You Don't Love Me
Melo B. Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever I will understand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me

Despite the pain, the singer still loves their partner and is willing to forgive them if they would just come back, even if it's only for a short while. The repetition of the line "You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand" reinforces the idea that the singer just wants their partner's presence, even if their love is no longer there.

When I said I needed you
I expressed my need for you

You said you would always stay
You promised to always be with me

It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
I haven't changed, but you did, and you left me alone

Don't you see that now you've gone
Do you realize that now you left me alone

And I'm left here on my own
I'm all by myself now

That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
I need to chase after you and plead for you to come back

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't need to say you love me, just be near me

You don't have to stay forever I will understand
You don't need to stick around permanently, I'll accept it

Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
Trust me, I love you involuntarily

But believe me I'll never tie you down
But trust me, I won't restrict you

Left alone with just a memory
Abandoned with only a memory

Life seems dead and quite unreal
My life feels lifeless and surreal

All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
Only loneliness remains, I feel nothing else

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't need to say you love me, just be near me

You don't have to stay forever
You don't need to stick around permanently

I will understand believe me, believe me
Believe me, I'll accept it

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't need to say you love me, just be near me

You don't have to stay forever
You don't need to stick around permanently

I will understand, believe me, believe me
I'll accept it, trust me
