I Don't Love You Like That
Jypsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jypsi's "I Don't Love You Like That" is a breakup song with a positive twist. The song is about letting someone go even though you care for them deeply. The lyrics suggest that one doesn't want their loved one to suffer as they have, so they're willing to let them go, even if it means walking away from love. The singer is reassuring their partner that they shouldn't blame themselves for the situation and that they have no regrets about their time together. They acknowledge that love can be unpredictable and that it's hard to tell how strong it can get or where it will lead, but ultimately they are willing to let go of their love and wish their partner would find what they need, even if that means not being with them.
The singer explains how there are two kinds of love in the world: the selfish, possessive kind that never wins, and the selfless, sacrificial kind that is willing to let go if it means their loved one will be happier. The chorus repeats that the singer doesn't want their partner to worry about them or come saving them because the water is too deep, and they don't love them in that way. It's clear that the singer wants what's best for their partner and that they're sacrificing their own desires for the sake of their partner's happiness.
Overall, "I Don't Love You Like That" is a mature and compassionate break-up anthem that acknowledges the complexities of love and relationships.

Therefore, don't blame yourself either
AS EASY AS THESE THINGS GET STARTED
It's very easy to start feeling something for someone
THERE'S REALLY NO WAY TO TELL
But there's no way to predict how far it will go
JUST HOW FAR IT WILL GO
Or how strong it will become
JUST HOW STRONG IT CAN GET
And sometimes, the love ends up being one-sided

MORE THAN I WANT YOU TO STAY
Rather than wanting you to stay for me
I WISH YOU COULD FEEL WHAT I'M FEELING
I wish you could understand what I'm feeling
BUT I DON'T' WANT YOU HURTING THAT WAY
However, I don't want you to suffer in the same way I am
'CAUSE THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF LOVE IN THIS WORLD
There are two types of love that exist
THE SELFISH KIND IT NEVER WINS
The selfish kind of love never ends well
AND AS HARD AS IT IS LETTING GO NOW
Although it's difficult to let go now
IT WOULD KILL ME TO WATCH YOU PRETEND
It would hurt me to see you pretending to love me
OH NO, I DON'T LOVE YOU LIKE THAT
Therefore, I don't love you the way you want me to

I've just recently started hearing this song on my local radio station. I've never heard it on any other station. It is a beautiful song and I really like it. If it doesn't gain the attention it deserves now, I hope it is rediscovered.

Actually, if you look up the history of this band or know anything about them like I do personally you would know it was how they were raised. It's no gimmick! They are genuine JYPSI'S!!!
