Love Me Less
Greer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no else unless that someone is you, you, you

I intend to be independently blue
I want your love but I don't want to borrow

I have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love but there's no love for nobody else

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Love Me Less" by Greer speak to the desire for independence and self-love in a romantic relationship. The first verse expresses the sentiment that the singer would rather be alone than be with somebody else who doesn't truly love them. In the second verse, the singer reflects on the notion that while others may find the night time suitable for intimacy, they prefer to use that time for reflection and thought, hinting at a desire for emotional connection rather than physical.

The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer intends to remain independent and true to themselves, even if it means not receiving love from anyone else except the person they truly care for – "There'll be no else unless that someone is you, you, you." The final line of the song drives home this point, emphasizing that while the singer's love belongs to their partner, there's no room for love from anyone else.

Overall, the lyrics of "Love Me Less" convey a sense of self-reliance and a refusal to compromise oneself for the sake of romantic love. The singer values their independence and emotional depth, and seeks to find a partner who can appreciate and reciprocate these qualities.
