Lover
Lovefall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Faces on the wall painted in bright yellow and gold
I tried to ignore them before, it tainted my soul
You gone crazy you gone crazy
On repeat getting old
Your heart is so untouchable
Looking like a lost cause
Silence is the worst part
Cut me like a razor blade when I get soft
But you tangle my head whenever it feels like love
I know you keep a demon
You don't want to leave him
I can almost taste the hunger on your lip
Skin to skin I wish that I could be enough

Lover
You hid my heart in your shirt
You keep your arms around me cause it feels nice
But we both know that you're not mine
Oh lover
If only you'd seen me first
You keep your arms around me cause it feels nice
But we both know that you're not mine

Cover up the matches make believe I could replace
Not a centerpiece but too good to throw away
Bittersweet fantasy that you're calling my name
I keep holding the second place

Side road and some bull shit
I know you want something more
Lovers on the weekdays
You want real but I want closed doors
It's long days and worse nights
You hit me up on my line
You never follow through
It's hard to do what I do

Lover
You hid my heart in your shirt
You keep your arms around me cause it feels nice
But we both know that you're not mine
Oh lover
If only you'd seen me first




You keep your arms around me cause it feels nice
But we both know that you're not mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lovefall's song "Lover" are rich in imagery and emotion, as they express the pain and frustration of being in a one-sided relationship. The opening lines, "Faces on the wall painted in bright yellow and gold / I tried to ignore them before, it tainted my soul," describe how the singer is trying to escape from the memories of a past love, but their presence lingers on and affects her deeply. The repetition of "You gone crazy, you gone crazy / On repeat getting old" suggests that the singer is tired of the same old patterns and behavior from her current lover, and is slowly losing interest.


The lines "Your heart is so untouchable / Looking like a lost cause" highlight the distance between the two partners, and the fact that the singer can't seem to get through to her lover. The next line, "Silence is the worst part / Cut me like a razor blade when I get soft," suggests that the singer is hurt by her lover's lack of communication and emotional openness. However, despite all this, the singer can't help feeling the pull of her lover's desire, and "you tangle my head whenever it feels like love."


The chorus, with its repeated "Oh lover / If only you'd seen me first," expresses the singer's longing for a deeper connection with her lover, and her sadness that this may not be possible. The lines "You keep your arms around me cause it feels nice / But we both know that you're not mine" are particularly poignant, as they underscore the temporary nature of their relationship and the fact that the singer is ultimately not getting what she wants.
