Don't Let Me Fall
Lenka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
But if I should break, if I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take, a little of the weight
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Take a little time, walk a little line
Got the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight
We will be alright, I'll be by your side
I wont let you down
But I gotta know, no matter how things go
That you will be around
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
You'll be the one that I'll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
But don't let me fall
Lenka’s "Don’t Let Me Fall" is a romantic song expressing feelings of vulnerability and the need for support from someone special. The song tells a story of a person who is hesitant to trust their heart to someone else again, but is also hopeful and willing to take the risk. The song opens with the singer offering their heart and hand to the person they love, seeking support and reassurance that they will not fall apart. The lyrics reveal a sense of insecurity as the singer asks what he/she will do if he/she falls away, expressing a need for someone to share the weight of life’s challenges. The chorus acknowledges that the person is the love of the singer’s life and is the one he/she has been waiting for, but also pleads with the person not to let them fall.
The second verse encourages the person to take time and maintain balance in their lives, while also offering the love that is needed to hold on tight. The song’s bridge shows the singer’s willingness to be there for the person they love and they need to know that the person will also be there for them. The last chorus echoes the same sentiments expressed throughout the song, again urging the person not to let the singer fall, and promising to love and hold them high above it all.
The song’s message of trusting someone and the need for emotional support is something that many people can relate to, especially those who have been hurt in the past. The song encourages people to be vulnerable and take risks, but also to look for love that is willing to embrace their vulnerabilities.
