I Don't Want to Fall in Love Again
Guarded Heart: Embracing the Fear of Love
Lyrics
I don't want to fall in love again
I am unwilling to experience falling in love once more.
I don't want to know your mom or dad
I don't desire to be acquainted with your parents.
I don't want to know the things you like
I don't want to be aware of your preferences and interests.
Cause thinking about them would keep me up at night
Contemplating those things would disturb my peace at night.
I don't want to sit in silence and listen to a song
I don't want to share silent moments, listening to a song.
I don't want to have it hurt me every time I turn it on
Hearing that song would cause emotional pain each time I play it.
I don't want you saying my name
I reject you saying my name.
Or loving the way that it sounds
Or enjoying the way my name sounds.
I don't want to fall in love again
Repeating the reluctance to fall in love again.
I don't think you should come around
I advise against your presence.
I don't want to fall in love again
Reiteration of the aversion to falling in love again.
I don't think you should come around
Reiterating the suggestion to stay away.
I don't want you standing close to me
I prefer you to keep a distance.
I don't want to feel empty when you leave
I don't want to feel a sense of emptiness when you depart.
I don't want to read your eyes or need your hands
I resist understanding your emotions through eye contact or touch.
What torture that they're tied to just one man
Expressing the difficulty of being tied to one person.
I don't want to feel you with me when you're no longer there
I don't want to sense your presence when you're no longer there.
I don't want to know a love like that can just vanish in thin air
I reject the idea that love can suddenly disappear.
I don't want you saying my name
Reiteration of not wanting you to say my name.
Or loving the way that it sounds
Or appreciating the way my name sounds.
I don't want to fall in love again
Repeated reluctance to fall in love again.
I don't think you should come around
Advice against your presence, once more.
I don't want to fall in love again
Restating the aversion to falling in love again.
I don't think you should come around
Reiterating the suggestion to stay away, again.
I fear for it all and I know that I don't understand
I feel anxiety about everything, acknowledging a lack of understanding.
But I never have to lose his love again
Expressing a fear of losing love but asserting a resolution to avoid it.
I fear for it all and I know that I don't understand
Reiteration of fear and lack of understanding, coupled with a commitment to avoid losing love.
But I never have to lose his love again
Restating the fear and resolution to never lose that particular love again.
I never have to lose his love again
Emphasizing the determination to never experience the loss of that specific love again.
