If I were You
Love's Undoing: A Heartbroken Journey in Mike + The Mechanics' Melody
Lyrics
Mike and the Mechanics - If I were you
Expression of the artist, Mike + The Mechanics, contemplating a hypothetical situation
She lied to me
Referring to a betrayal or deception by someone
I don't get it, I'm not letting it go
Frustration and reluctance to let go of the betrayal
I can't get through anymore, not this time
Feeling unable to overcome the situation this time
She cheated me
Highlighting another instance of being deceived
Of all my senses up against it this time
Suggesting a deep impact on emotions and senses this time
I can't fight anymore, not this time
Expressing a sense of surrender, unable to fight against the situation
Falling I'm falling
Describing a state of falling, possibly into emotional turmoil
Sooner or later there'll be nothing out there
Anticipating a future where nothing remains
All that I believe in
The erosion of beliefs, with confusion and disorientation
Spinning around me it don't make no sense
Feelings of chaos and lack of meaning surrounding the artist
And I'm falling I'm falling
Reiterating the theme of falling and a potential emptiness in the future
Sooner or later there'll be nobody left
Envisioning a scenario where there is no one left
Calling I'm calling
Continued calls for help or attention
Somebody stop me falling off the edge of this life
Desperation to be rescued from the challenges of life
What does it take?
Pleading for understanding and empathy
Someone hear me, listen clearly I'm done
Expressing a sense of being done or finished with the situation
She broke my heart in her hand and was gone
Narrating the breaking of the artist's heart and the departure of someone
Can I get through, tell me
Questioning the possibility of communication or connection
I'm in frefall down
Describing a state of free fall, possibly in emotions or life
And I can't stop now it's not right
Feeling compelled to continue, even though it feels wrong
She turned my soul out and left me undone
Describing a profound impact on the artist's soul
Falling I'm falling
Repetition of the theme of falling
Sooner or later there'll be nothing out there
Anticipating a future with nothing left
All that I believe in
Reiteration of disorientation and loss of belief
Spinning around me it don't make any sense now
Emphasizing the lack of sense or coherence
Falling I'm falling
Continued expression of falling, anticipating emptiness
Sooner or later there'll be nobody left
Envisioning a scenario with nobody left
Calling I'm calling
Continued calls for help or attention
Somebody stop me falling in and out of this life
Desire for someone to intervene in the artist's life
Falling I'm falling
Reiteration of falling, anticipating nothing in the future
Sooner or later there'll be nothing out there
Anticipating a future with nothing left
All that I believe in
Reiteration of disorientation and loss of belief
Spinning around me it don't make any sense now
Emphasizing the lack of sense or coherence
Falling I'm falling
Continued expression of falling, anticipating emptiness
Sooner or later there'll be nobody left
Envisioning a scenario with nobody left
Calling I'm calling
Continued calls for help or attention
Somebody stop me falling off the edge of this life
Desire for someone to intervene in the artist's life
