Love Me Instead
Moira dela Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just walked past me
Dreamed you just said you loved me
My heart is down on one knee
How do I move on from here
My heart is missing a half beat
I accidentally stepped on your feet
Someone pinch me is this real
Hold me I'm falling
Save me I'm drowning
Baby just maybe
Maybe you can love me instead
Can't get you out of my head
I want you here till the end
Till all these fairytales come true
Can you love me instead
Can't live just being your friend
I'll hold your hand till the end
Won't you hear me say I love you
Again and again and again and again
can you love me instead
Can't keep up you wont stop talking
All I hear is you proposing
Can you be my happy ending
Maybe take a chance on me
Hold me I'm falling
Save me I'm drowning
Baby just maybe
Maybe you can love me instead
Can't get you out of my head
I want you here till the end
Till all these fairytales come true
Can you love me instead
Can't live just being your friend
I'll hold your hand till the end
Won't you hear me say I love you
Again and again and again and again
You walked away I couldn't remember
What you said but I saw a number
On a tiny piece of paper
with "Maybe take a Chance on Me"
Hold me I'm falling
Save me I'm drowning
Baby just maybe
Maybe you can love me instead
Can't get you out of my head
I want you here till the end
Till all these fairytales come true
Can you love me instead
Can't live just being your friend
I'll hold your hand till the end
Won't you hear me say I love you
can you love me instead
can't get you out of my head
i want you here till the end
till all these fairytales come true
can you love me instead
Oooh... Love me love me love me
wont you here me say iloveyou
again and again and again and again
can you love me instead...
Love Me Instead by Moira dela Torre talks about unrequited love and the struggle of moving on despite an intense attraction to someone. The song starts with the singer seeing the person she's attracted to walking past her, and she dreams of that person admitting their love for her. Her heart "is down on one knee," indicating her vulnerability and openness towards the other person. She mentions that her heart is missing a beat and that she accidentally stepped on the other person's feet, signaling the disorientation of strong emotions. The singer wants to know how to move on from that moment as it affects her deeply.
As the song progresses, the singer pleads with the other person to love her instead. She feels like she can't live without the other person and wants to be more than just friends. She wants the other person to take a chance on her and be her happy ending. The chorus repeats that sentiment, with the singer pleading for the other person to love her instead of just being friends. The song ends with the singer finding a piece of paper with the other person's phone number and the message, "Maybe take a chance on me."
Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing for someone who doesn't feel the same way. It captures the struggles that come with unrequited love, such as wanting more than friendship, hoping for the other person to take a chance, and feeling like you can't move on. The chorus is particularly powerful in showing the singer's vulnerability and desperation for the other person to reciprocate her feelings.
