Waterfalls
The Wldlfe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do you mean love?
Do you mean you're leaving Me?
Well I thought that we had plans for the summer
But I guess not, guess not
And I don't think that I can take you much longer
Am I dumb to think I wasn't good enough
Well I guess not, guess not
Everything's coming loose at the seams
I'd be lying if I said that I was doing fine

You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls
You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls

I'm in my room thinking of You
And you're somewhere
At the bottom of the bottle
On a Tuesday
I think you've lost your mind
I think I lost mine too
Givin up Givin up Givin up Givin up on You

You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls
You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls

And I am coming undone, coming undone
Coming undone all I was
I'm talking waterfalls
You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls
I'm talking waterfalls

You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls
You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls
And I am coming undone, coming undone
Coming undone all I was
I'm talking waterfalls
Cause You make Me so so sad
I'm talking waterfalls




I'm talking waterfalls
I'm talking waterfalls

Overall Meaning

The Wldlfe's song Waterfalls is a heartbreaking ballad about love and loss. The lyrics follow a narrator who is trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship. They express their confusion and hurt, asking their partner if they really mean to leave them. Despite making plans for the summer, it seems that the partner has already given up on the relationship. The singer is left feeling inadequate and wondering if they were not good enough for their partner. They describe feeling like everything is falling apart and they can't take it much longer.


The second half of the song takes a darker turn as the singer describes their partner's descent into alcoholism. They are alone in their room thinking about their partner who is somewhere at the bottom of a bottle on a Tuesday. The singer believes that their partner has lost their mind and they too have lost themselves in the chaos of the relationship. They ultimately come to the conclusion that they need to give up on the relationship, as it is causing them too much pain.


Waterfalls is a poignant and relatable song about the pain and confusion of lost love. The raw honesty of the lyrics is what gives the song its emotional power. It's a reminder that heartbreak is a universal experience that can be both devastating and transformative.
