Falling for You
Wynn Stewart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You bring me happiness and leave me loneliness
My world is in distress cause I'm falling for you
You look into my eyes and tell the sweetest lies
You're a heartbreak in disguise and I'm falling for you
Oh darling when you're near my world is happy dear
But when you disappear I'm afraid that we're through
I love in misery you're so unfair to me
It's all a mystery why I'm falling for you

Oh darling when you're near

Overall Meaning

, my world is happy dear. However, when you disappear, it causes distress and sadness because I cannot imagine life without you. Your words bring happiness to me yet cause me misery because they are not true, and you hide the truth behind a facade of a loving persona. It is a cruel game you are playing, causing confusion and hurt to my already vulnerable heart. But despite all the warning signs and signs of your potential danger to my fragile heart, I cannot help but fall deeper in love with you, and it is a mystery as to why I keep falling for you.

Wynn Stewart's "Falling for You" is a heartbreaking country ballad that follows the story of a man who is torn between the feelings of joy and the distress that his love interest brings into his life. As he sings, he is aware of the hurt that the woman causes him, but he cannot help but fall deeper in love with her, despite the deceit and heartbreak she brings. It is a tale many can relate to as love can often be a complex emotion that leaves us perplexed and conflicted.
