You Don't Love Me
Temporal Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you know how hard I tried
You don't need me
And it makes me feel like
Cryin′ all the time
I feel like I'm dyin'
Since you walked out that door
You don′t love me no more
Baby please
You know I wouldn′t leave you
Or do you harm
Oh you got the key
Woah, you're holding the key to my heart
Baby please give me a reason why
Oh baby we had to part
Oh my lonely heart
Since you ain′t been around
I feel like the sun's disappeared
Well I′ve been feeling so down
And my eyes are drowning in tears
Every moments feeling darker
Every moment you're not here
I′m drowning in tears
You've got those eyes
How they hypnotize me
For you I'd do unspeakable things
But you won′t stop telling lies to me
I saw you with another man
I heard about those things that you said
And I miss your sweet kiss
Lord, I miss you so
What happened to the one I used to know
′Cause I'm a prisoner
Of your love
You′ve got me locked up
But I'm just one of
A lot of people that you bruised and bled
With your mistreatin′ ways
I'll be prayin′ you don't get to my head
Drive me insane
So I'm countin′ the days ′til you see things my way
It's as though my love is a crime
I′m doing time
The first thing that stands out in the lyrics of "You Don't Love Me" by Temporal Love is the juxtaposition between the singer's feelings of love and desperation and the apparent lack of feeling from the person they are addressing. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize that the person they love does not reciprocate those feelings and has likely moved on to someone else, leaving the singer feeling abandoned and alone despite their efforts to hold on to the relationship. This contrast between unrequited love and abandonment creates a sense of heartbreak that runs throughout the song.
In the chorus, the lyrics take on a more pleading tone, as the singer begs for some reason to hold on to hope that their love will be returned. The lines "Baby please give me a reason why / Oh baby we had to part" express a desperate need for closure, a sense of confusion about why the relationship ended, and a desire to understand what went wrong. The lyrics in the verses paint a picture of a person whose world has been shattered by the loss of the one they love, while the chorus speaks to the need for an explanation or some hope for a future together.
Overall, "You Don't Love Me" by Temporal Love is a powerful expression of heartache and loss. The lyrics effectively communicate the emotions of a person whose world has been turned upside down by the end of a relationship, and the chorus adds a sense of pleading that makes the song all the more compelling.
