Living In Fiction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then how come I can bring you to your knees?
Baby, you're not the one for me,
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
And if I'm not the one for you,
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do.
Oh honey if I'm not the one for you,
Why have we been through what we have been through?
In your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge.
If your gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge.
What are you waiting for?
You never seem to make it through the door.
And who are you hiding from?
It ain't no life to live like you're on the run.
Have I ever asked for much?
The only thing that I want is your love.
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge.
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge.
It's so cold out here
In your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless.
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge.
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge.
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge.
The lyrics to Living In Fiction's song Water Under The Bridge portray a relationship on the brink of falling apart. The main theme of the song is reassurance and communication between lovers whose relationship is hanging by a thread. The chorus, "If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently, don't pretend that you don't want me, our love ain't water under the bridge," is a plea to not abandon the relationship abruptly but to end things in a respectful and considerate manner.
The first verse sets the tone for the song by expressing confusion about the relationship's status. The singer admits that if their partner doesn't feel the same way they do, they should let go, but also wonders why they can still elicit such a powerful response from their partner if they're not the right one. The second verse is a call to action; the singer urges their partner to open up and stop hiding to fix what is broken between them. The bridge describes how the struggle of living in the "wilderness" of a damaged relationship can be grueling.
Overall, the song is a reminder that relationships, like everything else, take work, honesty, and mutual respect. The singer wants their partner to address the issues they're facing instead of running or leaving without warning, and they're begging for honesty and authenticity, even if it leads to heartbreak. Through this track, Living In Fiction reminds listeners that some loves are worth fighting for, despite the obstacles.

If you're not the one for me,
Then how come I can bring you to your knees?
If we're not meant to be together, why do I have such an effect on you?
Baby, you're not the one for me,
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
I know deep down we're not right for each other, but the thought of being without you scares me.
And if I'm not the one for you,
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do.
If I'm not the person you truly want, you need to let me go and stop leading me on.
Oh honey if I'm not the one for you,
Why have we been through what we have been through?
If we're not meant to be together, why did we go through all of this in the first place?
It's so cold out here
In your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless
I feel isolated and alone in your world, and while I want you to be my protector, not if it means you'll take unnecessary risks and hurt us both.
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge.
If you're going to end things, please be kind about it, and don't deny that our relationship was meaningful.
What are you waiting for?
You never seem to make it through the door.
What's holding you back from fully committing to our relationship? It feels like you're never fully here with me.
And who are you hiding from?
It ain't no life to live like you're on the run.
I sense that you're keeping something from me, and it's not healthy to live in constant fear and evasion.
Have I ever asked for much?
The only thing that I want is your love.
I'm not asking for anything extravagant or unreasonable, just your genuine love and affection.
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge.
Please acknowledge that our love was significant and worth something, not something to just forget and cast aside.
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge.
I need to hear you confirm that our love meant something to you.
