Nothing But Love
Onionz feat. Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heard every word as I stood out of sight
Just like a fool everything he believed
Nothin' but sweet lies she once told to me
Foolhearted boy, should I tell what I know
Just how she'll win love and then let it go
Too much in love and too far gone to see
Once he starts fallin' he won't want to stop
She'll build him up high and then let him drop
Down with the others who never could see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
Once he starts fallin' he won't want to stop
She'll build him up high and then let him drop
Down with the others who never could see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
In "Nothing But Love" by Onionz feat. Snow, the singer watches from a distance as their former lover embraces and kisses a new partner goodnight. The singer recalls how they too were once in love with this person, but it was all based on sweet lies. The singer is torn between wanting to warn their ex's new lover how they will eventually be hurt and feeling like it's not their place to interfere. The lyrics describe the cycle of how this person operates; they win love and then let it go, building their partner up before inevitably dropping them down like so many others before.
The singer's feelings are bittersweet as they watch from afar, knowing the pain that is to come but also recognizing that they themselves were once in this new lover's position. The phrase "nothing but sweet lies" is used repeatedly to emphasize the idea that love is not always what it seems and can be based on false promises. The repeated line "once he starts falling he won't want to stop" conveys the idea that this person has a certain charisma and ability to draw people in, only to bring them crashing down.
Overall, "Nothing But Love" highlights the pain and disillusionment that can come with romantic relationships based on false promises and lies, as well as the complicated emotions that come with watching someone you once loved enter into this kind of relationship again.

I watched as he held her and kissed her goodnight
I saw him embrace her and give her a goodnight kiss
Heard every word as I stood out of sight
I overheard every word they said while I surreptitiously observed them
Just like a fool everything he believed
He believed everything she told him like an imprudent person
Nothin' but sweet lies she once told to me
She only told me charming lies
Foolhearted boy, should I tell what I know
Should I reveal my knowledge, oh naive boy?
Just how she'll win love and then let it go
How she'll attract love and then relinquish it
Too much in love and too far gone to see
He's so in love that he can't see what's really happening
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
What I heard were only charming lies
Once he starts fallin' he won't want to stop
Once he starts falling in love with her, he won't be able to stop
She'll build him up high and then let him drop
She'll elevate his expectations and then shatter them
Down with the others who never could see
He'll end up like the others who were also unable to perceive the truth
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
All she told me were deceptive and appealing lies
