I Don't Love You
The Piano Tribute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You
[Chorus]
But I need You to love me, and I
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me
I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how much You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me
[Chorus]
Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
[Chorus]
The lyrics to The Piano Tribute's song "I Don't Love You" reveal a sense of shame, unworthiness, and a request for unconditional love. The singer expresses confusion over why their partner is still with them, despite their past mistakes and misjudgments. They want to run from their mistakes and hide, but ultimately confront the truth - that they don't deserve their partner's love. In the chorus, the singer begs for their partner's love, acknowledging that they won't keep their heart from them this time. They also admit to pretending that they can somehow deserve the love that they already have.
The verses go on to explain that the singer has been pushing their partner away for a long time, blind to the fact that their partner has always cherished them. The bridge is about the transformative power of love. The love that the singer's partner has for them makes them forget who they have been and see who they really are. It's a song of redemption, a plea for love and acceptance, and an acknowledgment of past mistakes.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE LYRICS
Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You're still a good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
Is where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whoa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
