores the theme of dishonesty and lack of true love in a relationship. The lyrics depict the singer's journey of discovering the truth and finally accepting that they deserve better.

This song hit me to my core. Going through a 5 year breakup 💔, but I know it will all get better in time. I've missed r&b that made you feel something. This song does that.
