Since I Fell For You
Love Potion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so, and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm so in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night




Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Since I Fell For You" by Love Potion is a soulful ballad that describes the pain of a person who has fallen in love but has not received love in return. The lyrics suggest that love can bring both happiness and sorrow, and the person singing is experiencing the latter. The lines "When you just give love and never get love, you'd better let love depart" indicate that the singer knows that holding on to unrequited love will only lead to more misery. However, the next line "I can't get you out of my heart" shows that the person is unable to let go of their feelings, no matter how much it hurts.


The second verse describes how the person's happy home was left behind when they fell in love. The line "Love brings such misery and pain, I guess I'll never be the same" reinforces the idea that falling in love has changed the person forever, and they may never recover from the impact of unrequited love. The chorus repeats the title of the song, emphasizing the fact that the person is still suffering since they fell in love.


The third verse expresses the futility of the situation. The lines "You love me, then you snub me, but what can I do? I'm so in love with you" describe the mixed signals that the person is receiving from their love interest. The person knows that they are being treated poorly, but they are unable to walk away because of their strong feelings. The final line "I guess I'll never see the light, I get the blues most every night since I fell for you" sums up the hopelessness of the situation. The person is resigned to their fate and knows that their love will never be returned.
