I Dont Believe You
Pink愀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't mind at all
It's like you're the swing set
And I'm the kid that falls
It's like the way we fight
The times I've cried
We come too close
And every night
So it's gotta be right
Right?
[Chorus]
No I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all
I don't mind it
I still don't mind at all
It's like one of those bad dreams
When you can't wake up
It looks like you've given up
You've had enough
But I want more
No I won't stop
Because I just know
You'll come around
Right?
[Chorus]
Just don't stand there and watch me fall
'Cause I, 'cause I still don't mind at all
It's like the way we fight
The times I've cried
We come too close
And every night
The passion's there
So it's gotta be right,
Right?
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't believe you
Pink's song "I Don't Believe You" is an emotional ballad about a relationship that's come to a crossroads. The lyrics describe a situation where Pink is the one who's deeply committed to the relationship and doesn't want to give up on it. She compares herself to a kid falling from a swing set, which represents her vulnerability and dependence on the other person in the relationship. Despite the difficulties they're facing, Pink believes that their passion is still present and that they're meant to be together, hence why she repeats "it's gotta be right." However, the other person is telling her to stay away, but she refuses to give up and believes that they still need her in their life.
The chorus of "I Don't Believe You" expresses Pink's disbelief in the other person's words. She can't accept their claim that they no longer need or love her, and won't forget that they promised they wouldn't be apart. Despite their attempts to push her away, Pink will keep fighting for their relationship and won't stop until they come around. The song's bridge is almost a plea to the other person, begging them to not just stand there and watch her fall, because she's still willing to hang on to the relationship.
Overall, "I Don't Believe You" is a vulnerable and relatable song that reflects the struggle of holding on to a relationship that's falling apart. The lyrics acknowledge the pain of the relationship while still insisting that they're meant to be together, which makes for an emotionally powerful listening experience.
