Out of Love
Alessia Cara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it might be selfish
I won't ask you to hold me
'Cause that won't mend what's helpless
There's not a thing I could say
Not a song I could sing
For your mind to change
Won't ask you to stay
But let me ask you one thing
Oh, when did you fall out of love?
Out of love
Oh, when did you fall out of love with me?
I can't float in an ocean
That's already been drained
I won't cry at your feet now
I know my tears will fall in vain
There's not a thing I could say
Not a song I could sing
For your mind to change
Nothing can fill up the space
Won't ask you to stay
But let me ask you one thing
Oh, when did you fall out of love?
Out of love
Oh, when did you fall out of love with me?
No use wondering
While your change in heart has wandered
So I ask you this question
'Cause it might help me sleep longer
Oh, when did you fall out of love?
Out of love
Oh, when did you run out of love for me?
Out of love (out of love)
Out of love (out of love)
Out of love with me
The first verse of Alessia Cara's "Out of Love" describes the singer's hesitation to express her feelings of loneliness and need for comfort. She fears that asking for love or attention would be selfish because she knows the other person's heart may not be in the relationship anymore. In the chorus, the singer asks the other person when they fell out of love with her. She expresses a deep sense of loss and confusion, as if everything was going well and suddenly everything was over. Her frustration is palpable when she says that there's "not a thing I could say" or "not a song I could sing" that could change the other person's mind. She knows that she can't make them stay but still wonders when they stopped loving her.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that she can't force the other person to love her. She says she can't "float in an ocean that's already been drained" and that crying and pleading won't help. The chorus repeats, the singer imploring the other person to answer the question of when they fell out of love. She seems to hope that the answer will provide some closure and help her move on from the relationship.

If you guys need to talk about it, you can contact me.
Confiding will help you a lot and it is even easier when you do it with a stranger. I wish I had someone to talk to at that time ..
Don't think the reason for your sadness isn't important because if it makes you sad, it is important.

Me, less so than you but I am very cautious and examine very carefully before I would pick a girlfriend (I do not have one yet and review on a very careful basis if I were to) but essentially by avoiding women that are man-eaters (or men that are woman-eaters) breakups would occur less
@elyzalex2271
