You Don't Love Me
The Wldlfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burn it down
Too much to handle
When I′m around
And I never thought
We'd be blacking out
Yellow horizon
You don't love me like you used to
You don't hold me like you know I′m scared of the dark
You don′t love me like you used to
Never thought I'd live to see it all fall apart
So excuse my heart just for asking
′Cause I'm not sure that I want the truth
′Cause you don't love me like you used to
Sipping water
Smoking cigarettes
To keep the thought of you out of my head
And I never thought
We′d be down and out
Yellow horizon
But it's raining now
You don't love me like you used to
You don′t hold me like you know I′m scared of the dark
You don't love me like you used to
Never thought I′d live to see it all fall apart
So excuse my heart just for asking
'Cause I′m not sure that I want the truth
'Cause you don′t love me like you used to
This could take some getting used to
'Cause you don't love me like you used to
You don′t hold me like you know I′m scared of the dark
You don't love me like you used to
Never thought I′d live to see it all fall apart
So excuse my heart just for asking
'Cause I′m not sure that I want the truth
'Cause you don′t love me like you used to
You don't love me like you used to
You don't love me like you used to
(No)
You don′t love me no
You don′t love me no
You don't love me no
You don′t love me like you used to
The Wldlfe's You Don't Love Me is a song about a protagonist whose relationship with their significant other is falling apart. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song by conveying a sense of despair and helplessness. The use of the phrase "light a candle, burn it down" can be seen as a metaphor for trying to hold on to something that is bound to come to an end.
The chorus of the song is where the singer expresses their feelings of abandonment and the realization that their partner does not love them as they used to. The line "you don't hold me like you know I'm scared of the dark" is a poignant reminder of how, in a relationship, we depend on our partners to provide emotional support and a sense of security. However, the narrative suggests that the singer's partner is no longer fulfilling that role.
The second verse sees the singer using alcohol and cigarettes as a coping mechanism to deal with the pain of their relationship's breakdown. The use of the word "down and out" suggests that their situation is not getting any better, despite their efforts to move on.
The final verse ends on a note of uncertainty, suggesting that coming to terms with the reality of their partner's lack of love will take some getting used to. Ultimately, the song is a reflection of the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that once held so much promise.

Lonely
Зажги свечу
Сжечь дотла
Слишком много, чтобы справиться
Когда я рядом
И я никогда не думал
Мы бы отключились
Желтый горизонт
Но сейчас идет дождь
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Ты не держишь меня, как будто знаешь, что я боюсь темноты
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Никогда не думал, что доживу, чтобы все это развалилось
Так что извините мое сердце за то, что я спросил
Потому что я не уверен, что хочу правду
Потому что ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Пить воду
Курить сигареты
Чтобы сохранить мысль о
Ты из моей головы
И я никогда не думал
Мы были бы в плохом состоянии
Желтый горизонт
Но сейчас идет дождь
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Ты не держишь меня, как будто знаешь, что я боюсь темноты
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Никогда не думал, что доживу, чтобы все это развалилось
Так что извините мое сердце только за то, что я спросил
Потому что я не уверен, что хочу правду
Потому что ты не любишь меня, как раньше
К этому нужно привыкнуть
Потому что ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Ты не держишь меня, как будто знаешь, что я боюсь темноты
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Никогда не думал, что доживу, чтобы все это развалилось
Так что извините мое сердце за то, что я спросил
Потому что я не уверен, что хочу правду
Потому что ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
Ты не любишь меня нет
Ты не любишь меня нет
Ты не любишь меня нет
Ты не любишь меня, как раньше
