Don't Love Me
Breaking Free from Deceptive Love: Don't Love Me by Sarah Darling
Lyrics
There’s a big bad wolf behind that smile
There is a hidden danger or deception behind the person's apparent happiness.
Its getting harder and harder to hide it
The difficulty of concealing the true nature or emotions is increasing.
And this stained glass box that you’re keeping me in is
A metaphorical description of feeling confined in a relationship, represented by a stained glass box.
Getting smaller and smaller you guard it
The confinement is intensifying, and the person is actively protecting this confinement.
Like your secret treasure
The person guards their secrets and emotional barriers as if they are precious.
I fell so fast I didn’t see the clouds
The emotional descent happened quickly, without realization, and troubles are looming.
Getting darker and darker above me
The emotional atmosphere is becoming increasingly negative and challenging.
These alarms going off in my head
Internal warnings or concerns are becoming more prominent and disturbing.
Are getting louder and louder I’m finding
The realization of the harmful nature of the relationship is becoming clearer and more pronounced.
Your no good for me, this ain’t how it’s suppose to be
Acknowledgment that the relationship is unhealthy and not aligned with expectations.
If this is the way it feels
Expressing a desire to avoid the negative emotions associated with the relationship.
I don’t want to feel it anymore
The person wants to end the experience of negative emotions linked to the relationship.
I’m out the door baby
Deciding to leave the relationship behind.
If this is the way it goes down
Expressing a reluctance to witness the unfolding of the relationship's deterioration.
Don’t wanna be around to see
Preferably avoiding the negative consequences or outcomes of the relationship.
How low it takes me cause
Anticipating a potential emotional decline due to the problematic nature of the relationship.
If this is love baby don’t love me
Declaring that if this is love, it is not desired or accepted.
You see me talking to another guy
Noticing jealousy and possessiveness when interacting with other people.
Any guy and you get
Intensification of jealousy with any interaction with another person.
Greener and greener with jealousy
The jealousy is escalating, becoming more pronounced and intense.
And these little mind games that you love to play
Reference to manipulative tactics and mind games in the relationship.
Are getting meaner and meaner controlling me
The manipulative tactics are becoming harsher and more controlling.
I think I’ll pass on you and all of that
Choosing to reject the person and the negative aspects of the relationship.
If this is the way it feels
Reiterating the desire to avoid the negative emotions associated with the relationship.
I don’t want to feel it anymore
Expressing a wish to discontinue the experience of negative emotions linked to the relationship.
I’m out the door baby
Choosing to leave the relationship decisively.
If this is the way it goes down
Expressing a reluctance to witness the unfolding of the relationship's deterioration.
Don’t wanna be around to see
Preferably avoiding the negative consequences or outcomes of the relationship.
How low this takes me cause
Anticipating a potential emotional decline due to the problematic nature of the relationship.
If this is love baby don’t love me
Declaring that if this is love, it is not desired or accepted.
I don’t need your brand of love
Rejecting the type of love offered by the person.
