You Don't Love Me
Victoria Anthony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess I always knew that I'd never make it out alive
I'm terrified of being used, but you made me give it a try

You wanted me
You kept me close
Until that night you weren't alone

Don't even say that you love me
You're too afraid that we're something
You walked away, now I can't breathe
You don't get to say that you love me

I was young, and I believed
That you were all that I deserved
Now I'm cut
You made me bleed
And you'll never know how much it hurts
You'd have to learn to feel first

Don't even say that you love me
You're too afraid that we're something
You walked away, now I can't breathe
You don't get to say that you love me

Don't get to say, don't get to say you love me
You don't love me
You don't love me

I'm waiting by the phone while you undress her
I don't even know, maybe it's better
Running after you was too much pressure
Ah ah ah
Baby, I'm done, and I've learned my lesson
People like you, they aren't ones to mess with
You kept me close
Until that night
Now I'm alone

Don't even say that you love me
You're too afraid that we're something (Oh)
You walked away, now I can't breathe
You don't get to say that you love me

Don't even, don't even
You don't get to say you love me
Don't even, don't even
You don't even love me
I'm waiting by the phone while you undress her
I don't even know, maybe it's better




You don't love me
You don't love me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Victoria Anthony's song "You Don't Love Me" portray a story of heartbreak and realization. The singer has always had a feeling that they would never escape this relationship alive, metaphorically speaking. Despite their fear of being used, they decided to give love a chance with their partner. However, things took a turn when they discovered that their partner wasn't faithful and was with someone else that night. The singer pleads with their partner not to claim love because they are too afraid of committing and being in a real relationship. They are left devastated, feeling betrayed, and unable to breathe after the partner walks away.


The song delves into the singer's beliefs when they were young, thinking that the partner was all they deserved, only to end up wounded and bleeding emotionally. The partner will never truly understand the extent of their pain because they have never learned to feel or empathize. The singer realizes that waiting for their partner while they are with someone else is fruitless, and they are left alone.


The lyrics show a growth in the singer as they have learned their lesson and no longer want to be involved with someone like their former partner. They acknowledge that people like their partner are not to be messed with. They have finally reached the point of being done with the toxic relationship and the false claims of love.

Wonderful singing. The BC landscape and lighting are great to watch and feel along with the lyrics of the song that show a beautiful soul under a beautiful woman's skin. In contrast to most broken heart songs that pollute the world with resentment and contempt, this song shows that women can truly love and cure in a healthier way. I hope she never stops writing and singing from a good heart and soul! Our own souls will thank her for that.
