I Don't Love You
My Chemical Romance [ The Black Parade ] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whoa

When you go
Would you even turn to say
I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday

Well come on, come on

When you go
Would you have the guts to say
I don't love you
Like I loved you yesterday

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

I don't love you




Like I loved you
Yesterday

Overall Meaning

The My Chemical Romance song "I Don't Love You" is a melancholic and emotional ballad about the end of a relationship. The song starts with the singer telling their partner that they don't need to try to convince them to stay when/if they leave because they won't fight for their love anymore. The singer then explains that they'll probably be looking for a new way to move on. The chorus is where the crux of the song lies, as the singer admits that they don’t love their ex anymore like they did before.


The second verse is about the complications that arise when trying to make a relationship work. The singer has pleaded and begged for their partner to change their ways and end the beating that they've sustained, but it never happens. Even when the person they once loved is brought to their lowest, they never have the courage to admit their flaws, and that’s where they’re destined to stay. The singer then suggests that eventually, their past mistakes will catch up to them, and the cycle of destruction will continue.


Overall, "I Don't Love You" is a poignant and moving portrait of a relationship that has ended. It speaks to the painful crawl of time when trying to recover from heartache, the unbearable weight that comes with an ended relationship, and the tension between feeling nothing and everything at once.


Line by Line Meaning

Well, when you go
If you decide to leave, don't expect me to convince you otherwise


Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
I won't beg you to stay, it's your choice to make


And maybe when you get back
If you return, I may have already moved on from you


I'll be off to find another way
I'll explore different options and take another path in life


And after all this time that you still owe
Despite owing me so much, you still haven't changed your ways


You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
You're still a worthless person that I can't understand or respect


So take your gloves and get out
Leave and never come back, you're not welcome here


Better get out
It's in your best interest to leave now


While you can
Before it's too late and you regret staying


When you go
If you leave me behind


Would you even turn to say
Would you bother to look back and speak to me


I don't love you
I no longer have any romantic feelings towards you


Like I did
The way I used to love you in the past


Yesterday
Our past relationship that's now over


Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
I often break down in tears from begging you to change


So sick and tired of all the needless beating
I'm exhausted from enduring your constant mistreatment and abuse


But baby when they knock you
When the world brings you down


Down and out
When you hit rock bottom


It's where you oughta stay
That's where you belong because of your actions


And after all the blood that you still owe
Despite owing me everything, you continue to take more from me


Another dollar's just another blow
Every time you take something else of mine, it hurts more and more


So fix your eyes and get up
Stop wallowing in your problems and do something about them


Better get up
You need to start taking action now


While you can
Before it becomes impossible to do anything about it


Would you have the guts to say
If you were to leave me, would you be honest enough to tell me you no longer love me


I don't love you
I can no longer say that I love you


Like I loved you yesterday
The love that I had for you in the past is no longer there

Lyrics

Well, when you go
So never think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
When after all this time that you still owe
You're still a good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Baby, get out while you can
When you go
And would you even turn to say
I don't love you like I did yesterday
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you down and out
Is where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another time was just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Baby, get up while you can
When you go
And would you even turn to say
I don't love you like I did yesterday
Well, come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you like I loved you yesterday"
I don't love you like I loved you yesterday
I don't love you like I loved you yesterday

"I Don't Love You"

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still a good-for-nothing, I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out while you can

When you go, and would you even turn to say
"I don't love you like I did yesterday"?

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby, when they knock you down and out
Is where you ought to stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up while you can, whoa, whoa, whoa

When you go, and would you even turn to say
"I don't love you like I did yesterday"?

Well, come on, come on!

When you go, would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you like I loved you yesterday"?!

I don't love you like I loved you yesterday
I don't love you like I loved you yesterday

My Chemical Romance Lyrics

"I Don't Love You"

Well, when you go
So never think, I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

Well, after all this time that you still owe
You're still a good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say,
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday."

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and sad of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
Is where you ought to stay

Well, after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whoa

When you go
Would you even turn to say,
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday."

Well, come on, come on

When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you

Yesterday

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
