I'm Confessin'
Vignola Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you,
Honest I do, need you every moment.
In your eyes I read such strange things,
But your lips deny they're true,
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me,
Saying "can't we still be friends"
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends.
Am I guessin' that you love me,
Dreaming dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you, over again.
The lyrics of Vignola Frank's "I'm Confessin'" express the deep longing and vulnerability of one who confesses their love to another person, uncertain of whether their feelings will be reciprocated. The singer admits to loving and needing the other person, while also expressing doubts about their own interpretation of the other's feelings. The line "In your eyes I read such strange things, / But your lips deny they're true" reveals the confusion and uncertainty that often accompany romantic relationships, where nonverbal cues can be misinterpreted and words might not match the way someone truly feels.
The singer expresses fear of rejection and the possible loss of the other person's affection, but also acknowledges their complete dependence on them. The lines "If you go, you know you'll grieve me, / All in life on you depends" highlight the deep emotional bond between the two people and the high stakes of their relationship. The final verse suggests that despite all the uncertainty and potential heartbreak, the singer cannot help but continue to love the other person, even if it means confessing their feelings over and over again.
