Don't Make Me Fall in Love
Basic Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I waited way too long to say a thing
Sure I accept that I was sad, so I guess now it's not so bad
I lost the memories deep inside my head
Show me that tonight I'm only yours and no one else's
Too blind to see sometimes that you're the one
Now I see you're everything or just maybe my nothing
They say that nothing lasts forever
My bed was meant for two and now I'm missing only you
Or was this spot reserved for no one more
My lonely days are here
I don't think I see you here
I wish that I could sleep until forever
I don't think it's hard, just to tell me that you love me
But you're far away from here and have my heart
So shoot me with the bow that cupid's quiver has one more
The last time I might get to fall in love
The lyrics to Basic Black's song Don't Make Me Fall in Love describe the frustration and ambiguity that can come with burgeoning romantic feelings. The singer expresses regret over waiting too long to share their feelings with a potential love interest, and now they're left with memories that they struggle to make sense of. Despite this, they yearn for a commitment from the other person - to show them that they're the only one they want to be with. The lyrics convey a sense of uncertainty about the other person's feelings, and the fear that this might be their last shot at falling in love.

Due to my frustration
Out of feeling dissatisfied or annoyed,
I waited way too long to say a thing
I took too much time to express my thoughts about us,
Sure I accept that I was sad, so I guess now it's not so bad
I acknowledge that I was upset but it's alright now,
I lost the memories deep inside my head
I forgot the precious moments we shared,
Show me that tonight I'm only yours and no one else's
Prove to me that you want me for yourself without interference,
Too blind to see sometimes that you're the one
I don't always recognize that you are the right person for me,
Now I see you're everything or just maybe my nothing
I'm not certain if you mean to me or not, but now I realize you're important,
The last time I might get to fall in love

People often say that things come to an end eventually,
My bed was meant for two and now I'm missing only you

Or was this spot reserved for no one more
Perhaps it was never intended for anyone else to occupy your place beside me,
My lonely days are here
Currently I'm feeling lonely,
I don't think I see you here
I'm not sure if you're present with me or not,
I wish that I could sleep until forever
I wish I could sleep indefinitely to escape from reality,
I don't think it's hard, just to tell me that you love me
Expressing love to me should not be too difficult or complicated,
But you're far away from here and have my heart
Even though you're not close to me, you have my affection,
So shoot me with the bow that cupid's quiver has one more
I'm ready to be struck with the love arrow one last time,
The last time I might get to fall in love
I understand that this could be my final opportunity to fall in love,
