Waterfall
Saint Lu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told you when we started
I would leave you broken hearted
But you didn’t listen to me, did you? no
Made it loud and clear
But you didn’t wanna hear
And now you swear you never gonna let me go?
The best laid plans
They never have a change oh no
The best laid plans
They slip right through

What you're gonna do about it?
Now that I’m falling like a waterfall
Can’t you see?
What you're gonna do about it?
I guess you got me going after all
Falling like the water over me
Over me

I told you all those lies
Looking straight into your eyes
Said those words that
Always worked for me before
But you shattered every wall
That I’ve built. Said I won’t but now I will
Only made me want you more
The best laid plans
They never have a change
The best laid plans
They slip right through

What you're gonna do about it?
Now that I’m falling like a waterfall
Can’t you see?
What you're gonna do about it?
I guess you got me going after all
Falling like the water over me

Thought I’d be better off with nobody
To complicate my life
Thought I’d be better off but I’m sorry
You got me

Falling like a waterfall
Falling like a waterfall

Now what you're gonna do about it?
Now that I’m falling like a waterfall
Can’t you see?
What you're gonna do about it?
I guess you got me going after all
Falling like the water over me

Falling like a waterfall
Over me
Falling like a waterfall
Over me
Falling like a waterfall




Over me
Falling like a waterfall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Saint Lu's song "Waterfall" talk about the consequence of a broken promise. The singer warns her significant other right at the start of the relationship that she will leave them heartbroken, but they don't pay heed. Now that she's broken her promise, the significant other doesn't want to let her go. The singer then talks about how her best-laid plans have slipped through, and she finds herself falling like a waterfall, unable to control the situation. She admits to telling lies and using words that have worked for her in the past. However, the significant other seems to have shattered all the walls she had built to protect herself.


The singer also suggests that she thought she'd be better off without anybody and that somebody would only complicate things more. But she's proven wrong when she finds herself falling like a waterfall. The lyrics suggest a sense of vulnerability and helplessness that the singer can't control; it's as if she is swept away by the tides of destiny. The song's title also references this helplessness, with the waterfall being a force of nature that you can't ignore or control.
