If I Fell
Love's Turmoil: A Heart's Dilemma
Lyrics
If I fell in love with you
If the speaker falls in love with the person addressed
Would you promise to be true
Seeking a promise of fidelity and truthfulness
And help me understand
Requesting assistance in understanding the complexities of love
'Cause I've been in love before
Acknowledging past experiences of being in love
And I found that love was more
Reflecting on the depth of love beyond simple physical gestures
Than just holding hands.
Love involves more than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you
If the speaker entrusts their heart to the addressed person
I must be sure
Emphasizing the importance of certainty and commitment from the beginning
From the very start
Desiring assurance that the addressed person's love will surpass that of a previous lover
That you would love me more than her.
Comparing the addressed person's love to that of a previous partner
If I trust in you oh please
Expressing a plea for trust in the addressed person
Don't run and hide
Urging against avoidance and concealment if trust is placed
If I love you too oh please
Requesting not to harm the speaker's pride if love is reciprocated
Don't hurt my pride like her
Comparing potential actions to a previous painful experience
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
Expressing the inability to endure emotional pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.
Fearing sadness if the newfound love does not succeed
So I hope you see that I
Reiterating the desire for mutual love
Would love to love you
Expressing willingness to love the addressed person
And that she will cry
Anticipating the emotional response of a previous lover
When she learns we are two
Referring to the emotional impact on the previous lover
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.
Repeating the fear of sadness and vain love
So I hope you see that I
Reaffirming the desire for mutual love
Would love to love you
Expressing the willingness to love the addressed person
And that she will cry
Anticipating the emotional response of a previous lover
When she learns we are two
Referring to the emotional impact on the previous lover
If I fell in love with you.
If the speaker falls in love with the person addressed
