Fall For You
Slushii & sapientdream Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I promised myself I'd never fall for you
Because time has taught me what you would do
'Cause I waited for you through
The sorrow and pain
But you played me a fool, a fool in the rain

And I ask, "Why?"
Why did you forget me? Why did you regret me?
And I scream, "Why?"
Was I a mistake you couldn't erase?
Tell me the truth tell me the truth

You promised yourself you'd never
Fall for me you said one day
Your tears would fall from the sea
I couldn't wait for you because
It hurt me so much
And now you're gone, now you're gone
Now love, you're gone

And I ask, "Why?"
Why did I love you? Nothing but trouble
And I scream, "Why?"




Was I a mistake you couldn't erase?
Tell me the truth tell me the truth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Fall For You" by Slushii & sapientdream delve deep into the emotional turmoil and introspection that comes with unrequited love and heartbreak. The singer begins by reflecting on how they had promised themselves not to fall for the other person, aware of the potential hurt that could come from such a relationship. However, despite their initial reservations, they find themselves deeply invested in the other person, waiting through sorrow and pain only to be deceived and played for a fool. The reference to being a fool in the rain could symbolize feeling exposed and vulnerable in the face of betrayal or disappointment.


The questioning and pleading in the lyrics reflect the confusion and desperation that often accompany unreciprocated feelings. The singer asks "Why?" repeatedly, seeking answers for why they were forgotten and regretted. This sense of rejection and unanswered questions intensifies the emotional weight of the song, as the singer grapples with feeling invalidated and discarded by someone they cared for deeply. The insistence on knowing the truth suggests a need for closure and understanding, even if it brings painful revelations.


The second stanza shifts perspective, with the other person acknowledging their own struggles with falling for the singer despite their initial reluctance. They had made a similar promise to themselves not to fall for the singer, anticipating the eventual heartache and tears that would follow. The contrast between the two perspectives highlights the complexity of emotions involved in such situations, where both parties may find themselves unexpectedly entangled in a web of conflicting feelings and unmet expectations.


The repeated questioning of "Why?" and the plea to "Tell me the truth" underscores the universal themes of self-doubt and the quest for clarity and honesty in relationships. The lyrics capture the raw vulnerability and self-examination that come with navigating the aftermath of a love that was never fully realized. Ultimately, "Fall For You" encapsulates the bittersweet journey of grappling with unrequited love, betrayal, and the quest for emotional closure and healing.

I promised myself I'd never fall for you
Because time has taught me what you would do
'Cause I waited for you through the sorrow and pain
But you played me a fool, a fool in the rain

And I ask why
Why did you forget me? Why did you regret me?
And I scream "Why?"
Was I a mistake you couldn't erase?
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

You promised yourself you'd never fall for me
You said one day, your tears would fall from deceit
I couldn't wait for you because it hurt me so much
And now you're gone, now you're gone, now you're gone

And I ask why
Why did I love you? Nothing but trouble
And I scream "Why?"
Was I a mistake you couldn't erase?
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

Me prometí que nunca me enamoraría de ti
Porque el tiempo me ha enseñado lo que harías
Porque te esperé a través de la tristeza y el dolor
Pero me hiciste el tonto, un tonto bajo la lluvia

Y pregunto por qué
¿Qué?
