Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I promise
I will keep you safe today
And this night
Cause you are my everything
You hold my life
In your eyes
Don't ask me
If I'm fine
I won't tell you
It would break your heart
I'll hold your hand but don't hold mine
I don't deserve your love
Hugs, your attention
Kisses, affection
I lied
Don't ask me
If I'm fine
I won't tell you
It would break your heart
When you wake up
Put on your make-up
I'll be gone
Don't ask me
If I'm fine
I won't tell you
It would break your heart
Hugs, your attention
Kisses, affection
I lied
Smiles, pretty faces
Dreams, gifts and roses
I cried
I won't ask you
If you're alright
You told me
And it broke my heart
The lyrics to "Love Letter" by Leona Lewis convey a complicated and tumultuous relationship. The singer assures their loved one that they will protect them from harm, emphasizing their importance and the depth of their connection. However, despite this declaration, the singer reveals that they are hiding their true emotions. They refuse to admit if they are fine because they fear it may hurt their loved one. They express feelings of unworthiness and guilt by not reciprocating the love and affection they receive, implying that they have lied and deceived their partner.
The lyrics take a darker turn in the second verse as the singer suggests leaving and disappearing. They insist that the other person won't find them when they wake up, implying a deep sense of shame and a desire to escape from the relationship. The repetition of not asking about each other's well-being reflects a lack of trust and communication in the relationship, leading to heartbreak for both parties.
Overall, "Love Letter" portrays the complexity of a relationship where one person is unable to be honest about their feelings, resulting in a cycle of deceit, guilt, and emotional pain.

In your eyes
I see my whole existence reflected in your gaze
Don't ask me
Please refrain from inquiring
If I'm fine
About my emotional state being satisfactory
I won't tell you
I choose not to disclose
It would break your heart
As revealing my true feelings could cause you pain
I'll hold your hand but don't hold mine
While I am willing to offer support, I feel undeserving of your affection
I don't deserve your love
I believe I am not worthy of your affection
Hugs, your attention
Physical embraces and your focused interest
Kisses, affection
Acts of intimacy and expressions of love
I lied
I have not been truthful
When you wake up
Upon your awakening
Put on your make-up
Apply cosmetics to your face
I'll be gone
I will no longer be present
Smiles, pretty faces
Expressions of happiness and attractive appearances
Dreams, gifts and roses
Aspirations, presents, and symbols of love
I cried
I shed tears
I won't ask you
I will refrain from inquiring
If you're alright
About your well-being
You told me
You informed me
And it broke my heart
Which caused me immense sadness
