Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matilda's song Declarations of Love explore the vulnerability and hesitation that comes with confessing one's feelings to someone they love. The singer acknowledges that they have been foolish and hesitant in the past, but realizes that they cannot continue to live in fear of being rejected. They express their love for the other person while also acknowledging the potential for scaring them off.


The singer expresses their admiration for the person, describing them as everything they want. However, they are unsure of how to proceed and do not want to risk losing the other person by being too forward. The repeated phrase of "don't want to scare you with declarations of love" exemplifies the singer's fear of being rejected.


The song's chorus is both hopeful and fearful, as the singer admits that they do not know how to keep their feelings in check. They believe that the other person has the potential to be "something for the rest of our life's, life's, life's," but they are too scared to fully express their emotions.

I've been so stubborn been so weak
Said I don't need love
I've been so stupid look at me
What was I thinking of
I've been the queen of my castle
And I've been just fine
I've been avoiding the hassle
Of standing in line for
Someone like you
Now what am I gonna do
Don't wanna scare you
With declerations of love
But love I don't know how to lay low
Don't wanna scare you
But you should know that you're safe
Cause you're all that I want
You've been opening up
About being in love
You said that this could be something


For the rest of our lives, lives, lives
But I don't know what to do
Don't wanna scare you
With declerations of love
But love I don't know how to lay low
Don't wanna scare you
But you should know that you're safe
Cause you are all that I want
I reckon its about time
That I'm the one who's first in line
I'll stay if you want me to
But I won't say that I love you
Dont wanna scare you
With declerations of love
Don't wanna scare you
With declerations of love
But love I don't know how to lay low
Don't wanna scare you
But you should know that you're safe
Cause you're all that I want
