Love Me Tender
Fausto Papetti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me

The chorus then begins, showcasing the person's belief that their loved one doesn't have to say they love them, but just be close by their side. They understand that their loved one might not want to stay forever, but they just want them to be close and not leave them alone.
The second verse talks about how the person is left alone, with nothing but memories of their loved one. They feel as though they are in a trance, with life seeming unreal and all they feel is loneliness. However, they still have hope and cling onto the belief that their loved one can still be there for them without them having to say they love them.
Overall, the lyrics of this song convey the feeling of loneliness and longing, but also the hope that the love between the two people can still be present without explicit declarations of love.

When I said I needed you
When I expressed that I required your presence and care
You said you would always stay
You assured me that you would always remain by my side
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
I did not modify my behavior, but you did, and as a result, you left me alone
Don't you see that now you've gone
Are you not able to comprehend that, now that you are gone
And I'm left here on my own
I am the only one here, without your company
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
I must pursue you and implore you to return
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to utter affectionate words, merely be in proximity to me
You don't have to stay forever I will understand
You can leave eventually, and I will manage to grasp your decision
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
Trust me, I am genuinely in love with you, and it is beyond my control
But believe me I'll never tie you down
I assure you that I will never restrict or confine you
Left alone with just a memory
Abandoned and exclusively possessing a mere recollection
Life seems dead and quite unreal
Existence seems stagnant and implausible
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
What remains is loneliness, and there are no other emotions felt
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to voice your love, just remain near me
You don't have to stay forever
You are not obligated to remain eternally
I will understand believe me, believe me
I assure you that I will not blame you, trust me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to articulate your affection, just be present
You don't have to stay forever
You do not need to remain permanently
I will understand, believe me, believe me
Please be convinced that I will accept and comprehend your decision
